Maybe that is Vingegaard, still chasing the UAE bus?
This morning, i.e. having made the short(ish) trip from Basque Country to western France.When on earth did they do that?
Two TTs in a day? All happening before i had my lunch.
That's some serious dedication!
It's a perfect combination of sense & sending a message. It makes "sense" because the spring classics are around the corner (thus recon of the Tour should be done before Tour preparation in the altitude camp starts as well) & the current Covid lockdown in France (i.e. everyone prohibited from going 10km beyond their home unless it's a specified important reason) means there's less traffic & less hassle when travelling. They probably planned this a while back, win or lose Itzulia.That's 800k today in the car. 330 to Libourne and 480 to Laval. Wow...that's dedication.
Guess he was quite lucky that doing recon for the TdF is considered an important-enough reason, coz I think he might have been a little more than 10km away from his home. Though, to be sure, I don't know exactly where he lives. "Exactly" as in town, not precise address.It's a perfect combination of sense & sending a message.

If I'm not mistaken, they'll do only AGR together. I don't think van Aert is scheduled to ride LBL. TJV will have a strong team for AGR with Vingegaard also.Will be interesting to see on how van Aert and Roglič share their duties in April.
I thought that's a little extreme but you never know with Covid19 restrictions. Maybe they won't have the chance to do a recon in the next couple of months, so better do it now.That's 800k today in the car. 330 to Libourne and 480 to Laval. Wow...that's dedication.
Yes. They will do Amstel together, which should WvA a bit more with the shorter course. WvA will race Brabantse Pijl and then Amstel. Then he will take a race break until June.If I'm not mistaken, they'll do only AGR together. I don't think van Aert is scheduled to ride LBL. TJV will have a strong team for AGR with Vingegaard also.
Of courseSo you were racing with him and had the time to take a picture while climbing the highest pass in Slovenia?
You're the real champion.
Pro athletes have dispensation, I believe. But imagine the scene: Grischa & Primoz get pulled over by the cops & they ask for their Attestation de Déplacement Dérogatoire (i.e. the official document people in France need to present to the authorities which justifies "why" they're traveling).Guess he was quite lucky that doing recon for the TdF is considered an important-enough reason, coz I think he might have been a little more than 10km away from his home.

Primož: TDF 2020
Primož now riding both TTs under police escort.
Probably should but it imagine the salt if he doesn't?So on Sunday he is working for Wout in Amstel Gold or will they work side by side?
I think they should be 1a and 1b option, with 1a being Wout. If there is a situation, where they are both in the same chasing group late in the race, Primož should pull for Wout. But before that, he should be free to attack/follow moves of other contenders.So on Sunday he is working for Wout in Amstel Gold or will they work side by side?
Tolhoek and Vingegaard make the race super hard. Roglič attacks on the hardest part to go solo. Other teams/riders have to chase. Wout sits in theit wheels waiting to sprint to victory if they catch Roglič.I think they should be 1a and 1b option, with 1a being Wout.

Grischa Niermann (sitting in a warm car): "that sounds horribly wrong and is not possible....let's do it! "Easy peasy.Where does Roglič attack? 100km to go on the Cauberg
