I would not be the least surprised if he shows up 5-10% stronger than June

He lost 9 s/km in Combloux. He needs to improve a lot in 15 days (last week is recovery for the Tour).

No one is at 100% in Dauphiné. Pogacar wouldn't be at his best either.

Even if he was he wasn't riding at 100%.

He was cruising on Valmeinier.

That's not true. If the stage is easier, Vingegaard is fresher to reduce time gaps. At this point, Vingegaard has no weapons against Pogacar.

If its true or not, I doubt it too. But its certainly - judging by all inteviews and actions in races - the gameplan of Visma. Make the race hard, win on stamina and recovery.

Visma's gameplan is pure BS. They always talk like they have a plan but they are clueless. They just ride hard and pray for Vingegaard to be stronger. Unfortunately for them, this won't happen.

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Visma can already start hiding in their shelters, and they better hide deep because Pogi is coming with some bunker busters.

I hope for their sake Visma have more than that in mind? Knowing what Pogacar did in 2024 (Giro-Tour-Worlds-GdL) Vingegaard does not have any advantage in stamina and recovery.

At risk of sounding smug, any chance uae lets Vingo go stage hunting?

Maybe if he is 15 minutes behind and it is the last few stages

40? Pog, Jonas and a few of their respective domestiques, Rogla & Remco without.

I feel like Lipo might very well come 4th(if not 3rd) in the Tour, question is if Roglic will be there to support him.

So what should they do? Send someone to break his legs?
