Why isn't this called 'The Lennard Kamna Is The New Andreas Kloden Thread'?

I told you he was the new Kloden.
He is about to go one better than Kloden
Kämna shows an impressing balance of hardness between flat and mountain (including ITT). There may be a few percent missing for the absolute top on the mountain though.
I was really impressed how he crossed the finish line with Tom Dumoulin during the final stage of the Dauphine and that he came in eighth overall
the day just after his stage win.
In his stage win he was also able to leave Alaphilippe and Kwiatkowski behind. The reigning Giro winner made the same experience today as well as Alaphillipe again. That is already strong.
I would be very happy to see Kämna as team captain on a week-long stage race like Paris-Nice or even at the Vuelta next year. It's time for him, I guess.
I hope that Kamna will mentally cope with GC leadership, compared to the freedom he now has. He had some kind of burnout a couple of years ago, which wasn't only physically.Denk said yesterday they see him as a GC rider. They will send him as captain to the Giro or Vuelta first, maybe already next year.
Where did you read it? Prosopagnosia is a more common condition than most people think but I've never heard of a rider having it.So... apparently he has an issue with recognising faces...

No Tour for Kämna. He has mental problems again. He just is not built for this. He is not stupid and simple minded enough to live the life of a pro cyclist. He should call it quits and move on.

Has it been indicated anywhere that this is mental? Because the last race looked like simply not fit, presumably indeed for health reasons.
