Indeed, it's a comparable lay-out to when Evenepoel won in 2019. But Mendizorrotz is farther from the finish, so there might still be more competitors able to follow still. But in theory, Evenepoel could attack at the end of the steep section there as well, as he has done plenty of times before (Valencia, Liège, Danmark...) and expand the gap right after the steep part of the climb. It might actually be a viable option if he sees others (out)match him on the steeper sections, to try and get the gap there.

Was his time in altitude long enough? Only 4 weeks... What's the impact compared to his 7-week for the Giro?

Yes. Doing tonnes of mega long altitude camps doesn't make a difference. You just need to do one with the right amount of time and right timing, especially for a vuelta. Roglic didn't even go to altitude in 2020 or 2022 for vuelta.
Does his altittude training still have an impact for the Vuelta? Vuelta is a month away.
he will probably do a 7-10 day camp after the worlds, or at least stay in an altitude hotel

Please educate us on the right amount of time and timing as it relates to the Vuelta.

no idea how he is going, of course, it's been largely "radio silence" from him in a while (probably good to get a break from the attention).
if close-to-peak remco is at SS, then i expect a battle with Ayuso.
tho he might find an ally in ben healy. how great to see those two go together from far out.

Wasn't it similar timing last year? He also came back down from altitude for San Sebastian and didn't go back up
Didn't he sleep in a altitude simulated chamber?
But the worlds weren't in between last year. So now he is occupied for the worlds for ~2weeks where i don't think he can do that simulation (?). Which gives him 1-1.5 weeks until he needs to round of and leave for the vuelta. If i understood previous posters, altitude training for a short duration brings negative effects, if this also applies for the simulation chamber..
So i'm just wondering with what 'altitude' adaption he is going to enter the Vuelta (with the 3rd week in mind)

Interesting that they changed the route up again, especially considering Remco is in the race since Im quite certain he would just solo from Erlaitz again. Looks like a super hard middle section now with Jaizkibel-Erlaitz and should make for a fun and possibly more open race?

The altitude would boost his red blood cell generation. It takes 2-3 weeks to adapt to an altitude of 3000m for mountain climbers. It takes 4-6 weeks for the red blood cells to replace the blood donated. So 4 weeks should be sufficient.
I don't mind the route change. Maybe we get a race like AGR this year. Breaks open fast and we get a select group of people that work together until the climbs. Ben Healy and Ayuso are very strong atm, think they are good companions on the road 80K out.
If I remember last year, Remco didn't expect to be alone after the Erlaitz, so his mindset will probably be the same (if he is good enough). Get ahead with some other favs and go for it. Plus Healy and Ayuso are probably beatable in a sprint

i would take Ayuso over Remco in a sprint.
Ayuso very similar to Pog, i believe.

This team will support Remco in clasico San Sebastian . Sadly the rumours that Masnada would be here are false

"the blood donated" . . . for his use later? (wrong forum I know, but just wanted to clarify if that's what you meant)

Strong lineup. Climbing. They just lack that one guy who might make it into the last 5 or 6 and still pile on the pressure. Maybe Ala…(?)

No i meant if a person donates blood to another person, it take 4-6 weeks to regenerate it back, nothing to do with the clinic, the normal blood donation

It diminishes over time and a short stint now would only deprive him of training he'd prefer for attack/recovery and TT efforts. The last week could be a mix and longer recovery rides but no way of knowing unless they post his routine.

The betting odds are very low for Remco. His is the big favorite according the bookies. They don't want to take a risk with Remco. Remco has 5 out of 5 for the last 'long' one day races (LBL, Clasica, Worlds, LBL, Belgian championship). Normally he should win on Saturday. BTW : We saw Remco reach top 10 in bunch sprints. I haven't seen this from Ayuso.

I feel like the pressure should be on Ayuso to show something against a top dog in San Sebastian.
I don't really see why Evenepoel would blast it before the final Murgil Tontorra tbh. I'd think a long solo would be a bit much a week before the WC.

Regarding altitude, if i remember correctly, after an altitude camp he often went to Kolobnev's hotel in between races. Not sure if that's possible now. I think i also remember reading he was installing similar technology in his own apartment, but i don't know if those were distant future plans, or if he has that at his disposal as we speak.

Remco training on the Angrilu this week.

On the picture it seems that he has lost some weight ( however it can be a false impression ).
