Pogacar will not double a Tour-Vuelta in his career.
Not because of spring classics but because he is always fried after the Tour.
August is his weakest month of the year - regardless of him doing the classics or not.
It's not just about preparation. If Vingegaard races the Dauphine Pogacar would need to push much harder.
It's a way to measure yourself against your biggest rival but it can also exhaust you more.
I'm 100% sure that 'star' riders don't have a clause in their contracts that forces them to do the Tour.
And about the Roglic argument - he did the Tour because this was HIS decision.
I hope Remco doesn't do the Tour. He is a star rider and shouldn't be forced to only 'participate' for the sponsors.
Full focus and all in for the Giro and Vuelta.
Pog is probably cuddling with his wife now while the young del Toro is still working hard for UAE. 71 race days and still going, still winning.
It appears only the Pogster is afraid of 'burning out'.
