Del Toro hasn’t shown he can push similar numbers to Evenepoel in TDF 2024. And we still have to see if Seixas can hold his form for 3 full weeks
True, but surely Del Toro will be on a higher level this year. Seixas still needs to ride the Tour, but he has huge potential.

Neither has Remco
This is quite literally a really stupid post, and it is hard to not think you are only trolling.

Evenepoel literally did push those numbers in the 2024 Tour. In what world would it even be possible that a rider has not pushed the numbers this same rider actually did push in a race?

Yeah, I agree. Why did you write that post then?

The 2024 TdF can't be used as an argument forever but let's wait for Catalunya to know if Remco can still climb against world class climbers (Vingegaard is on another level but Lipo, Almeida will be there for example).

Since it’s the last GT he was in some way properly prepared for and it’s only 1.5 years ago, I think it’s fine.

If he has proper preparation and fails in TDF 2026, then you have a point.
