If he's able he should ride as much of it that will help his form. JV needs all of the help they can get.

The news today about his update gave me some good hope that he will be in the Tour, and even if he enters in the Tour at 90/95% of his best shape like in the Vuelta 2023, i still "like" the chances of him winning the race, because he can improve day by day and being in peak shape by the third week.

Let's not forget the Tour 2024 is "backloaded" in the last 9 days.

In other news today Visma announced Kelderman is out of the Giro because he hasn't recovered from his collarbone fracture in Paris-Nice.

So I wouldn't hold anyone to any timetable, or assume a best case scenario for Vingegaard's TdF defense prospects. I think it's wait & see. Just like for Evenepoel & even Rog (based on the fact he hurt his knee).

Another rider out of the Giro that could "challenge" Pogacar (at least, put him out of zone 2). Can't even know who would win the Giro if Pogacar crashed out.
If Vingegaard misses Dauphiné, he will be out for the Tour.

I guess Remco and Roglic will be fine for the Tour. Roglic will probably race Liege very soon.

Kelderman already broke 4 times the collarbone, that's a problem for him.

So Vingegaard had a pneumothorax right?

I think the time for recovery for this can vary drastically. It took Davie Selke, a forward for the club I support back then, more than a year to come back to the level of fitness that was necessary for his game.

Of course I hope this will not be a similar story for Vingegaard but a pneumothorax is a nasty injury I think and I guess even if he recovers well and fast from it, he will have been a long time without training by then.

I think he will skip Dauphiné and go on altitude instead, which is much more important for the tour han race km's.

Not necessarily. I'll repeat what I already said in another thread. Top guys don't need prep races that much to be in a very high form. If Dauphine collides with high-quality pre-Tour training (that can compensate for the preparation shortcomings) they will surely choose the latter.

But his team has announced Vingegaard will participate at the Tour ONLY at 100 %. So, start at 98 % and "grow" or become stronger during the Tour (as Van Aert did a few years ago after surgery for appendicitis, winning 3 stages the last 10 days) will not happen.
