2023 is like the stone age.

Look at the last group of stage 9, and you´ll know which cyclists will be in front (of the race or the peloton).

His devasting pace at Pico Jano equalled 7W/kg for 20 minutes or so. And as Evenepoel stated a week or 2 back in an interview with Jan Baekelants in hln: in 2022 you would win with 2 minutes if you pushed 7W/kg for 20 minutes (like in css that year), while nowadays, it is just enough to hang on...

Got ill before the tour, crashed in the first stage.

I think you are assessing it with current courses in mind. Back than it was considered a rather mountainous tdf.

He probably will.

Which they also said after his crash in the Dauphiné a few weeks ago and after his crash in the vuelta he won, as Logic pointed out a few messages ago. Everything that is said by someone of a cycling team can be a lie (or not).

Ohhhh dear. ..

Pogačar and probably Vignegaard to get rid of everyone else. Jorgenson, Almeida, Vauquelin, vdp in a 2nd group. Evenepoel losing a minute or so.

Don´t underestimate stages 4, 6 and 7. Maybe you won´t loose minutes, but 30 seconds here and there might add up.

10 more km to screw up, though...

Does anyone really believes that VdP can follow Pogačar on a 1km climb of over 10%? Barring bad luck, Pog wins.

Didn't look like it, and Vermeersch even crashed on the course.

Well, I didn´t expect that.

Naahhh.... profile is more suited to Pog.
