Wout is gonna go full destruction mode in July. Such uplifting news!!

Cant wait

Yeah, them altitude camps are going to be legendary.

He's selling his altitude tent from home. All in for the camps.

You really think he's going to skip the Giro into skipping the Tour with Vingegaard with almsot full certainty not operating at 100% and most likely as of right now not even riding the race?

Yes.

Het eerste deel van zijn mogelijke Tour-voorbereiding wordt al sowieso geschrapt. Zeeman: “De hoogtestage op de Sierra Nevada vanaf 6 mei mist Jonas al zeker. Als hij al naar de Tour gaat, zullen we het via een andere route moeten doen. Lukt het niet, moeten we met een ander scenario komen.”

Een van die scenario’s is dat Van Aert toch de Tour zou rijden, maar daar staat hij zelf niet voor te springen. Hij wil in juli op hoogtestage om de Spelen voor te bereiden.

He rides an XC bike with aero road wheels wtf

That's a great bike to help him continue his recovery!

Im too lazy to even translate that, but I'll believe it when I see it

In short, he doesn't want to ride the Tour to prepare for the OG.
For some browsers, there is a handy add-on that translates text you selected in a pop-up on any website, into the language of your choice. So you don't have to copy/paste it into another translation website.

 

[Berniece]

Yes.

It's a bit silly that he thinks he can't ride the Tour as a preparation, when you see how well that worked for MVDP last year.

Yes, but VLAB maybe don't want to waste a TdF space for WVA.

Here we go again; Van Aert signaling he's Belgian number 1. It'll end up like Leuven and Ala takes a surprise gold for France.

Even though Vanthourenhout is a big WVA fan, he won't make that mistake again. Don't believe he'll make WVA the sole leader

If Wout can even ride then, the green jersey would be a great back up plan for the team and Wout

 

[Oldermanish]

Wva doing 220w at what is some people's resting heart rate.

Not to diss his recovery but my wife's unusually low heart rate max and natural power provides weird numbers like this. Good to see him doing it now!

 

[Boes]

Can't imagine him not riding the tour now. Especially if Vingegaard's not going. That means he probably woun't have to domistique anything and can pick a few days to go for stages and use the rest to prepare for OG.

Exactly my point. In fact I'd be very, very disappointed if he doesn't race if Vingegaard doesnt. I completely understand him not wanting to bury himself again and be *** on for having goals himself along the way as well, but now that Jonas may be out of the picture and Wout not able to ride in Italy, it makes no sense for me to skip TdF.

Indeed, we don’t want you skipping the TdF
