Probably he won't.
He was looking great in 2023 but never really improved.
The stereotypical vertically challenged Belgian gc prospect has been training like a pro since he's 14 and stops improving in his early 20ies, change my mind!

People really learned nothing from Algarve.

This was a perfect stage for Almeida. Not a very difficult climb and he wheelsucked the whole way up while Jonas went on the offensive in the wind.

Jonas will win easily on the tougher stages.
This is not really true though, Almeida did a lot of the chasing. He did get a little help at the end though which is what won him the stage.

Of course there's going to be some overreacting and some truly insane hating on this forum, but Vingegaard really wasn't that strong today and I doubt he'll be much stronger later. Almeida still has to drop him quite significantly though to win this race, which will be difficult.

When was the last time someone caught Vingegaard after he went solo?
It was Almeida doing most of the job catching Vingegaard, it's not like he really followed wheels.

Later? As in the race or the season?

There has been at least one Danish stage win in the race every year since 2019. Would be a shame if this was the year that statistic gets broken.


For selfish reasons, I'd prefer if Skjelmose or Lund took a stage.
Or Charmig, but that's quite unlikely.

Lol, no team. They'll be fine, if their leaders are strong enough, that is. You know, their two guys who are currently leading the GC...

If Jorgenson will be a domestique, then yes, the race is probably over. If they try to maintain some dual leadership, things could get difficult tomorrow or Sunday.

Getting top 2 in GC might prove difficult.

Winning the race will not be difficult. No one is touching Jonas in the GC here unless he crashes.
