We are all praising UAE but there is a decent chance than both Yates and Almeida are getting too hot too soon. We are 4 weeks away from the first real test in the Tour.

 

[Elos Anjos]

I don't believe Almeida and Yates are too hot. They had a very mild season so far.

Why they are too hot? Just because they beat skjlemose by 5/10 s?

Not just this stage but both of them have been one step above everyone in Suisse.

 

[Froome]

Not just this stage but both of them have been one step above everyone in Suisse.

Yeah, but it's quite normal right? They have been better climbers in the last years than Bernal and Skjlemose.

Both on the podium of a GT and other races last season. Yates winning a couple.

Both started slow this season for various reasons.

Just looking like they are hitting great form right on time.

Looking at the level of Yates and Almeida it will be hilarious to see the forum go into meltdown when Pogi pushes higher watts than peak Pantani in July.

I think so, however they look incredibly sharp and look more convincing than Roglic and this is kinda of strange to me and a little bit of concern since Yates and Almeida are a lot weaker than Pogacar. If Roglic isn't better than Yates and Almeida in the Tour, this Tour will not have a story unless Vingegaard has a magical recovery.

I think they'll be fine. Last year at the Dauphine, Yates was also best of the rest behind Vingegaard and he was fine at the Tour.

He doesn't need a magical recovery. Today stef crass who had a worse injury on the same crash with jonas, finished with gc group of narvaez and bilbao in tour of slovenia. I believe jumbo were playing the kg game with the media. good news for jonas fans🤗

Just like Pogacar didn't had a worse injury than Vingegaard last year, so he didn't needed a magical recovery.

I could see uae with the top 4 positions in GC

Mate relax, either way u put it u are going to be witnessing this summer the most stacked gc competition of 21st century being dominated by an alien dropping in the 21st century. Enjoy it cause u are lucky to be part of it🤝

Too harsh on jonas and primoz. Surprise package should be almeida, i have never seen him this good

But then you look at Remco's recovery and those fans come back to Earth.

 

[Cookster15]

Well at least this means the team strength tables will likely be turned on Visma. At the last two Tours Vingegaard had a virtual armchair ride behind his teammates whilst Pogacar blew himself up. Interesting to see how Pog rides behind a super strong team. But Pogacar did seem to curtail his instincts on several stages at the Giro with the double in mind.

Well, tbh remco best level could be riding with Rodriguez. There are leagues between him and jonas.

Also sharing Adam victories, so we can assume he train him too. There was doubts about it in this forum...

Yes, I just wanted to highlight the difference with his highest level...

 

[Peyroteo94]

Yates and Almeida don't like rock, scissors, paper. Only Pogi is able to gamble with that

They are practicing for TDF. There won't be any rock, scissors, paper there as they know who the captain is
