Could it be that the course is just too flat and windy for Vingegaard. Remember reading from the OP that the Tour hasn't seen a TT as flat as this in quite some time. And although he is excellent on hillier terrain, Vingegaard losing more in relation to Pog and Remco on a completely flat one is actually logical and not necessarily a sign of lacking form.
It is very telling to be honest. Maybe he didn't practise a lot after the Dauphine
 
There is no way Remco takes a minute on Pogacar today.
Also feel that the people thinking Vingegaard to take time here on Pogacar are very hope driven. Whenever Pogacar had a bad result in something that mattered (Dauphine ITT), he knocked something completely out the park soon later. Wouldn't surprise me if he takes significant time here on Vingegaard and we can all fall into depression.

I think a repeat from last year's first ITT seems quite realistic.
Gonna be brutally honest, a flat for Pogacar would benefit this Tour greatly lol.
Doesn't happen a lot but I can actually proudly quote myself here.
Basically a repeat of last year just with Vingegaard significantly worse. He was probably overrated on a pure flat TT to begin with but looking at his and Jorgensons time, something definitely went wrong at Visma.
