Danish commentators saying they had a chat with Riis last night, where the topic of Pogacar came up.

Riis thought he was a little too heavy and needed to drop a few pounds, and said he might get an issue on the step climbs in the Alps.
Those climbs aren't as steep as Marie-Blanque. It won't be an issue, IMO, if he has the same legs as in the Pyrenees. He can handle long climbs.

A healthier bodyfat percentage has advantages, also. More energy, and a positive effect on the immune system. Not everyone can starve themselves to death M. Rasmussen-style and still perform.
