He should stay in stage-racing mode and do SB, MSR, Ardennes or only LBL as far as one-day races in the spring goes. Then take his pick on a stage-race he likes to do.

Dauphine or Swiss before the Tour.

Stay away from the cobbles next year, as well, would be the best decision imo.

No, he is unique because he is competing everywhere! It is so great to see him in Flanders fighting against MVP.

Yes, it is more probable than not that he will do that.

But I hope you are wrong, I'd love to see he winning the Giro-Tour double again haha

A man can dream.

I think he will try to target monuments and race as little as possible, maybe 12 race days. Something like SB, Tirreno Adriatico, MSR, Harelbeke, Flanders and LBL. One week of vacations and start his heavy training towards the Tour. I think he will attempt Dauphiné in June, another altitude training and he will arrive with 20 race days before the Tour. Perfect!

If Vingo is back to his best next year then Pog doesn't need a Giro in his legs. I think he found this year's Tour easier than he thought it was going to be given the time he put into Vingo uphill.

Vingegaard was better than he ever was . I expect next year to be even easier for Pogacar if he dont crash I expect even more of a stomp is only natural to think.

Seriously doubt Vingegaard has more room to improve(more endurance week 3 but that doesnt change anything he will still get dropped whenever he cant match the watt or FTP)

The gap is just nonsense big and most likely Pogacar will only increase it. He is in a different galaxy as per now than anyone else thats just the reality of it.

If Pogacar races wisely, Vingegaard can't beat him when both are in top shape. This is because both of them are very similar. Vingegaard will need to drop Pogacar to win the Tour. He already did this in the past but if Pogacar "just" race to follow Vingegaard and stomp him in the last km, Vingegaard will not have a chance. The only way for him to win is getting a big advantage in a TT but I think this will not happen.

This Vuelta team looks chaotic. Pogacar will have a great team for classics. Even Novak is going to peak to help Pogacar in WC and Lombardia.
Majka
Novak
Laengen
Bjerg
These 4 are all available for Pogacar in Canada and italian classics.
Vuelta team is a mess, maybe one pure domestique and everyone else will do their own race.
