I really don't see where on this course Remco should be better than Tadej. Even on 3-5% Remco shouldn't be stronger and on descent absolutely not. And after 4 times up and down Pogacar should be even stronger.
Those climbs in Nice are tougher. Specialists lose a lot of capacity in stage 21
Do we have any forum members who've been to the area?

They are but Remco never showed dominance in hilly TTs like this one.Those climbs in Nice are tougher. Specialists lose a lot of capacity in stage 21

What do you want to know? I haven’t been but the road is perfectly new, the course is not technical, but it’s still hard. Not like Nice at all, easier, but hard enough that Pogacar has a higher chance of winning than Evenepoel.Do we have any forum members who've been to the area?

Pogacar lost very little time to Remco on very fast TTs in the last two Tours. If he's in top form then he's favoured on 5% gradients (provided it's not a bump on a road but a few kilometers of climbing).

So he wasn't the mastermind behind it after all?
As for some light reading, before the race starts:
Vrnitev Juliana Alaphilippa, Matej Mohorič peti
Julian Alaphilippe je na VN Quebeca premagal vso konkurenco na čelu s Tadejem Pogačarjem, ki se v zadnjem krogu vendarle ni vmešal v boj za zmago in je končal 29. Odlično je dirkal Matej Mohorič in tako kot pred dvema letoma osvojil peto mesto.

He never was. I'm pretty sure this is all about Gianetti.So he wasn't the mastermind behind it after all?

I'm very curious to know what role Yates will have today.
Politt, Wellens, Sivakov and McNulty will rip the race in the first 190 km, then it's all about Narcaez and Yates. But with this team, I think Yates will not be necessary.

Hard to say as we don't have enough insight plus some sports collectives tend to operate in such way, to have a scapegoat. I guess as a reminder.
To work for Pogi.

What type of work, UAE brought a "TdF team" to these canadian classics.
Due to road construction there is now one semi hill involved, compared to three bumps. I guess they will drill it over there. So i guess the answer is they brought a big drill.

Gianetti tried to prevent Teddy from racing PR and look what happened. He didn't want to be fired so he had no choice but to obey the real boss of the team.
I'm not so sure he wasn't but it seems Ayuso simply wanted this change to have a team for himself.

I'm not watching yet so I don't know what happened to Novak but it's more than two weeks till WCRR so what matters is that he's at least decent by then, not now.
EDIT: My bad I thought he was at Canada but I just realized he's at Vuelta lol.

He's never been in top shape in this race. I wouldn't make a big drama about it.

Teddy looked good until he decided to slow down and give others (i.e. Sivakov) a chance. What a generous guy! Sunday will be different though.
