I think for Primoz Roglic, sadly, it will be difficult to go for the TdF win in 2022 - because of his knee back problems. Vlasov, however, certainly has chances to beat Pogacar and win the TdF 2022.
Pogacar is the five star favourite for the Tour, and I would give Vlasov four and a half stars.
Let‘s wait what the next weeks will bring, but at the moment, I‘d say Vlasov is the rider who has good chances to beat Pogacar.
Enric Mas, for example, certainly won‘t beat Pogi. He is not strong enough. Vlasov in top shape, however, could be on a level with Pogacar.
One thing is for sure: Vlasov won‘t start the Tour 2022 to go for the podium. He will start to win it. We‘ll see if it‘s possible…
