Form looks good.

Form looks good.

Yeah, but tomorrow will be difficult. Maybe he can win it in a sprint. RBH could set a high pace for 6km's and then they can try to launch him with Van Gils. Or if they want to give other riders in the team a chance too, let someone attack early.

Last climb

 

[Red Rick]

Just play the team game with Lipowitz and perhaps Van Gils as well on this route. It's a 1.1 race in January, this is when you can create some good will within your team.

 

[Faserr]

Sent Lipo on a suicide mission on Puig and Evenepoel or Van Gils could finish it of on the last climb.

 

[Didinho]

Good start with the new team. Weird to see him with long sleeves on the TT bike. Just colder here or his skin isn’t aero anymore.

Not even sure if all 3 are riding

The whole team looked good although in the Tour they'll need to keep the principal climbers in their echelon. GC depends on more than 4 finishers.

Just watched the TTT, and it was a disappointing watch. I understand them focusing on movistar. But even when they had finished, they barely showed the TT World Champ. Focusing on UAE who were in truth already out of the running.

Reports I have read said Remco took long sustained pulls throughout.

TDF I think actually has the same deal as recent P-N with individual being counted, so launching one rider at the end. Makes it tough strategically for teams with more than one leader. Particularly with it ending in a climb.

the coleader thing is nonsense. It's not going to happen.

It will most certainly be the Red Bull Remcos at the TDF

You think so? I think they really have Lipowitz as co-leader, which makes sense. Probably even today in Mallorca they’ll be co-leaders

No way. Period. Just like Vismas tour team, when Vingegaard took his first win, and it was decided on the road who'd be captain. If Pogi starts at TDF, there's definitely no need for a single-leader strategy at Red Bull, first place is unattainable then.

Easier to have predictable long-sleeved suits for aero metrics. Plus....we don't have to look at the Mantis forearms of climbers in direct comparison to other teammates.
