I see here that Dumo also had a helmet to small in that TDF TT; I guess they tested this in the wind tunnelRare interview with Tadej on french tv:

He discusses Dumoulin’s comments saying that Dumoulin could have finished closer if he had changed bike, that he beat him on all other stages ans that Dumoulin was not in his greatest form last year.
His mum was planning to take him out of cycling because she thought at a certain age the doping starts

I saw it but left it as it indeed sounds quite funny, glad someone noticedSorry, but; Best. Typo. Ever! At least I assume you meant riding. Otherwise, I'm getting a rather interesting mental image.
Not a bad view
That's Col du Mont-Cenis with its artificial lake in the background.Judging by vegetation Pog is at about 2500 m ASL. This must be one of the lakes in Graian Alps, possibly near Nivolet pass. Too easy for him, he should cycle up that mountain.

I really want to see the Cenis-Iseran combination once in a race, that would be awesome.That's Col du Mont-Cenis with its artificial lake in the background.
With finish in Tignes or another ski station in that area? Seems good. I guess Tignes is the only option though.I really want to see the Cenis-Iseran combination once in a race, that would be awesome.
Val d'Isere is also a bigger ski resort, that would be a straight forward downhill finish.With finish in Tignes or another ski station in that area? Seems good. I guess Tignes is the only option though.
I think the more racing is not necessarily bad for Tadej. It seems he really likes competing and of course he will get a lot of support in these slovenian races which will give him a boost for the tour
Tadej is probably peaking for the most important race of the season - the Tour of Slovenia. He may be a bit flat at the Tour.
I believe that is what I heard the medical staff of UAE saying, that his lactic acid was much lower so that explains why he seemingly does not get tired at the end of a grand tour.I think Tadej needs some racing to get fully into his rythm (as opposed to Roglic). The evidence is UAE 2020 and 2021. Ok, he won this year but not in as convincing manner as he could have, had he been in his top form. The we have Tour de l'Ain and Cirterium du Dauphine where he was nowhere near Roglič. The beginning of his Vuelta 2019 campaign was also not very convicing.
Actually, there could be two reasons for that now that I think about it. Either he needs a substatntial warmup before he reaches his top form or it's just attrition from the racing that affects others much more than him. Though if the latter was true, then he woun't be winning so many 1 week stage races because they are too short for others to feel real attrition.
