More specifically, they will RaboBank later.They will bank later.
A complete shame not to see WVA at the MSR startlist. This is by far Visma's best chance to win a monument this year and they've been really lacking in the biggest one-days for a long time. What are they doing?
I personally don't understand the sponsorship exposure strategy.. Wout rides typically on the front, and in a 289 kilometer race, win or lose Van Aert is best possible rider to show team colors.Plugge is proving the need for a rule that the best riders should be required to ride the biggest races by not letting his best riders ride the biggest races and thus artificially creating a frustration about the lack of that rule.
Thy look ridiculous with those helmets.
Roglic probably left so that he can be in a team that actually implements a concussion protocol when he crashes. Visma are really milking the pr of the Brennen win when its in the news that they let a dizzy concussed rider race up a mountainIt's the real reason Rog left. He saw the early prototype concepts and said 'nah'.
Which is even more ridiculous when you know Jorgenson had everything under control. No faith in him apparently either.Roglic probably left so that he can be in a team that actually implements a concussion protocol when he crashes.

What an awful team this has become after Rog left. They cannot win a sprint to the sign post and they were chasing Rog for no reason today. Just awful...
Maybe they’re irritated since Roglic has gotten the last laugh on them repeatedly and want to try sticking it to him. Sure they got one over him in PN last year, but Roglic won the ToBC TT and beat Jorgenson in CdD. Vingegaard was most likely finishing ahead in the Tour and beat him this year VaAeB. Roglic then had a great performance in the Vuelta while Visma’s GC was squandered. They’re like the ex who’s upset you’ve moved on from them.Yeah I didn't quite get why Visma was chasing Rog there. It gave some Movistar versus Carapaz vibes.
Of course they were happy, Roglic walked right into their trap.What race was it last year that Roglic randomly wandered into the Visma team presentation? There's no hard feelings there lol
Visma were just trying to set up a Simon Yates attack.

There is something wrong within the Visma team. It has been evident for over a year now, and it doesn't look much better this year. I am benchmarking against 2023, but previous years, before 2023 has also been better.
When I listened to Johan on The Move I hadn't thought about his notion of how small details can take the joy out of simply riding your bike and what that fact does to an athletes mental state.
If everything is measured and (pseudo-)scientifically based then people collapse under the pressure of having any fun.
Any hot takes ?
