4th, behind Pog, MvdP and WvA, not bad.
And because of his unfortunate events, it's not like he had to beat any tier 1 riders today. Visma also did well with the team tactics. Let's see how he does against MvdP&Lidl on RVV, no doubt he was very strong today.

Well he is certainly surprising in the week long races. The dude is huge compared to some of the riders, but climbs pretty dang well.
None-clinic comment - he is ridiculously aero in the TT! (I am jealous)

Is he? Cause with how he's climbing and how tall he is I'd expect a better TT if he was that aero

I think given his height and broad shoulders he is doing pretty amazing TTs. He seems to be checking off the boxes fairly well this year.
As has been noted in other posts, it appears we have folks who are doing well in some of the northern classics, and then come out punching high in the one week races. I am curious how Matty will do in a GT

Jorgenson is the new Visma-LAB mutant. The guy is really impressive: from winning a cobbled classic to beating climbers in mountainous races.
His position looks really aero to the naked eye, at least from a side shot, long and stretched out completely horizontal, not sure about frontal though.

They are postponing the decision as long as they can. On the presentation day they will be testing [Vingegaard]'s threshold. Grischa Niermann can't sleep at night wondering if [he] will show Teddy and co who's the strongest.

Yeah tbh better call them Rabo instead! I'm serious. It's like fashion; last season is out but 10-15 years ago is just retro 🤣

Happy to do so, but if you have such a request, it is far more effective to @ me or PM me (or the OP) than to put a comment in the middle of a thread in the vague hope that someone might stumble across it.

Statement Team Visma | Lease a Bike after ruling in Michel Hessmann…
Team Visma | Lease a Bike has taken note of the German anti-doping agency NADA's decision in the case against Michel Hessmann. The rider was suspended by…
www.teamvismaleaseabike.com
4 months ban, with 3 of them already served. Ruled as contamination.
If someone makes an excuse of contamination, shouldn't he have to back it up with evidence? With facts about when and how the contamination entered his system.
Hessmann's lawyer represents cheaters in quite a few doping cases in several different sports in Germany, so I guess he's pretty good at defending cheaters, but there's no question that the German anti-doping agency was a partner in covering up the case.
But the NADA response does not provide any facts, just a speculation.

Actually they secretly tested it last fall at the Vuelta. The computer analysis continually told them Kuss was the strongest. After a thorough review, the algorithm has been adjusted. It should get it right this time around.The way things are going I'm afraid that this Visma control vehicle is about a year or so late

Some things look good on paper, but are impossible in real life.

Maybe it's time for him to move to UAE to see if they can help him. Rohan Dennis would probably have done it.
