It's wishful thinking to think everyone will improve for the Tour (Vingegaard, Remco, Roglic), except Pogacar.
No one is at 100% in Dauphiné, Pogacar wasn't either.
Everyone says he's been doing classics this year, but they forget that last year he was doing the Giro in May, and this year he was already training for the Tour in May.He is doing specific training for the Tour right now. He will improve until the Tour, I don't have any doubt about that.

Diretor da UAE Emirates descreve treinos finais de Tadej Pogacar, "foco em trabalho específico, como treinos intervalados"
Na véspera do Tour de France, Joxean Fernández “Matxin”, diretor geral da UAE Team Emirates – XRG, concedeu uma entrevista ao canal espanhol El Farolillo Rojogirodociclismo.com.br
Absolutely. The idea that the giro is a good training for the tour (which I've heard everywhere) is one of the most stupid things I've heard. Even when winning the giro as easily as pog did you can't control and plan your efforts, can't do intervals, heat training... This year his tour preparation is better than last year, I really believe he will make another step compared to tdf 24Everyone says he's been doing classics this year, but they forget that last year he was doing the Giro in May, and this year he was already training for the Tour in May.
Even if he won the Giro easily, the Giro is not a training for the Tour.
He might be able to keep on Almeida's train a little longer.Unlike in the past Vingo’s June form is fully exposed. Let’s see what adding 10% in 4 weeks looks like
As are all of them. Equilibrium will be the result, less the surprises every bump in the road seems to deal the favorites.He is doing specific training for the Tour right now. He will improve until the Tour, I don't have any doubt about that.

I don't believe Almeida will drop everyone bar Pogi and Vingo). He won't give everything to leadout PogacarHe might be able to keep on Almeida's train a little longer.
Ayuso refused to work, it's different.If he's not going to give his all and think about his position, he shouldn't go, like Ayuso.
He can't go with that mindset because if he's needed, it could create an uncomfortable situation for his leader.
