Agree, his best ever GT performance by a big margin, resolved any doubts re his GT ability. The top two are just so, so good that it'll be hard to catch them, but that's not a slight against his ability. Much to be proud of.Goal accomplished. Mature riding for 3 weeks. Will definitely gain a lot of experience from this. Hope he can take another step next year and be somewhat closer.
Now focus on the Olympics en World Champs.
Impressive Tour, Remco.
Jonas wants the Giro next year. Tadej wants the Vuelta.The Big 2 are going all in on the tour next year. He should go for the Giro vuelta double and then go for it again when he is 2 years older in 2026.
Not really. Its pretty easy to tell what riders fluked a podium or even a win. Lately, you can point at riders such as Hugh Carthy and Jack Haig for example off the top of my mind who are riders that podiummed, but it was obvious that was their ceiling in races where everything went right.
Then again, Tao G and Hindley won GT's. I thought they both were flukes in 2020, and while Tao hasn't performed really, he looked extremely good and ready to contest the win in 23 while Hindley won in 22
Obviously not, I was talking abot the Vuelta and GTs in generalHaig and Carthy did not podium the TDF.
Great, so the Tour is up for grabs!Jonas wants the Giro next year. Tadej wants the Vuelta.
Only the Giro winner got the right prep.They will all three ride the giro next year for the win as a preparation for the tour. That will be the new normal after this tour.
I do think Jonas will do the Giro, he must try it at some point. And next year will be perfect.No way vingeegard will do giro next year, he wants the revenge with a proper preparation, surely he will go all in for TDF.
Remco should think well about his schedule next season, tour is tour but 9 minutes is just too much to believe he can have a chance to beat the alien(s).
Big mistake if he does will only get a bigger smackdown. I think Remco only will continue to close that gap I see no reason why not. His first year he nailed GT properly still only 24 I see no reason he wont decrease the gap to Vingegaard.No way vingeegard will do giro next year, he wants the revenge with a proper preparation, surely he will go all in for TDF.
We deserve to see the best riders in the biggest races. He should plan for the Tour.No way vingeegard will do giro next year, he wants the revenge with a proper preparation, surely he will go all in for TDF.

Indeed, he tried, as you should. What an amazing ride of Remco the past 3 weeks. Definitely made the Tour more fun to watch with his attacking mindsetRemember when Remco tried to drop Jonas? Normally, Remco had left everybody in the dust. But for Jonas and Tadej, it was just a coffee ride.
It worked for Pogi. Look it used to be the Giro-Tour double was idealI do think Jonas will do the Giro, he must try it at some point. And next year will be perfect.
Mindset....is one thing. Executing the plan is another thing.Indeed, he tried, as you should. What an amazing ride of Remco the past 3 weeks. Definitely made the Tour more fun to watch with his attacking mindset
What should he have done? The days before Vingegaard showed signs of weakness, should he just not do anything? Or was there something else he could’ve done? Vingegaard was just stronger, there’s no shame in thatMindset....is one thing. Executing the plan is another thing.

Next year he will start the Tour with smaller balls, that's roughly another 2kg he can lose compared to Jonas.Mindset....is one thing. Executing the plan is another thing.
