I need to know what @mou thinks about pogis fashion sense. @mou strikes me as a sharp dress man who drives a Mercedes and kills people for a living
A certain Austrian liked the Mercedes - plenty of room for your underlings and for waving to the masses -

@mou responds to the topic of an Vingo do the double

“Difference between Pogi Giro-Tour and potentially Vini Giro-Tour is that Pog has one more gear and team.
UAE can send such a team that Vini will never have Giro as a training camp as some say like Pog had.
Vini can win the Giro,but he will work hard for it if he is not at 100%”

I don't know. Valter-Tullett-Uijtdebroeks-Kruijswijk-Kelderman doesn't sound like a worse team than Laengen-Novak-Grosshartner-Majka to me.

And then Visma still have their A team for the Tour with DVB-Laporte-Benoot-WVA-Jorgenson-Yates-Kuss.

I mean, Visma are also stacked enough to send a strong team to the Giro and make it a training camp. Okay, depending on competition of course.

Visma is stronger than UAE. Simon Yates has a higher ceilling than Adam. In fact I am expecting Simon to get back his 2018 level in Visma. If we add Matteo and a good Kuss, UAE is gonna be in troubles.

Agreed. Almeida was somewhat helpful but despite finishing high on the one stage that another team (Visma) set the pace he was dropped early.
I can see situations where Vingegaard has Kuss, S. Yates and Jorgenson while Pogacar only has Adam. Of course, Almeida will probably finish 4th or something but that doesn't help.

Of course it is all about Pogacar vs Vingegaard. Vingegaard can have Yates, Kuss, Matteo in a mountain and Pogacar being isolated that doesn't matter, Pogacar can still drop Vingegaard and no one will help Vingegaard.

Almeida dropping early helped Pogacar pull an uno reverse on Vingegaard. Visma were cocky af till Pogacar attacked. Both teams should be in similar shape though but Visma has the better all arounders, it’d just be what stages they pick out.
