Yup. Visma clearly hope Vigo gets stronger and races himself into better fitness as the race progresses. UAE clearly hope that Todd maintains or at minimum loses very little form over the course of 3 weeks.Pog needs to gain time over Vingo in the first time trial (I mean a few dozens of seconds) and at the same time stay close to Remco. I feel that both Pog and Remco will have stellar TTs. The race is long: JV's obvious plan is to limit losses early on and attack later but their problem could be that Vingo isn't as well prepared as normally.
Of course, this is all guess work and who knows what the hell is really going on
