It's completing hit GT set.

Yes, but he wouldn't care about it if he could win TDF.

Maybe , but he probably doesn't get so many more opportunities to win the Giro.

I didn't say he shouldn't race Giro, it's wise choice. But for me it's telling that Visma gave up on the battle with Pogi. TDF means 100 times more for them and if they thought they can win Tour they would focus on it.

Visma has won at least one GT every year, so they wants to win one this season too. They don't have any other rider that can win so...

Winning the Tour even once trumps Evenepoel's entire palmares. The Tour is cycling's holy grail.

That doesn't necessarily mean it's the best or most entertaining race. The final of the World Cup in football often isn't very entertaining either. But it's the one everybody wants to win.

Not convinced they do thesedays, for sure if you get to the final, but its more club than country now. and the fact you only get maybe 3 or 4 goes in your whole career if you are lucky, vs 10 at your peak for a TdF, 15 over a long career.

Champions league final is where its at for footballers
