Not a huge difference tho, if any. Jonas had at the end of the 2022 season 3x 2nd (Dauphine, Itulzia and Tirreno) + 6th (Itulzia) and 8th (Pologne). If we just look at the 4 first that gives an average position of 3,0. Remcos 4 best results in the big one week stages gives 2,75. But one cant...

Ah sorry, I missed the memo that the only two options availible are "being happy with that" and "CRAZY BAD"

2nd in Catalunya, 2nd in Paris-Nice, 3rd in Tour de Suisse, 4th in Dauphine, 4th in Itulzia, 5th in Romandie. cRaZy BaD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cycling Academy Team... Their emailadresses are all @cyclingacademy.org and have probably been since the start.

It’s the classical climb only once.

Doing Tirreno and San Remo, then long altitude camp before Liege and Giro is a pretty traditional Giro-prep. One can even throw in Tour of the Alps like Nibali did back in the days. From Liege to Giro start there are 13 days, even time for a short altitude camp, like some do between Dauphine/NC...

Again: Last year there was 2, the one over Galibier and the one over Bonette to Isola. You dont need to come up with fake stats to prove that Vingegaard is a better climber than Remco, everyone agrees on that.

First UAE need to make sure Visma doesnt get satelite riders in the break. That's historically not been one of UAEs strengths...

Also not in a year where everyone is screaming for him to ride San Remo.

Stage 17, but that doesnt count as "high mountains"

It's a big mistake to think that winning or not is the only measurement for a parcour being good or bad for a specific rider. In the case of Remco, a good route for him will be a route where he is getting relatively close to Pogacar and Vingegaard and a bad route will be a route where he is...

I think around 2005-2012 would be the most Remco friendly parcour. 2005 perhaps? Stage 15 to Pla dAdet would've been a real challenge. 2006 definitively. Two long ITTs and not very hard mountain stages (with steep climbs) outside the Morzine stage. 2007 maybe? 2009 only had like one really hard...

Stage 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 17 (?) & 21 are for sprinters, so a long ITT instead on stage 8 would've been perfect. But Gouvenou hates TTs.

Without rain it should be a full on sprint then I guess.

Stage 14 to Markstein looks cool, but maybe too long valley before the final climb?
