[Froome]

Adam isn't trained by sola but Pog,vegard s. Laengen,ulissi,novak, sjoerd bax and now almeida comfirmed!

Adam yates improved a lot since he left Ineos. He did podium last year at the Tour. Who is the coach of Adam Yates? He must be a really good coach.

I wouldn't say yates has improved that much but he found consistency.. look at his numbers in jebel hafeet when he was at ineos. He nearly dropped pog on multiple occasions on that climb. I heard him saying he hasn't increased his level that much but uae had a strict nutrition plan where he found the same level doing race after race.

I don't know who trains Adam, I only know that when he wins, Javier Sola publishes stories about him...and he doesn't do it with everyone on the team.

 

[Peyroteo94]

UAE is a super strong team with high human resources. Sola must be one of the best in the world, if not he would never be with Pogacar. We are talking about the face of cycling and the most profitable cyclist in the world.

Is history repeating itself?

• 1981 Hinault wins the Tour.
• 1982 Hinault wins the Tour.
• 1983 Fignon wins the Tour.
• 1984 Fignon wins the Tour.
• 1985 Hinault wins the Giro-Tour double.

• 2020 Pogacar wins the Tour.
• 2021 Pogacar wins the Tour.
• 2022 Vingegaard wins the Tour.
• 2023 Vingegaard wins the Tour.
• 2024 ???

I'm starting to think that Teddy will win the Tour and Giro in his legs won't stop him (unless Vingo comes back in 100% form, which is unlikely).

Only Vingegaard never wins the Tour again and Evenepoel three.

Adam is trained by san milan as of now and sola shares stories whoever wins from the team but congratulates his trainees by mentioning them. As @mou said pog has exposed san milan and a guy with almeidas charater demands the best. I was surprised and curious when i saw him pulling for 5 km on the cari stage and eventually dropping everyone but yates. Has anyone saw almeida showing such displays on back to back mountain days?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Almedia clearly on a different level. He is the perfect GT-rider, so I could easily see him top-3 the Tour like Adam last year.

Maybe the whole podium will be UAE this year

Imagine the luxury of Pogacar cracking and the DS is like, "Never mind, we have the next two or three riders in line to take yellow."

Pogacar: "I'm gone, I'm dead"
DS: "Bota lume, Joao!"

 

[Peyroteo94]

Guys, if Yates and Almeida are better than 99% of the peloton (including guys like Roglic), can you imagine what Pogacar will be? If Pogi is uncontested, can you imagine how much better he is compared to Yates, Ayuso and Almeida? I already said this, Vingegaard must have a magical recovery, if not Tour will be so boring!

My TdF wishes for Pogačar and team:
- No crashes or illnesses
- Team cohesion
- Sufficient rouleur strength

Also, Pogačar to win and Almeida podium. Perhaps a pony, while I'm at it.

At least Tour's route is very well designed in the first weekend. Peloton will be nervous and excited to start the biggest race in the world but there are hard hilly stages to select the peloton and avoid havoc in the last 10 km.

 

[Peyroteo94]

For me UAE is marking stage 2 to nuke San Luca for Pogacar (Yates is very well suited and will probably destroy other GC favourites). Only peak Roglic will probably follow him (don't know about Vingegaard).

 

[Jack_89]

don't underestimate the first stage. the last four climbs are in succession, without flats and are demanding. it's a stage where the team can make the difference and seeing the condition of Yates and Almedia... watch out. if someone is not having a good day he risks big

Not selective enough and very far from the finish (the last climb).

They may set it up for Pogacar to try to attack. Otherwise they can probably try to control it for a 20-25 man group sprint with Pog

I mean a pony is good and all, but what are they going to do with it? Or will it be a mascot and every time they win a stage it comes to the finish line and takes the winner to the podium for celebration? Details are important to success, so Pony motivation to break the wings of love.

It‘s really the best stage for Remco to really make a Roglič or a Vingegaard suffer, question is if Quickstep DS have the balls to make it happen on Stage 1

Roglic will not suffer in this type of stage. Roglic will have a hard time in week 3, specially in stage 20.

How in the world do you come to the conclusion that Remco can make Roglic suffer on this kind of stage?

 

[Peyroteo94]

Specially after seeing Remco's level in Dauphiné.

AhaahgfshhGgaagha Remco bad and fat!

How would this guy be tough to follow for Roglič in the medium mountains???
