    from the numbers he appears on an higher level than last year at this time. This GP of montreal had the same exact parcours of last year and very similar wheather conditions (actually today was very hot) and he completed the race in 14 minutes less than last year, average speed was almost 2 km/h...

    this would be a great team, especially if vine is 100% committed to pogacar (which I doubt). It would be a super strong team both for the mountains and the TTT. But I doubt it will be like this.

    how can you not see it, look at the full picture on x, there's TT1 written in the part below the saddle, and the saddle is clearly from a TT bike

    there's literally TT written on it (in the part below the saddle)! plus you can clearly see it from the saddle it's the TT bike.
