Vingegaard is really dead at the moment. He needs to rest instead of going to Tour Pologne.
Isn’t his season basically over after his kid arrives? So I think they just want to squeeze him a bit until it’s 2025 and the next season starts.

Ah I didn’t know, PCS doesn’t mention that. Thought his season was over after Poland

Froome is only guessing. The team is saying that a decision won't be made until after the baby has been born. However since we don't know when that is, Anders Lund might be selecting the national team for Worlds before that.

I doubt we’ll see him back into action this season, and definitely not with a worthwhile performance. Just let him be with his wife and kids, and focus on 2025.

Jonas will probably be changing diapers in September. He is a family man after all. He will be accumulating all the love he can get for the destruction he will unleash on the Peloton next year.

This, even if he is racing Lombardia later in the season, he is not going to beat Pogacar, specially after a busy September as a father of a newborn.

"In the coming weeks, the Nordic rider will focus on his family life and the arrival of his second child. The rest of his schedule remains on hold. If all goes well, he could take part in the Zurich World Championships (29 September) for the first time in his career, before the Italian classics, and in particular the Tour of Lombardy (12 October)."

I don't think a Portuguese website knows more than Maarten Wynants, but you made it sound like it was set in stone, which isn't the case.

He is completely off shape. A TT tailormade for him and he still lost to Wellens. I'm wondering what he has done during these 3 weeks.
Still winning the race quite easily (maybe not if Kelder hadnt crashed). I suppose he's at something like 80%, lol. But tbf, the field is very weak and this Pologne route is perfect for him.

Yeah, field is very weak and his "main opponent" (his teammate) can't stay on his bike. I only see Ulissi beating him and that's a 5% chance.

He tends to become worse after TdF anyways, and with his difficult prep for this year‘s TdF, he even more has difficulties to maintain his shape, I‘d think.

My thoughts on him attending the WC kind of come back to the backlash he seemingly has had from the danish federation earlier this year. He claims he wants to be more involved and this would be an ok year for him to have a go. Next year would be better but doubt he is willing to travel for the WC.
