They've made the race almost unwatchable other than for comedic value. What's the point? It's all a foregone conclusion. Even Dawg had his moments where he looked vulnerable. The only remaining question is how much more ridiculous can they get? Probably Wout will win every stage next year.
Well, moments after questioning how much more ridiculous can they get, Jonas is currently up on WVA!

He never had to go full out for long in this Tour.
I do wonder how Van Aert would feel to be beaten here though

I suspect he wouldn't be happy, esp after missing out on KOM, haha

Jumbo Visma is providing a public service, really. Recent cycling fans who missed the 1999-2005 comedy years get to relive that period, but now with extra special effects.

WVA is their Hincapie, just equipped with top-tier climbing, TT, and sprint abilities.

Vingegaard to steam through the third time check and then soft pedal to the finish.

It is quite telling that even Pogacar is losing time in the second section, but Jonas and WVA are smashing it. I thought that Pogacar would be the designated mutant for a while, I was very very wrong.
a sub 60kg guy defeating the 2 best TTers while not climbing. This is even worse than Contador -Cancellera, because contador only overtook cancellera at the end... not on the relative flats before it.

I can pay no bigger tribute to JV than saying that they have completely rehabilitated Pogacar's image

Hincapie never displayed a fraction of this dominance.
This is their Jalabert. They should bring him to the Vuelta now that it looks like Roglic is out.

I was joking about the Hincapie comparison. Yes, the only reasonable comparison since 1990s is probably 1995 Jalabert, and even he did not win Tour or Vuelta TTs.
Ok, apparently wellknown cycling analyst and cycling youtuber Benji Naessen has been working as a video analysist and tactical analysist for Jumbo….
My God, no wonder why no one talks critical of their performances…
I am losing my joy for cycling rapidly now.
Even the podcasts I watch are apparently linked to the most suspicious team in the recent history.
But yeah Benji is still objective on social media. Yeah riiiiight….

Jalabert 1995 is more ridiculous. I sometimes make Jalabert 1995 comps and go back and look at his 1995 season because it's more amazing than you remember.
That said WVA makes me think he could do a Jalabert 1995 which is amazing in itself.
