Yeah I know you're right, just tooling around with that..

Wild guess VDP is probably going to Syncrosfera because La Sella golf is just around the corner (then again the weather here at the moment is quite meh so maybe no golf this time)

Regarding Seixas doing the Tour, we have to take into account that he seems to be a real allrounder so it makes sense that he rides a calendar focused on classics, Tour and then more classics and the Worlds at the end of the season.

Plus, Decathlon planned this season around Gall being the Giro leader, Kooij the Tour leader and Riccitello the Vuelta leader. Since Kooij is having health issues and is sprinter, it makes sense to send Seixas to the Tour.

Proper 1 week stage race, E3, GW, AGR, FW

Last year he did AGR after Flandres + PR double and maybe it was a bit too much (he kinda cracked there). FW may still be on the cards. Why aren't Romandie and Suisse proper races? Because you say so? He's gunning for history and Tour and monuments are the way (and Vuelta at some point, not sure if this year).

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To win them is my real test
To train for them is my cause
I will travel across the world
Searching far and wide
Teach riders and fans to understand
The power that's inside my legs

Ash Ketchum did !!!spoiler alert!!! eventually become a Master after 25 years, so Pogimon's still got a lot of time left to achieve everything in, if he too can avoid ageing. That goes for the likes of Seixas and Remco (who like Ash seems to be learning some stuff quite slowly) as well.

Is Romandie the same as PN/TA/Catalunya/Basque? Not in my book, but if you feel that's the same, then go ahead.

They all are part of the 7 one-week races. Pogi wants to win the all.

Other riders waiting for their first win.

I am. He’s missing a lot of great races, because of Vuelta. Which is fine, as long as he rides Vuelta. If he doesn’t I’ll find his total year schedule weak. Not that that matters he can do whatever he wants.

What great races? Spring has 4 major races and he is riding all of them. One week stage races sre nothing compared to monuments so I don't get your point.
Calling weak to this schedule is insane. Something we probably don't see since Kelly?

His spring schedule is weak because he has only two exhausting races - Flanders and Roubaix.
San Remo is a joke with its 250 kms in zone 1.
LBL is his playing ground.
Romandie is also much easier compared to Catalunya, Itzulia or Paris-Nice.
Tour de Suisse is now a 5 days race which will be races on criteriums (meaning the race is also a joke and not exhausting).
He should arrive at the Tour fresh as a cucumber.

Lighter doesn't mean weak.

Points wise Romandie is same as PN, Tirreno aso. 2.WT same uci points that is.. So I would say it just as easy as other week long ones. Teams live and die with uci points so it's just as easy as others.

 

[Netserk]

down under gives more uci points than catalunya , not because its a greater race but because of the thumb on the scale

points are not honest

 

[Lequack]

Can he win the Strade Bianche? In this form why not?
