If Vingegaard isn’t at 100% WVA becomes more valuable due to being able to help and support and long range move. Visma aren’t going to go crazy for fear of Vingegaard losing time or getting harder to get to top shape.
I was trying to say that Visma needs someone to replace Nathan, because he was very good protecting the leader in the flat stages. There's nobody like him, Wout is not his replacement.

More likely neither or 1 starts the Tour then both.

Vingegaard also still hasn’t started training normally by the sounds of it. Him being close enough to his top shape was always a pipe dream but that doesn’t mean he can’t win a stage or a miracle happens and something occurs to the other 3. I think his best bet is still the Vuelta and not rushing anything that can cause issues down the road.

Well, if he doesn't start the Tour, we'll know his injuries were as bad as reported. Otherwise they should only be posting fotos of him in a wheelchair!

He is already training normally. At least since the end of last week.

Normal training 5-6 weeks before the Tour and after 6-7 weeks of healing/recovery or very light training. I don't think that this is enough. They will make the decision on this later: the goal is to get back to being competitive as quickly as possible regardless of his next race (be it Tour or Vuelta or something between).
