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

Le soldat Joao… le gâchis Almeida ?
Joao Almeida a triomphé dimanche d'un Tour de Suisse bien mal engagé et conclu par une performance majuscule
www.eurosport.fr
lol.
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.

Yeah so a GT win is his next goal. Now he has said it out loud lol.
So if they won't give him a GT of his own next year I think 2027 he'll switch team. He clearly is hinting that he doesn't want to do Tdf next year.
Everything is said between the lines nowadays.

Next year, it should be something this:
Pogacar - Tour
Almeida - Giro/Vuelta
Ayuso - Tour/Vuelta (first year doing 2 GTs)
Del Toro - Giro or Vuelta (I believe it will be the Giro)

No. I prefer to see him in the Giro 2026. This Vuelta is not made for him, specially against Vingegaard.

Do you think Vingegaard's wife will let him do the Vuelta?

I don't have faith in winning vuelta this year.
But obviously I wouldn't complain if he won vuelta this year.
But giro vuelta next year. Whether he wins vuelta this year or not he should still do giro vuelta next year

But in what world will Almeida win the Tour? I want him to win a GT.

No, it wouldn't. You are portuguese, you know that. We already had a Tour podium finisher, but a GT winner we never had.
Makes sense, pogi can focus on classics and the Tour + Vuelta or Worlds, while Almeida rides the Giro.
However pog winning 4 gts in row would be great as well.
