A stage race is not a one-day race. Froome could also do well early in stage races.

Would Vingegaard suddenly fly if this was the first stage of a 5-day race? No, not at this stage of the season.
Would he be dropped like a stone if this was the first stage of the Tour? No way.
He's totally out of form right now and never targeted one-day races when it comes to form peak. The only question are 250 km long races (he may lack endurance for them) but when it comes to shorter races the terrain and his form determines his abilities to win.
