Vuelta will be stacked this year GC-wise, it seems. Really looking forward to that one.He's actually doing the Tour and Vuelta double this year.

Pay a visit to the practitioner...Back to his best Remco, Roglic after losing Tour again, confident Pogacar after winning said Tour, upgraded 1-week A. Yates to 3-week A.Yates, and ofcourse 97 years old Valverde in his prime. I think I jizzed a little bit just thinking about that Vuelta.
There's one or two who have not been firing on all cylinders yet but are prepping for the Tour who may just come alive when it matters most, and I ain't talking about the Dawg.
Three months is a long time in cycling.Is he on trajectory to one of the best seasons in recent times? So far winning UAE Tour, Tireno-Adriatico, now LBL. With no crashes (or wrongly timed mechanical) in TDF, I just can't see him lose it. Then OI and Vuelta. He has proven to have impecable recovery and will be there at Vuelta (take last year Roglics win, so it's possible).
I know I am overreaching, but still. Unbelievable and at that age.
Only 3 GT’s?...I think somebody should start a thread "Will Pogačar win all 3 GTs and all 5 monuments till 2024?"
Evenepoel still has to prove a lot compared to Tadej, def in grand toursI have to admit that he is getting pretty close to Evenepoel now.
Could be of course, but seeing 2019 and 2020, where did he get tired? Ok he lost a bit of time here and there but he is so consistent it is scary...I may get 10 bells knocked out of me for this comment, but I've a feeling he may tire a bit towards the end of the Tour. He been going full pelt more or less since the UAE and still going strong.

Tour of Slovenia now = the 4th Grand TourOnly 3 GT’s?...
His win today was impressive. I know he was very eager to show something today but still...
22 years old....
His position in the sprint was very smart and overall he also seems to stay (relatively) calm during the race.
His next goal will be the tour of slovenia, because he participated there 3 times and did not get on the podium yet...#goodluckfortherest
He'll probably be a solid domestique for Ulissi there.Tour of Slovenia now = the 4th Grand Tour
One is Geraint, who is the other?
Mas?
you cannot be serious.

He was top 5 in 3 of his last 4 grand tours and in the other he got ill. In the TDF last year he came in furthest from top form of all the GC contenders and still managed 5th place, if hadn't come out of lockdown in such poor condition he would have ended 3rd.
but he will get crushed in the ITTs. simply no way is he on par with pog, rog, G... carapaz also likely to ship major time in the ITTs...
besides it's all moot. pog will crush all.
You're kidding right? Pogi won the tour, he's the best gc rider in the world, evenepoel needs to prove what is capable of in grand tours.I have to admit that he is getting pretty close to Evenepoel now.
