I think the questions are about volume, not intensity. He's basically coming from zero fitness at this point. Would seem volume (as in winter training) would be the focus at this time, no?
If he's healthy enough for basic volume training. That's what I want to know.

100 miles, 5 hours, 6000 feet...I'd say he's healthy enough.

I'm surprised HLN isn't actually doing it.

I actually think the fact that he's still in Belgium shows that he's not ahead of schedule.
If he were close to being race ready I'd think he would be in Spain for his final prep and his big training rides.
Unless it's just mentally easier to be close to his family during this period.

my thinking as well.
Plus, he did go for the entire course recon, not just part of it
Not in race winning shape by any means. But he'd likely do much better than Lance's 2005 PN performance

i think we will see evenepoel be good enough to compete in Brabantse pijl and Tour de Romandie (if he participates there). I don't think he'll be good enough to truly combat Pogacar. But he should be able to have a dig at WvA on that kinda terrain, and have enough competition under his belt against non-Pogacar cyclists to try and win Romandie.

Yeah he's getting there, step by step. I'm happy they aren't trying to move too quickly like they did in 2021. Hope to see him back in Calpe soon though.

He should be in Calpe by now so this really means he is not ahead of his schedule. It will be hard for him to even be competitive in Ardennes so I think he should race Giro del Trentino and Romandie to get some racing miles before an altitude training camp. It is softer and safer to race these stage races than chaotic races like ardennes classics IMHO.

He's not in Calpe because he wants to be close to family since he's bummed out

That doesn't make sense IMO. He is with his family since November. If he didn't crash, he would have done a training camp in December and January. Maybe you are right but I think it is more plausible that he isn't ahead of his schedule.

I also don’t think he’s ahead of schedule, I think he’s just on schedule for TDF. I don’t think location has to do anything with his schedule though.
