The team is going together to France. Wellens and Sivakov ended their training yesterday.

Sivakov posted on Instagram saying they finished their high-altitude training camp today.

Narvaez also bids farewell to his training camp in Ecuador. It looks like Narvaez will finally be at the Tour.
I think he has to be the rider to mark Van Aert. What happened to Finestre can't happen to them in the Tour. If Van Aert is ahead, the UAE has to have someone, and Narvaez fits that Van Aert profile.

Interesting 8 days coming up. Recent history shows that if you win the race by a minute or more you go on to win the Tour.

Not today. It was yesterday.

Wellens posted this today in the morning.

Stage 7 is set to be an absolute bloodbath.

Vingegaard will want to make a statement that he is back better than ever.

Pogi must show he is the number 1 climber to strip Visma of their insufferable confidence.

Theres gonna be enough watts generated to power France for a week

Bad day to do a recon. Poor Pogacar.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

There are never bad days to ride. Just alternative training conditions.

 

[Oldman]

Kuss and Jorgenson will be at a higher level than Yates.

Hopefully more than 2 out of those 3 are good if they expect to hit the top 3 steps, IMO. Are both going to Dauphine?

Yes. Visma is bringing their full armada. On the other hand, UAE clearly misses his world class mountain domestiques. Things might become interesting in stage 7.

 

[Cycling111]

Maybe they should've taken one more climber to Dauphiné

This being posted right after a video with Pogacar in a WC jersey and on his TT bike is kinda hilarious.

Herregodts said this a long time ago.

I think nobody wants to show all their cards in Dauphine. It would be foolish to do so.

On the other hand, showing your cards against your main opponent allows you to see where you're lacking on something and try to improve between Dauphiné and Le Tour.

One more climber means Almeida or Yates? And thats not feasible as Almeida needs to get to be leader in Suisse and Yates just did the Giro.

Dauphine team -1 along with Almeida and Yates is the likely tour team I guess. And I think it makes sense as Sky and Visma earlier proved that rouleurs who can climb are the most useful domestiques.

It was posted by someone outside the UAE. This Slovakian Twitter user is the one who tweeted that comment.

Iz works only in case you presume that main opponent will want to fire on all cilinders. I think TJV are smarter than that.

But Pogacar usually fires, so..,
Not that I expect Vingegaard to win CD, but..

 

[Cycling111]

Vineggaard won the Dauphiné. He and Roglic finished 1-2 other year. Visma doesn't hidden anything in the Dauphiné.
