If you compare him to Vingegaard, Pogi was better at a younger age because he was actually more professional and didn't spend time at a fish factory. In Pogi's case it was obviously not his age that made him so much better from one year to the next in 2024. It's clearly the new coach.

No. Pogacar wasn´t more professional in theU23s than Vingegaard.
Pogacar's team wasn´t better than Coloquick. In fact, it was a much worse team in UCI ranking.

UAE signed him after the Course de Paix he won. But until then, he hadn't had better professional training or material than Vingegaard, nor a better contract.
That same year Visma signed Vingegaard for 2019.
Both moved to a professional team the same year, although Pogacar was younger, but his amateur career was with a slovenian continental teams.

Podium position is reasonable to expect, for Jonas, beyond that it's anyone's guess. For sure both Visma and Jonas will prepare good. Attrition and fatigue is something they plan to inflict plenty. Likely no other team will do that as much as them.

“Podium position” is a funny way of saying 1st is a win, 2nd a defeat. Pogacar and Vingegaard barring crashes or sickness will again be unreachable for the rest. They have shown this for 4 years now and does not seem like they lost their level quite yet.

Since he is leaving Visma next year, this decision is a bit strange. However, if he had any problem inside Visma, he would be in the Tour.

Tullet deserves more a spot in the Tour than benoot at this point.

Benoot is more complete even if Tullet might be a better climber however this decision is very strange, specially since he is leaving the team. It's not like he couldn't bring his family to Tignes.

Apparently he already did this in the past.

WVA, Campenaerts and Affini are enough outside of the climbs. One more climber like tullet would fit well, but whatever, it is not that important, since the Tour will not be decided by who have the strongest team.
