Let's face it, winning the Tour next year is a big ask for Remco. Now this season had it's ups and downs and I really think Evenepoel's Vuelta was compromised in the mountains by his prep to win the WCITT. He would need to improve his climbing considerably, however, to have a shot at wearing yellow in Nice. This is why doing the Giro perhaps isn't a bad idea, as the course seems taylor made for him, and then go to the Tour for experience. I suppose it depends on his climbing numbers. If they suggest he is capable in theory to climb with the best, then he can still do a good Tour.
