He is really focused. He will probably fly in March but I am wondering if he is really starting this early his season in order to target the Giro-Tour.

He also finished his season really early. If he starts his preparation in, say, december he'd have 4 months off the bike and without knowing much about training, that's a lot(?).
Also, he probably needs to build a really strong base after the injuries.
 
The only explanation I can think of regarding the clothes is that whoever made that post was able to deduct that the grey logo you can see part of on the pocket is from a sponsor.
But if you get free clothes, why not use it?
Free clothes are the best! Also, if you go to a garden center and have to haul some soil home for the garden chances are you're probably gonna get a little dirty. So the clothes are perfectly fine and functional.
 
What's wrong with the outfit?
He's clearly missing the bespoke plaid flannel from the Carhartt collection, little boy's section. Their sizing is based on the US Midwest model so he needs to shop the afformentioned petite profile. Or go to Ben Sherman in London and get some plaid and satisfy the sartorial snobs from that quarter.

He looks like every middle school kid in our Valley except they can wear t-shirts down to 20 degrees F everyday. Tough little sh*ts.

I'm not even familiar with these brands being I like to raid my old dad's closet for free clothes he no longer wears, are they some kind of overpriced hipster stuff?

Would be fun to know what Vingo went to the garden center for at any rate, hopefully he wasn't hiding a spear for the koi in his coat. 🤣
 
An interview with danish TV2:

Maybe the Giro can be a good preparation if the route is light like last year, and the competition is weak, but if Roglic or Remco go to the Giro as a main target he needs to be more close to 100% than 85%.
