They have Pogacar for both GTs.Does UAE even have a team to support Pogačar on Giro-Tour double? It's a reasonable team for one GT. But two in a row? Are the guys prepared to do that?

I think the whole thing is a double requires a different enough approach to leave something in the tank.This is indeed what they rely on heavily. Hard to blame them. Still Giro-Tour double could expose the limits to such approach. Or not. I guess we will find out if they are brave of foolish enough to do it.
Yeah but then Roglic also goes to the Giro to be struck by disaster so he can win his Tour.A factor that could influence a Giro-Tour double attempt is the Giro organisation throwing in 3-4 serious stages in Slovenia potentially including an ITT.
Looks like Jumbo will go all-in for the Tour (shocker) :Yeah but then Roglic also goes to the Giro to be struck by disaster so he can win his Tour.
His reign of terror will end at the hands of The Great Juan at La Vuelta in 2022.If next years Jumbo and Ineos with their death line ups going all in for Roglic and Bernal can't put him in difficulty then he can win as much as he wants moving forward.
Nah, Movistar’s new signing of Colombian super talent Rujano will win that Vuelta.His reign of terror will end at the hands of The Great Juan at La Vuelta in 2022.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
They’re smart not wanting to lose money just in case he does race it.Is Pogi riding the vuelta or not? I can't find info on it, but I noticed he you can't bet on him on unibet for the vuelta.
yeah I guess, Roglic is only $2.40They’re smart not wanting to lose money just in case he does race it.
How can I put more laughing faces?
Someone will come in 5 years down the road and we will start b!tching about him!!!If next years Jumbo and Ineos with their death line ups going all in for Roglic and Bernal can't put him in difficulty then he can win as much as he wants moving forward.
I think he won't be riding the Vuelta....Is Pogi riding the vuelta or not? I can't find info on it, but I noticed he you can't bet on him on unibet for the vuelta.
"Tadej you lost 2 minutes in the prologue to Primoz. What happened?"They are throwing a welcoming party for him in his hometown on 13.8. and the Vuelta starts the next day. So I would say he won't be making the Vuelta.
Thinking about this more in-depth. Giro-Tour double attempt will likely became a factor for Pogačar only after he looses the Tour title for the first time…
This is just meaningless stats with tiny sample size and from days that are barely relevant to todays cycling.Little known fact: once a multiple TDF winner loses, they very rarely ever win it again.
