But after the Tour Pogacar won:

September:
Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec
Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal
World Championships Road Race

October:
Giro dell'Emilia
Il Lombardia

I don't think he decided against the Vuelta because he was cooked. It simply wasn't in his plans. Just as well perhaps.

He didn't win Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec, Bling won that.

He said he didn’t do it because he was tired

We will know in December. I hope he doesn't ride the Giro. I think he can reach Pogacar's ceilling but he can't have his "high base level" so I don't believe he can cruise in the Giro at 80-90% like Pogacar. A full peak Vingegaard vs a full peak Pogacar is all I want to see in the biggest rivalry Cycling has ever witnessed

Four consecutive top2 places in the Tour and counting. They already matched all GTs top2 total of Coppi vs Bartali. This rivalry lacks charisma of the Italian duo but there's still time for more "no balls" and "being afraid" comments or Vingo breaking into Pogi's hotel room searching for the Holy Grail of cycling.

Sorry, I would want to say When...

I figured as much, but I don't really care about when it happens. We also pretty much know what he might ride anyway. The only question is whether RCS's offer was interesting enough for him to (possibly) worsen his chances of winning the Tour/spend less time with his family.

We do? I'd guess he does Tirreno and Catalunya, but I think his schedule from Camino to Tour is quite open.

And my point is that it is quite likely to remain open, in the sense that he won't be racing much as per usual, but we'll see.

Thought the same tbh, PN/TA is usually not preparation for Giro. They did it last year with Cian and ended up bad.

I don't think that was the reason it ended badly. However a TA participation would have implied there was some kind of agreement with RCS.

Where is this coming from?
I can't remember who is the last Giro winner not to start TA in the same year.
Okay, except for Pogacar of course.

Giro-Tour is a heavy schedule. Froome/Dumoulin went for TA in 2018 and got burned. Roglic went for TA in 2023 but he skipped Tour, same for others. Roglic is doing Giro-Tour but skips PN/TA. Same for Pog last year.

Cian's preparation was bad, he was overcooked. I think he would've liked PN more anyway since he hasn't won it yet. And RCS would pay him anyway no matter what, they're in no position to make demands.

I don't think that Froome and Dumoulin would suddenly win the Tour had they done Catalunya instead of TA (as Roglic/Pog).
No, I don't think he'll do the Giro but I don't think it's would be a problem for the Tour if he does Camino and TA/PN before the Giro.

Don't understand this comment, every giro winner from 2013 onwards has done tirreno, with the exception of pogacar
