I just can't believe Tadej would skip Vuelta. Only "real opponent" would be Primoz. Visma is going after stage wins, RB like said with Roglic and that is it.

Maybe it's not a terrible idea. Many people here in Slovenia already hate him for doing Suisse, even tho Roglic does NOT have it on his schedule and he announced it first. Personally I'd say f them and do whatever I want to do

Can you imagine a furious attack by UAE train from Capo Berta?

It'd be so good.
They should do something, and definitely do better, make it (Berta+first part of Cipressa) harder than in 2025.
The issue is that between Capo Berta and Cipressa there are, what, 17km?
So, not easy.

Thankfully I'm not the one in charge of figuring it out.

They have trouble being in front near Cipressa, I don't believe they can nuke Berta, pull hard the entire flat between and nuke Cipressa again. Or if they take it easy on the flat after Berta, they achieved even worse situation because doms will be tired before Cipressa and positioning will be even worse

I can just look at Merckx ‘72 season and see it was better
I can also have a look at Francesco Moser's curriculum and see that it was not better than Pogacar's.

Yet...
