This year's Vuelta is shaping up to be amazing with Pogačar, Roglic, Bernal, Evenepoel and Alaphilippe all possibly there.
I'm reading that medically he could make his comeback in 4 weeks already 
TDF 22 is his.

Let's say everything goes well & smooth with Egan's comeback. Maybe no Tour, but ....... Dauphine? Suisse?

Even if he is training properly he must reinforce the muscles around his body. Because he would be weak and in danger of crashing again. So I's say that not only is his stamina that is an issue but the strength of his body. IMHO.
Austria, Burgos some Italian one day races would probably be a good return.Let's say everything goes well & smooth with Egan's comeback. Maybe no Tour, but ....... Dauphine? Suisse?

Assuming his recovery is being closely monitored by the relevant experts, I would be surprised if Egan's musculoskeletal strength would not be recovered before his stamina and aerobic fitness.

VDP did not reportedly crash into a parked bus at 60 kph. I find it shocking, to say the least, that he is even pedaling again, let alone training to return to World Tour competition. Evidently there are two states of multiple broken bones and a punctured lung between mere mortals and elite cyclists on Ineos. Naturally I am happy he is well, but the whole affair is a mystery.

I can’t wait for this young man to get on the road, certainly when that day comes this/next year is a monumental day for cyclists in the future if they suffer the same injuries, that there’s hope they can come back, because Egan did it.

'We’ve got a couple of guys who can climb similar speeds. I think that Egan can climb at that rate,' says deputy team principal.

Fresh perhaps after a gruelling Tour no way.

I'm very curious on how a top form Bernal would have fared in this year Tour de France.
And hopefully next year everyone (Roglic, Poggie, Vingo, Bernal) will be healthy and avoid fall so that we can have epic battles.

Although I would think Roglic and Bernal would closer be where Thomas is than where Pogi is, yes, indeed, hoping for the same.

A top Bernal would finish 10 minutes behind Vingegaard. Stop with the nonsense, Bernal is not remotely close to the level of Vingegaard and Pogi
Hard to say. We've actually not seen Bernal at his highest level except for a brief time in the 2019 tour on the landslide stage. He hurt his back in 2020, won the Giro in less than dominant fashion despite that crazy stage 16 win, then this year is a write off.
In my mind he's as good as Vingegaard going uphill but with a worse TT. But I don't have much evidence to support that. He's very strong in one day races when healthy, too.
Bernal had won a tour and a Giro before anybody had even heard of Vingegaard. He is also young and still improving. He's certainly better than Thomas who is 36 and didn't finish 10 minutes behind. Your hyperbole re JV is silly.
