I don't think he's even doing the tour next year thanks to Gouvenou

More like classics, giro, vuelta, WC

The Tour has similar amount of flat ITT as in 2024 and 2025.
And frankly, if Vingegaard doesn't improve improve in the mountains, even 100km of TT won't give him a chance, and we probably won't get that (unless he becomes french).
So I don't think he is bothered by Gouvenou

I'd be genuinely surprised if he didn't do the Tour.

I would do:


Giro:
Lipo
Hindley
Pellizzari

Tour:
Remco
Lipo
Hindley
Vlasov

Vuelta:
Roglic
Martinez
Pellizzari
Vlasov

--> Remco: Tour, Spring Classics, Falls Races

--> Lipo: Giro and Tour

--> Roglic: Tour de Swiss, Vuelta

I find that an interesting prediction.
Remco will certainly have to ride for victory a lot in the spring, so I think the Tour fits better into the program. Even though I believe that the Tour route is not ideal for him and that he looks much better for Lipowitz. On the other hand, I don't think Lipo will go to the Giro and the Tour. There's a lot to be said for the Tour. If he does go to the Giro because he really wants to go for the win, then it'll be more likely to be the Vuelta. After coming third, the pressure at the Tour as the second GT straight after the Giro would be too high, and I can't imagine him going purely as a support rider for Remco.
Provided he gets back into shape, Martinez will probably also ride the Giro or the Tour as a support rider.

He does his best watts when angry and fresh, the van gils schedule is what's optimal for him!

I honestly thought you are Ilmaestro and misspelled San Remo..
