Nah. Vingegaard wasn't doing 6,5 w/kg.

7.2 w/kg are in 60 kg standard weight.

In 65 kg standard weight, he did 7/7.1 w/kg.

Pog at the moment is wondering how he lost 2 tdfs seeing his level turnaround since last year. I think he has made an even better leap this year. Imo the gap to jonas this year will be even bigger unfortunately for the audience

Vingegaard is a monster GC rider. He deserved those Tours.

Pogacar can be 80 kilos doing 5 W/KG. It doesn't matter. What matters is that he did almost 1900 VAM at insane speed on 7.1 %. This is unheard of.

Who will be the launcher for Pogacar at the Tour or he will attack from a regular hard pace from Almeida? Anyone knows where is Yates?

It was an irregular climb. But the Tour will show how strong is Pogacar. He wasn't riding at his full power in the Dauphiné.

I think Almeida will be his last man.

It will probably be Vingegaard.

Pogi can launch out of any of his 3 -4 climbing doms and leave Almeida to *** wirh the head of Vingo.

In the first week punchy stages, Narvaez
In the big mountains, Almeida/Yates (never count out Yates but it should be mainly Almeida)

Also Wellens in the punchy stages.

Think Yates to be last man for aggressive attacks and Almeida for strong tempo last man in situations where they are just looking to control rather than demolish.

 

[AlpRaid]

while Almeida is impressive, the field he is dealing with at TdS is not.

I think he will be last man for pog tho (if he needs it that is) otherwise he will be able to ride his own race (kind of like last year) for 3rd or 4th.
