Never figured you an Evenepoel fanboy, Rick.This pattern basically holds for a lot of other riders as well. Nobody holds the same level in the Vuelta if they're flying to the moon in July

"Which one is the blue checkmark?"He's on Twitter now. When I saw he was only following one account, I was sure it was Pogačar's.
Yeah, he was clearly just waiting for the blue bird to disappear."Which one is the blue checkmark?"
That may all very well be true, but it's not the point. Vingegaard can do well when he's not in absolute top form, that's all I'm arguing. Of course he won't have his Tour form, but does he really need to without Pogacar? And given that recovery is his main strength, he should be reasonably ready in a month.Except it's not just about peaking, it's also about recovery and fatigue after a TDF which his own team tried to make as hard as possible for him to crack the competition. Assuming he will not be in his best form at the Vuelta has little to do with which rider you cheer for, rather common sense. Also, why would one assume the riders he beat in Itzulia were closer to their peak than Vingegaard? Yet now he will come up against riders who are not "equally" prepared, but potentially better. And who are, with all due respect, a few levels above the competition he beat in Itzulia. And i'm not just talking about one guy specifically.
Isn't Ben Stiller a buddy of Lance Armstrong? He's probably quite into cycling. Has to be, because otherwise as an American he'd have no idea who Jonas Vingegaard is.https://cyclinguptodate.com/cycling...he-tour-de-france-champion-makes-his-priority
"Vingegaard visits a care home for the elderly on Thursday, July 27th, in his hometown of Glyngore with sources close the 26-year-old telling Belgian journalist Jonas Creteur that "It's his highest priority to pay a visit there, because he knows that it means something to the elderly, and it means something to him."
Good intentions, but it sounds a bit strange, and even more so that a Hollywood movie actor tweets about it.
Actors strike, maybe the actors are bored atm.Good intentions, but it sounds a bit strange, and even more so that a Hollywood movie actor tweets about it.

I guess we'll know the answer to that soon enough.Of course he won't have his Tour form, but does he really need to without Pogacar?

If this is reaching Hollywood folks, let's make a comedy out of it.
Ben Stiller's Zoolander as Pogi Boy and Macaulay Culkin as Vingo. Schwarzenneger as Van Aert and Patrick Stewart as Gianetti.
Just imagining Van Aert's Schwarzenegger dropping in Joux Plane echoing "I'll be back" to finish off with Majka.
Of course it couldn't be a '20s hollywood flick without Timothée Chalamet as Remco.
What sounds strange about it? That he did this or that they reported on it?
That Stiller knows this is a surprise but maybe he still hangs out with Tour contenders sometimes and knows ***.
Is Ben Stiller in the Circle of Trust?If you've seen Meet the Parents, you'll know Stiller's father-in-law Robert de Niro is a retired CIA operative. So sure, he knows stuff.
I forget, what was Stiller's character named again?If you've seen Meet the Parents, you'll know Stiller's father-in-law Robert de Niro is a retired CIA operative. So sure, he knows stuff.

He's likely devastated by the criticism on the cyclingnews forums, but he'll have to console himself with the wee bit of support from the people of Denmark.Denmark is really starting to rival Belgium in terms of cycling popularity. I wouldn't expect the crowd to be this big after his second Tour win.
That's not even remotely Van Baarle's fault.Pogačar was definitely trying to pronounce it here:
do they have room for him in a 4-men team, though? I guess Pedersen, Bjerg and maybe Skjelmose (depending on his program) are more or less fixed?He wants to ride the Olympics next year. Riding in the "City of Love" will make him unbeatable.
