Worlds 2027 should be a major career goal for Vingegaard. He very likely won't get as good a chance at wearing the rainbow bands ever again - so I think getting some practice in at racing worlds would probably be a good idea. First off, it's not a waste of time, because he'd be an asset to the Danish team, but also for him personally. He'll have to go to Montreal now (if he wants to win in 2027), but it's not like he's super likely to win there either.
Personally I've just desperately wanted to see him going for one day races ever since he originally said he'd do the Klasikoa after winning the Tour the first time. And he's been talking about it periodically since then.
