The women's team joined them at the training camp. Or was it the other way around maybe.

Also women have a different build, their hips for instance are just broader and if you "take away" the breasts, meaning not that much fat there and stuffed in a tight sport bra, and still have to put all the organs somewhere they look "chunkier" in these kits... but if you see them in real life they are such light persons...

Roglič has finished the Sierra Nevada camp yesterday. He is now going to recon some stages in the Pyrenees (Col de Portet, Luz Ardiden) before heading to Tignes where he will remain until the Tour.

Wout has also left for Belgium for a couple of days to get vaccinated and will then join Roglič in Tignes at the beginign of June. The rest of the team is heading to the Dauphine and will join Primož and Wout after the race.

Already? He was in a good shape even in March, he actually is all year long.

At the end of spring campaign he was already on a limit. Managed to help van Aert on Amstel Gold and likely wanted to win La Flèche Wallonne. Up to this point he was actually still doing rather good, but on LBL it started to show he needed a much deserved break.

And Fleche Wallone doesn't require the same endurance as AGR and LBL.

Alaphilippe wasn't even in peak shape but still won it.

He downplayed himself a lot in the press prior to the Ardennes. Saying that he wasn't in great shape. A white lie?
Well in 2019 when he won Fleche he got destroyed in LBL and in 2018 he was worse in LBL as well, and I do think LBL is a better indicator of form.

Alaphilippe was bluffing all along as he was in great shape. And if i remember correctly they broke the record on Mur de Huy.
