That wasn't my point. My point was that this is not taken into account when you look at the separate odds for Giro and Tour, which is what people did to compute the odds for the double.I would think the bookies are smart enough to already take that into account.
1:1Completed the “easy” part. Now what are the odds?
I'm feeling like saying 85% is a conservative estimate.Completed the “easy” part. Now what are the odds?
Roglic’s interruption was minor. Vingegaard’s interruption was massive. I will be surprised he rides the tour let alone be anything close to his 2023 TdF level.70% Pogacar does the double. Never easy but interrupted preps for Roglic and Vingegaard will help.
Froome really lacked competition in these years TBH, but Giro ambush was phenomenal... Pogacar definitely approves such aggressive style with 80k solo.Froome but he finished the 2nd Tour as 3rd.
2018 Tour - 1st
2018 Vuelta - 1st
2019 Grio - 1st
2019 Tour - 3rd
He can beat a 90% Teddy “if he stays on his bike.”People are underestimate Roglic. He is very very good and if he stays on his bike, he can beat a 90% Pogacar. Pogacar needs to bring his A game this Tour and I don't know if he will do it, I keep remind some people, he never rode 2 GT's in one year so something can still go wrong.
Your calculations are a bit off, I think it's closer to 24,3%. You didn't properly account for moronic fans taking selfies along the roads infront of the riders. Easy mistake to make.He can beat a 90% Teddy “if he stays on his bike.”
Part of the problem is that by my calculations, there’s only a 27% chance of Roglic completing a GT without falling off at some point.
75%? I was a bit carefuI guess75% ish and if you ask me to pick an over/under on that number I'll go higher.
This.Poggi has 99 % chance to win the Giro and 91 % chance to win the Tour.
90 % to win both.
