He's riding for Intermarché, there is no reason to doubt he'll be there in great shape.

You have to hand it to EF, they're on something, but whatever it may be clearly isn't performance enhancing drugs.

Chaves and Guerreiro ended up seventh and ninth on GC. There have been a lot of days to deservedly bash EF this year, today isn't one of them.

Meintjes appears to be in his best form, and as he has already shown more than once, his result when in top form is 8th at the Tour.

Jumbo Visma so strong today, nice stage and GC win. Will be hard to beat them at the Tour.
Solaison is one nasty climb. It's like Col de Romme + 4 km.
O'Connor super impressive once again. As was SK. What luxury to have a GT podium winner as a domestique.
Roglic looked second best today, and maybe 2 kg heavier than he might want to be in the Tour. His TT continues to be his main weapon. Vingegaard...that guy is damn good. I assume at some point in the next 2 years Jumbo will pass the GT torch to him.
As for the rest, eh. I was hoping for an attack at some point on Colombiere but Jumbo just strangled the pack.

I don't think that we are overreacting. But I do agree that it is good news that the squad as a whole is getting better.

Jonas could have destroyed Roglic at any time. If not in the same team. Jonas could have gone on his own, taking 30 or 40 seconds the last 3 km. Roglic would then have been overtaken and left behind by O'Connor. But, Roglic is not in top condition yet, and Jonas probably is.

Vingegaard really shouldnt be in top condition here. He said he didnt train for several weeks (assume right after the Ardennes), and hes usually a bit rusty after a break. He should have one more level come July
Anyways, Jumbo is the only hope, so this is a good sign even though its against a mickey mouse field, lets be totally honest.

How do you see it that way, after yesterday's stage when Roglic struck hard with facile aggression? I think Roglic could have attacked Vingegaard and dropped him when he wanted, but obviously that was not necessary or in team interests.
Well, I have seen another race. Vingegaard had to hold back all the time. At one point, without accelerating, he rode Roglice at two lengths, after which he stopped his effort. Constantly holding back Vingegaard allowed O'Connor to hold out and get even closer..... just to save the suffering yellow jersey

The public demands Roglic and Vingegaard ride the last climb again, this time shirtless with no team associations. Only then will we know who will be good enough for 2nd place at the Tour behind Pog.

I think Vingegaards wheelhouse is the >30 minute climbs while Roglic' best wheelhouse are the 10-15 minute stomps.

I don't think the public will ever demand that climber cyclists go shirtless.The public demands Roglic and Vingegaard ride the last climb again, this time shirtless with no team associations. Only then will we know who will be good enough for 2nd play at the Tour.

I didn't see it that way, but Vingegaard was just pressing on as necessity demanded and there was no reason to go any harder. Roglic wasn't on the limit and just needed to get to the line with the GC wrapped up (and Vingegaard for the win). Win-win for the team.

Could be, but in 2020 Tour Roglic also did long efforts well, despite how it finished.
