Ouch.

he could plausibly decide the victory if you do really well , but as you are only two out of more than 30 teams at the top it is just not all that likely - didnt mean it as a dig

Much less so about Vlasov, who's shown some good form, but needs better results. Could just end up being a superdom otherwise?

It's not like he's had any bad results so far this season. 7th overall in both stage races he has started in.

The thing that has looked encouraging for me about Vlasov in terms of this game is that he seems genuinely interested in making results even if it's just in the top 10 of which he has 9 already this season. He's been sprinting for places whenever he can and take bonus seconds when possible etc. Even in Valenciana on stage 4 when he had 2 team mates up the road in Evenepoel and Pellizzari he could have just taken it easy and saved energy for the next day but he still held on for 7th and a top 10 overall himself.

I have a feeling with both Vlasov and Martinez that they want to stamp their mark on the team leaders that they still exists and can be counted on even with the advent of Evenepoel.
