This should be a good stage for Vingegaard, relatively. He's very explosive but gets worse the harder the race gets.

Stating that someone is a better climber than a GT-winner isn't contradictory, though.

Almeida would like a word.

50% chance Pogacar wins, and 50% chance Healy wins.

No, no and no 🙂

On average, I think the time difference between Pogacar and Vingegaard will be 0 seconds.

You're a hero, Devil's Elbow. Far and away the best route preview anywhere on the internet, and it's not even close.

You must be mistaken. Laporte isn't there.

He will have quite a few minutes deficit to overcome after week 1 due to crosswinds, positioning, and, of course, the ITT, but of course there are a lot of minutes to win in the third week. I think he can challenge for a top 7 and if everything goes perfect, even a top 5 is not out of the question.

Although I prefer a prologue, I honestly don't mind a flat stage to open the race. It's a rare chance for sprinters to take yellow, and if you have to have so many sprint stages each year, I prefer one of them to be stage 1 since you're just psyched that the Tour is starting, and I actually...

I think it's very close between Evenepoel and Almeida. Then Roglic, Lipowitz and Jorgenson.

It's interesting that he's still so good in ITT's when he's one of the worst riders on the world tour on road stages.

I was hoping no one would catch that. Oh well, math is idiotic.

I just calculated his chances in the Tour using a completely scientific method: Win: 1.7% Second place: 14.8% Third place: 34.1% Podium total: 51.6%

I think it's pretty obvious that Almeida has been on another level this year compared to other years. Honestly, I even give him a small chance of beating Vingegaard in the Tour.
