In the talk referenced above Nils Politt says that there were four more UAE team riders with positive PCR-Test besides Ayuso during the Tour de France (31:08). That was a new piece of information and really interesting.

Yates and Wellens for sure. I think Soler was the other one.

Teddy had another one, which accelerated his evolution for PdB and Isola.

From what I heard everyone but Almeida and Pogačar tested positive.

Pogacar testing postive for covid 10 days before the tour was probably the best that could happen.

Yes, it was. Riders should get covid (or get a vaccine) before a big competition like a GT.

How about getting a vaccine and then being unable to train properly for a week and feel like ***? Surely a good way to prepare for the Tour.

I'd assume that possible adverse effects lessen the more times you've been infected or vaccinated previously.

Maybe, I'd had gotten my 1st vaccine into corona into a 2nd vaccine when I felt like that. 1 week of absolute dirt and I felt it for at least a month, general feeling of tiredness and couldn't really train like I usually do at all. So safe to say I'd rather get the actual virus than get another vaccine, but that probably varies a ton from person to person. In Pog's case I think getting corona maybe had him not training for a day or so, so nothing too major at all and probably better than to get a new vaccine.

I know that is shady clinic conversation, but what if to get infected in winter, saved blood bags full of antibodes and use them prior GT?

Yesterday's TT? Too flat, better for pure TT specialists. I would expect an in-form Tadej to lose 25-30 seconds to Remco yesterday (which would still be a respectable performance OFC).
Its just getting started with the new program is the word in the peloton so hold on tight. He is the most rare case of specimen cycling have ever seen. Which goes without saying with his new climbing level along with the pure power on all terrain.

On the flip side Visma thought they had Pogacar right where they wanted him because of that, till he destroyed them on stage 15.
