João Almeida - Bota Lume

[noob]

He did ask to do the Tour last year, because he had never done it. He got the best placing he could ask for, even if he was on another team.

For this year I have no idea, but with things going well for him last season and Ayuso's request for leadership, maybe he didn't mind doing the Tour again. I do think he can beat Remco and finish 3rd.

Yeah last year it made some sense to want to do tdf. This year it didn't. I don't know if he can beat Remco. We'll just wait and see

Spencer really likes Almeida lol. Brunyel though says he's probably the strongest after Remco. Which I agree with.

But also mentions Almeida has raced the whole spring.

I almost hope he won't do vuelta. He'll probably just get 🤒

Froome did 2 GTs in 2012, 2015 (He crashed out in the Vuelta), 2016, 2017, 2018. I didn't count 2014. So during his peak, Froome did almost every year 2 GTs. He became a shadow of himself due to a heavy crash, not because of a burnout.

We were discussing doing 4 consecutive grand Tours as suggested as a possibility for Pogacar.

Del Toro on schedule for Tour of Austria and no mention of his return to Vuelta for second year, would be great after seeing Ayuso snafu to see UAE send everyone to Vuelta, cat fight!! Amedida is rolling well all year, maybe Vuelta bordering on too much

He hints at having a free role in La Vuelta, even if Pogacar decides to go. Let's see, let's see...

He said it is likely Pogacar will be in the Vuelta. I don't mind him having a free role but he can't achieve more than a third place.

After the Tour and such a long season, finishing 3rd in the Vuelta would be a great result.

Yeah. Maybe next year, he will lead the Giro. I just hope Vingegaard doesn't get crushed in the Tour this year because (if this happens) there is a chance he will target the Giro.

Good interview. He is often too diplomatic, but his head is clearly between his shoulders.

He is obviously ambitious, but I find it refreshing that, in this day and age where every talent wants a space under the sun, he says that he is going to the Tour with the sole target of helping Pogacar, no individual targets. I’m sure that he has his own individuals ambitions that he won’t share in an interview, but he knows that without the team’s objective being met his own targets are worthless.
