Del Toro needs to do one big attack, instead of pulling and seek collaboration, when he will get none

On second thought, it's gonna be close.

They won't catch them now.

Yes, it Yes, it seems that MvdP will stop Pogacar from winning MSR and PN, but, with Tadej, you have to wait and see. In other words, don't say he can't win. And that makes me think. It's logical that MvdP cannot win the Tour, but not Pogacar MSR and Roubaix. It says something.

The stage of 21 climbs in my beloved Italia. Let's see.

Any bett Any betting man would say no, but we have to see how the move to Red Bull-Bora developes this year. If he doesn't improve upon his 2024 Tour result (cut the time down to Pog and Vingo), then I think it's fair to say it was never meant to be.

Fingers crossed that Vingo has a smooth run to the Tour. He looks like he's back to building that form that made Pogacar suffer.

Nah, 1.25 kg per week. Otherwise he's getting his a$$ handed to him. Breathing exercises and sparkling water after training till dinner!

Seeing Vingegaard at PN, for Catalunya Remco better lose 5 kg. Not kidding.

Vingegaard crushes it, good for the Tour.

MvdP imperious. Giulio bad a$$<, Roglic sly...

He's got to show improvement at Catalunya or else alarm bells. At any rate, and I hope I'm wrong, but I think Ineos would have been the better team for him to get the most out of himself, not Bora. It's just a feeling.

Unfortunately, we'll never know. Seixas recently was slightly stronger than Del Toro and equal to Ayuso. The point is that he's right in there with the top climbers at the moment, unlike Remco sadly.

To be fair to Remco, he really hasn't had a run up to a GT without setbacks. At the same time, even with perfect prep., I think he still has quite a gap to close on Pogi and Vingo. It's is possible Seixas could burn out prematurely, with what doubtless will be immense pressure placed upon him to...

Th That wasn't my point, but what he has shown thus far and, right now, he seems to be up there just below Pogacar and Vingegaard. I think Paul would have been able to stay with Vingegaard in yesterday's Paris-Nice stage finish, or else very close. Obviously he needs to show what he's made of...
