If you’re Pog and you’ve acheived what you have it is natural you want to focus on MSR and Roubaix - it keeps the motivation. Going for the Tour is also a given for the next couple of years- maybe he will give the Tour a miss in 2028 if he wants to focus on LA depending on parcours.

I don’t see the Vuelta in the next couple of years. The worlds are a big objective and they suit him for the next 2 years. After that they probably won’t suit him for the rest of his careeer.

I was listening to the Lanterne Rouge podcast and they were hypothesising about what he might do next year. They reckoned he'd have done the Vuelta this year if he'd come out of the Tour the way he did in 2024 and I think they're probably right. Last year I think he'd have gone for it if it hadn't been for the internal politics of the team. So I don't think it's impossible that the Vuelta is on his schedule again next year, then it will depend on how the Tour goes.
