Don't kid yourselves with this he didn't eat, he just smelled talk, look at the stains on his lips, he indulged fully, and we will all see the consequences soon when he has to heave the strudels remains, namely fat cells, up the unforgiving french mountains!

It's ok to eat cake. It's not like these riders only eat vegetables with rice and a piece of fish...

Like @Karl Merckx said in the Dauphiné thread, Remco isn’t in proper shape yet. Apparently he’s still far from his best Basque form due to having to sit still for 3 weeks. We’ll see how he handles Dauphine, but based on this I don’t even see him finish top 5.

Nu nog niet voor de knikkers, in de Tour wel? "Conditionele achterstand" werkt Evenepoel volgens coach wel weg in Dauphiné | sporza
2 maanden na zijn vermaledijde crash in de Ronde van het Baskenland duikt de Belgische tricolore vanaf zondag weer in het peloton op. "Maar Remco heeft niet het niveau dat hij nu normaal zou hebben", tempert zijn coach Koen Pelgrim de verwachtingen voor de Dauphiné.

No worries mate, doubtless the team monitors his fat percentage, which for the Tour will likely be at 3%-5%.
If Remco isn't at his best, then Jonas couldn't possibly be it either.Like @Karl Merckx said in the Dauphiné thread, Remco isn’t in proper shape yet.

Jonas had a more complicated hospital stay, so he's actually behind Remco

Vingegaard only just started with altitude training, he probably will just stay at altitude until a couple of days before the start of the TDF, and hope for the best.

I can see it already, Landa and Evenepoel working for Van Wilder. As it should be.

It's not even about altitude. It's about what training you do at altitude. Final altitude camp is all about fine tuning and doing race specific training prep normally.
Vingegaard meanwhile still has to start doing serious intensity training.

Evenepoel himself says he is still "far from his best form".

Remco Evenepoel laat algemeen klassement links liggen in Dauphiné: "Wil vooral zien waar ik sta" | sporza
Komend weekend mag Remco Evenepoel zichzelf weer renner noemen. Na zijn zware crash in de Ronde van het Baskenland wil hij ontdekken hoe goed zijn conditie is in de Dauphiné. Meteen meedingen voor het algemene klassement, ziet Evenepoel zelf als een utopie. "Het wordt een erg zware race", zegt...
The differences in communication between the Remco and Vingegaard camps are extreme.

Not really though? It's not like Visma is tooting Vingegaard is in top shape and ready to win another TDF. They are currently hoping he will make the TDF squad. SQS on the other hand is saying Evenepoel isn't ready to compete at the highest level, but are sure he will be in top shape for the TDF.
What is your anticipation of how he will do in Dauphine?

1 week Dauphine, then 2 weeks in the Alps, NC, and 1 week in Belgium probably.
If he isn’t close to the best riders there, I can’t see him closing that gap. Maybe he starts riding properly in week 3 of the TDF, when it’s too late.

No idea. I don't know whether they are lowballing or bluffing, or whether he really is not close enough to top form to actually compete.
last time he talked like this, he ended up taking Red at La Vuelta on stage 6 and not losing the jersey until he put on the rainbow jersey
he's probably in better shape than he was at Suisse last year.
I think had the medium mountain stages not have been cancelled, he wins that race
I actually take them at their word. No way he’s in the shape he’d be in without the crash, but should still be able to get near 100% for the Tour.

The press release said he's "acclimating to altitude" before he starts training at altitude. Acclimation is active sunbathing by comparison so, no. He might be at the Grand Depart hotel but someone else on JV will start.
