Impressive

 

[Red Rick]

Australian Storer who in turn is just Australian Ben King?

 

[Skalman]

Strange and impressive..

 

[Phillip O'Garner]

I wonder if BEX or Ineos will be calling Jay in the near future. I imagine he's probably on a smallish contract at the moment.

I think most WT teams will stand inline for him. Didn't he have a 1 year or 2 year contract?

 

[Lequack]

Isn't Alpecin going WT next year?

Isn't Alpecin going WT next year?

Exactly yes. Still could see him joining a „proper GC team“

 

[IndianCyclist]

Next contract will be for 3 years i think. Hopefully he does not become TDF focused

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

it's not strange at all. watt monster.

It's with I heard on one of the podcasts with actual pro cyclists, there are plenty of these watt monsters in the peloton who have average results on the road because they struggle with the actual cycling. Cornering, saving energy, surfing the peloton. As soon as one of those watt monsters figure that part out they get the actual results.

Nice climb performance for being in the break ( he also attacked very early on the climb)

Well WT teams hardly showed interest after his performance in 2021 when he had a one year Zwift Contract.

GC contender, definitely.

Not sure about that yet. I don’t think for example that he lost time on stage 4 on purpose since. But obviously nice potential in him.

I see him climbing the GC anyway I look.
Will need to drop a massive chunk to turn the trend.
And I'm sure they'd (he and team) love to capitalize on the brilliant form.
...the stages are done, the jersey's there, what's next?

Alpecin could do well building around him with the likes of Meurisse and Stannard with some other climbers as support.

Otherwise, maybe he wants to become a Virenque style rider with a few big cameos each GT

Last year he extended with Alpecin for 2 more years.

Jay Vine to do Santi Perez?
Impressive ride.. Really happy for him.

 

[Bolder]

Winning from a break and when you're not a GC threat is not the same as being a GC contender. Throw him in the Tour next year with some support and aim for a Top 10...

Alpecin has limited climbing support in the team.

 

[geisterhome]

If he shrunk by 10 cm's, developed a squeaky voice and gave death stares to the media........maybe

Wow, Evans is listed at 1,74 m... But was he really that tall, he always looked (being on a bike) like in the high 160ties to me?

Pretty sure that was right. He was taller than Porte who was about two inches shorter.

 

[sir fly]

A massive chunk dropped...
Suppose the aim are GPMs along the way.

Indeed, he didn't seem to try, or knew he shouldn't try after the breakaway from yesterday. He is clearly picking stage wins and mountain jersey over a potential top 10 GC, which is very understandable.
I can see him win some more stages if he can get away and if those breakaway companions want to ride with him. Because not everyone is as stupid as FDJ to do most of the pulling.
I hope he can still show himself on Sierra Nevada though. If it isn't for the win, maybe for top5 on that mountain.

I'm not sure he'll be a too desired breakaway companion.
Thought he'd be maintaining the KOM position by mixing in the GC... plenty of points at the finish lines.
Probably still profiling himself.

I just had an epiphany regarding his name. I don't know whether this is common, but sometimes people make a wordjoke with names, by swapping the first letters from people's names around. Like Wim Tellens, or Savel Pivakov. I wonder if Jay had some mean kids in his school when he was 8 years old.

I'm glad i could share this very important piece of analysis with you.
