Only other time he did giro vuelta he finished 4th then 18th. Hardly a resounding success in the 2nd race.

Well in 2020 he did Tour and Vuelta and was 2nd in the 2nd race…

What is going on in Belgium? The guy refuses to ride the national championships and then ducks out of the ITT and yet he’s co-leader and will no doubt try to influence the selection further.

I guess WVA couldn't care less about getting another silver medal in the ITT and wants to be 100% fresh for the road race. A ballsy decision but not that weird considering all the 2nd places he has racked up so far. Also there is no way Remco is going to be a domestique for WVA if he is in good shape. It will probably increase his chance to win if they let Remco attack tbh. Good luck catching Remco while WVA is in your wheel lol
why would he get 2nd place? he has been fighting for top spots with the italian, switching places now and then... heck he is almost certain of a podium spot in the ITT, in the RR a big question mark. Also not clear how the ITT would influence the RR. ITs not like they are day-to-day events.
ofcourse his absence can give more chances to Remco for WC ITT if he is still in good form...

Tour de France breakaway expert van Aert might be the first to attack, hoping to come second, I mean win, from a small group and leaving the rest of the Belgian team back in the peloton.

Of course, it is possible to improve your condition without altitude training. But it is very difficult to improve condition without altitude training...... by training at sea level after a altitude training camp. As Evenepoel did/does. Evenepoel can only improve its explosiveness and recovery after effort through interval training. But his already excellent basic condition will not improve. Do stay intact..... until halfway through the Vuelta.
It would have been better to split his altitude training camp in two. Two weeks before the Clasica. One week after the Clasica (after a few days rest).
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

His Tour Vuelta double attempt in Covid 2020 was even closer together and he was the strongest rider in the final set of mountains

Because Ganna is 100 % focusing on the worlds TT. Fresher and in better condition than in the Tour. Van Aert would not be perfectly prepared for the TT. In addition, he is mortgaging his road race by preparing for the time trial and by riding the time trial. Although I would rather have seen it differently, I can understand Van Aert's choice well. Although his choice does not guarantee a good performance during the road race.

Carapaz lost 1m20s in a 12k TT today.
TTT is in 2 weeks.
PS: to Arensman, not to Ganna, Van Aert or Evenepoel.

Very good TT's though from Sheffield, Hayter and Tulett but I guess Sheffield might be too young to ride a GT this year and Tulett should definitely be too young to ride two GT's in one year?

Yep, if Alap worked with Remco in the worlds, I suspect Remco would get the win in that scenario
If Carapaz is losing this type of time in a short ITT, he could lose 3 minutes to Remco in the mid length ITT of the Vuelta
Or Carapaz is coming into the Vuelta undercooked and playing the long game.

That's possible, but it's not going to help him on day 1 for the TTT.

After the Tour and San Sebastian, Evenepoel rises to fourth place in the "general" UCI ranking (after Pogacar, Roglic and Van Aert). Even to first place for the one day races.
Even if he doesn't make it in a big stage race, and is occasionally beaten in a smaller stage race, he still largely lives up to expectations.
If he gets even stronger (which remains to be seen) he can climb one more flight of stairs.

Remco was on fire on training today, on Alto Miserat a climb 4.14 miles long at 9.6% average, he climbed almost 4 minutes faster than David Gaudu, like wtf!!

He did it in 22 min. 15 sec, averaging 18 km/h. He has taken another step, he is insanely strong right now.

Yes. Alto Miserat.
He went on that ride with MVDP who, on that climb, did only 21 more minutes, probably taking it easier as he seems to have done blocs of 5 minutes @ 450 watts with 3 times 1 hour @ 230w in between.
Remco doesn't upload his power data but the wattage for MVDP up Alto Miserat was of 216 watts.

It's not a very high VAM, but it's also a dumb climb for W/kg because flat patches.
