As if he has ever podiumed one... But I agree in general your posts, there are only so many riders who deserve to demand full support at the Tour and he'd be very egotistical if he thinks he belong in that category.

Rubio is so awkward in this list of names, did you mis-spell rubia or something :p?

If Küng is ever going to win a GT TT surely this has to be one of his better chances, with Ganna out and that starting order.

Signing Laporte will not solve their problem, if the goal is to compete against the big three. I think realistically they should hope for a bounce back year for Asgreen and expand Remco's classics program a bit. I fear that Alaphilippe might not return to his previous level again but let's first...

I don't get why VDP ride so aggressively when Philipsen is in the group?

Apparently he is not on their startlist, so indeed he will be irrelevant

View: https://twitter.com/CharlesMarsault/status/1633430778255212544/photo/1 At this point I am not even surprised anymore ... (Basically UCI being so kind here that they awarded 60 points to each of the members of JV instead of 60 to the whole squad)

Vernon's two wins count only for the Devo team no?

Haven't a clue to be honest, but I highly doubt that they signed him to win Fleche anyways

That is the direction we need to move forward to though to make the relagation/promotion system make sense imo. From my point of view there are a few fallacies in the current system. WT status does not bring significant benefit, for certain teams, at least. For example, we have teams like B&B...

I don't like the idea of comparing points between WT teams and non-WT teams. I can't think of any other promotion/relagation system that works this way. For me, promoting/relegating should be an annual process, and two WT teams that performed the worst in WT Races automatically get relagated...

He is not going to Lombardia, though. That one is for Masnada to shine ;)

That is the neat part, you don't. :p

Remco can afford to sit on Mas's wheel here because there is nobody in front that would threaten his gc lead, whereas at Sierra Nevada Mas is ahead and would threnten Roglic's second place before Remco's lead, therefore he should contribute to the chase theoretically. Of course he can say second...

Let me start by agreeing you that some negative comments towards Remco absolute nonsense. However, it is also a bit harsh to criticize Ayuso like this imo, especially when the whole UAE squad just does't work like a team barring stage 1 this Vuelta. Soler, Polanc, Ayuso and Almeida himself all...
