It wasn't his fault that he didn't do it more often (although with Roglič he was at least indirectly a factor in them having different schedules). In other seasons either one or both of Pogačar and Remco would have done Itzulia and/or Dauphiné.

Well, Pogacar, roglic and remco also didn't race all top guns from february to october.
No of course not, but the point I was making was that according to what has been in the press, the One Cycling circus wants the same guys racing each other from February to October, which means no more just being at 100% for the Tour.
I support that idea.
Well, the other opponents probably also will not be at 100%, but he can be competitive at 90/95% like we saw in the vuelta 2023.

This makes me think doping is for athletes what autotune is for singers. Without real talent it can't save you anyway.
I'm waiting to see the news of a singer entering hospital Riccò style for badly administered autotuning.
There was a headwind on that climb and it wasn't even a hard gradient, putting 40-50s into most of the serious guys, must've been some nuclear watts going on.
Before we get all carried away, I think it's best to wait until Sunday to see how the altitude training has been over the Winter. Visma will want Vingegaard at 100% in July and it's still only February.
Even so, with the prospect of facing Pogacar and Roglic at the Tour, we could be in for more w/kg then usual at this time of year.

The guy beats the peleton on shallow climbs and in various terrain. Either he's become a classic specialist or we will see a watt bomb tomorrow. What do you think is more likely?
I expect Vingegaard to win but apart from the guys who raced Columbia, there's not a lot of competition. To be honest it looks like most just want to get in the kms and get home and out of the rain.
I don't expect crazy w/kg - it's only February but Visma will want to play some mind games with UAE & Bora.

It's going to be a crazy one this summer. Hope, everyone has saved their Oppenheimer memes.
I guess dorkus maximus helmets don't help that much?
He actually went and said it.
