It's not like Plugge has never given any other team any compliments. These just don't reach the Anglophone media. I'm not his biggest fan but he's also being turned into a bit of a caricature of what he really is.Plugge should learn how to be humble with Gianetti.

Affini is doing the Tignes altitude camp later this month along with the rest of the TDF team (apart from Benoot who does Tour de Suisse). He will be the replacement for Laporte
Finally, a Dutch rider on Visma's roster for the Tour
Or at least someone who lives in the Netherlands

Custom says if you put add an athlete to finite list, you have remove someone from the list.
So give us the eight deserving riders for Visma's TdF.

Edit:
Here's the PCS version of their starting list and it includes yates

Yeah of course. That's the reason they signed Yates in the first place, to be the last man in the mountains for Vingegaard. The Giro win is just a bonus.
Tullett is probably the reserve for if one of the climbers (Yates, Kuss, Jorgenson, maybe Benoot) gets injured.

Red Bull have 'their own' as well, UAE in danger of becoming second class.
No surprises at all. I don't really understand the confidence they have in Benoot, but other than that, the team should be more than good enough to support a potential runner up in the Tour.

Tbf, Benoot just raced his first race after a (probably too) long spring classics campaign. He might improve a lot at the Tour. Not many guys you could throw in otherwise besides Tulett and for him the plan is to ride the Vuelta.

Benoot rumoured to L'Oréal Decathlon right? Not sure if the rumors holds?
But the guy is stellar.

So, the names of Vingegaard's wife and kids are on the Tour jersey:
Which makes me wonder; do the other riders also have the names of their families on the jersey?
For example; are the names Sarah De Bie, Georges Van Aert, and Jerome Van Aert also on it, somewhere?

They set a brutal pace in the finish, and then Benoot launched an attack seemingly just to make Vingegaard look over his shoulder and hesitate. I really think the whole thing was about keeping Pogacar in yellow. It might have annoyed him a bit, but these “150 IQ” tactics feel like bush-league gamesmanship.
Other than that, Yates didn’t even want to be in that break (he basically said so in his interview), and there was no real advantage to it. Is this just panic after yesterday’s stage, or something else? What do you all think?

@Pozzovivo
Inflicting fatigue, believing Jonas is the most immune to that, that is their plan A, day in day out. One thing they likely didn't expect is Pogi isn't racing like a jackass any more. There is some small amount of finesse in it now too, regarding riding it conservatively.

I will not say panic but their initial strategy (winning time in the TT and defend the advantage) went really wrong.
So I don't even think they were trying to win today, they just wanted to put pressure on UAE and didn't want Pogacar to give the jersey away.

I don't understand why Shates pulled in the front group. Once he made it across, he should just have sabotaged it.

The point of putting Simon Yates in the break is to make him mad so that he obliterates the entire UAE train tomorrow.
It's worked 100% of the time every time.
