He seems to drive to most races that he can so he probably likes the idea he can just go home for a few days before the tour easily and not worry. He did say in an interview that he was going home for a few days before.
Has anyone else noticed who is in Isola? So far I've seen Pog, Sivakov, Narvaez, Soler and Urska but I don't think she will be making the final line up /s

He ain't ready for the New gen of Poggenheimer.
In 2024 Pogi was only a few months in with Sola. Now he is finally primed to display his full power.
2025 - 2028 is peak Pogacar time.

Why does it matter where he trains altitude? Reckon Pogacar and UAE know what they are doing.

Yup. I hope he wins the Vuelta and tries to win MSR and PR again next year.

Nobody. Almeida is so strong right now, like wtf

Yup, this is what I was trying to say. It is very possible to see Almeida leading out Pogacar and only Vingegaard there.

Mou has been predicting podium at tour for Almeida for months now
The only chance of that happening is if Pogacar is able to make lots of long range attacks and doesn't require Almeida to pull the group.
And even then, Almeida would have to be stronger than everybody other than Vingegaard, which is not likely to happen (even though it might be possible).

It could happen if the final 3-4 selection includes a working almeida

No. Almeida just needs to drop Evenepoel in the mountains while working to Pogacar.
I don't think Almeida is stronger than Remco or Roglic head to head if all are in TDF shape.
And if Almeida has to work hard, there are a few guys that will give him a run for his money if they are in form and if they are GC focused.
Carapaz, Lipowitz, Carlos Rodriguez, Enric Mas, Simon Yates, Gaudu, Buitrago, Lenny Martinez....
A lot has to go his way... even more than last year's TDF.

I agree with you when you talk about Remco and Roglic. All other riders you mentioned have no chance of finishing in front of Almeida (bar Lipowitz).

Pogacar needed these. They made him so much stronger.
But i have to admit, i didn't think he could improve this much.
2023 Tour Pogi is still my favourite Pogi. Col de la Loze hurt to watch, but he was so much fun in that Tour. Watching that, and then the Glasgow world champs a few weeks later, really made me a fan.
When you have the time watch and listen to the whole podcast of Tom Danielson.
He brings several interesting topics.
Here are some of them:
15:15 - Jonas has the level and he's raising it according to what he sees from Pogacar. The problem is that Pogacar has more than what he shows.
17:00 - He talks about the TT
32:08 - Tadej holding back on Stage 7
He talks about other things as well so I suggest you listen to the whole show.
The hysterical theatre coming from the commentator was clearly not in synch with the action. Jonas left the group at bend, clogged with other riders and motos that Tadej had to dodge. Looked like he gave up 20 seconds just getting out of the clusterf*k. Jonas definitely was on a ride but wasn't a mano y mano punchfest with Pogi falling asleep in the bunch. Jonas got the strategic drop on him.

Pogacar showed his true level on Combloux. Unfortunately for Jonas the gap is too big right now and I think the gap will not close at all.

I agree Tadej looked way too at ease. If we had the same result but with a more exhausted looking Pogacar I wouldnt be so sure.
