I don't know how long Evenepoel was back training then, but I think it was longer than Vingegaard.
Basically it sounds like at best he can do a single block of training at intensity before the TdF.

Probably he will go to Switzerland very soon and then Tignes.
The second block of training at intensity will be the first 2 weeks of the Tour.
Maybe he will start the Tour, in the same shape he started the Vuelta 2023.

How much time does he lose getting the hard miles in on climbs like San Luca or Galibier?

Enough to be out of contention for the win.
Every indication is basically he's expected to have less quality training than when he lines up to friggin Gran Camino in February

This. UAE is too scared of Vingegaard to let him build his shape throughout the Tour so fireworks are expected already in stage 1 if Vingegaard is in the race.

" every day it's going in the direction of maybe doing some normal training again in just a matter of time."
That's a pretty carefully parsed statement right there.

Depends on the shape he starts the Tour.
If he starts the Tour in the shape of the Vuelta 2023 and improves until the third week like a lot of riders did in the past, he have a chance of winning the Tour, and i don't expect him to lose that much time in the first two weeks(i don't believe he loses time on Galibier).
If he gets worse, during the Tour, better to get out of race and going to the Vuelta.
I expect that Visma doesn't mess up, and just let him go to the Tour, if he can go in a acceptable shape (like the Vuelta last year). If can't fight for the GC better not put him in the race and focus on the Vuelta.

After reading that those quotes are almost 2 weeks old. How do you know that he is still not training normally today?
It sounded to me like he was only days away from normal training and that was almost 2 weeks ago. For all we know he could already be in Switzerland and training normally. His coach said it himself. "We know these guys are mentally really tough but also can recover really fast. At the time of crashing these guys are already really fit, they're not the average athlete."

Possibly. Not necessarily predictable which is why no doctor suggested I ride my indoor trainer excessively while recovering from surgery involving surgery around nerve repairs, grafted tendons and arteries. The concern for impact on that healing surpassed any possible gain and the prescription was almost always low level steroids and rest. The risk for setback was too high. Higher levels of steroids to alleviate painful impact on nerves and implants were used with no-load mobilization.
That said; emphasis on lower level aerobic activity (indoor trainer) was tolerated as an inflammation reducer and encouraged range of motion if it was an issue. Being a stupid cyclist helped being motivated to try harder and ignore minor discomfort. Nerve pain, not so much.

I was just trying to point out that we don't really know anything because of the lack of recent updates. A lot can happen in two weeks.

Those TV guys were obviously completely clueless as to how he was looking. He was out on a very easy stroll, you could literally see that he wasn't pushing hard in the pedals, yet they were yapping about how fast and strong he looked...

Too many conflicting messages in this thread now. Should I be listening to Air Supply's All Out of Love, or Higher Love by Steve Winwood? Or Mr. Roboto? Or Land of Confusion? (I haven't listened to any new music since the mid 1980's, and I wasn't even alive then)

Visma also denied the report of Marca about Vingegaard leaving the hospital, and a couple hours later he really left the hospital.It wouldn't fit much with what his coach was saying, so it may have been fake news or a confusion with some other Visma cyclist who has some similarity I guess

It’s not Marcas own sources though. It ses reported here - https://www.estadiodeportivo.com/polideportivo/jumbo-visma-confirma-vingegaard-20240516-452106.html
And theh even got the name wrong. Vingegaard was photographed Wednesday in Denmark. I doubt he traveled to altitude the day after.
