@Lequack Remco looks fat compared to the pair of skinny JV guys. Mountains won't be easy, Captain Gravity counts every particle!

Yes exactly. That's why it sounds so weird that he's supposed to have some "reoccurring sepsis". I've just heard about sequela. I've witnessed sepsis cause both death and chronic illness, it's really a disease from hell.If it is sepsis he definitely could “fall dead down”. Sepsis isn’t a joke and can snowball quickly into septic shock if he doesn’t or isn’t able to seek treatment.
Correct. Red shoes and a yellow suitcase for the Tour/Vuelta double

Amsterdam (Schiphol) airport. I recognized it because it is usually full of clowns (with the airport staff).Correct. Red shoes and a yellow suitcase for the Tour/Vuelta double

I agree. Only problem. His very young age. But if Ayuso is able to regularly finish at the front and finish second or third in Madrid (with a stronger field than last year !), he'll become the succeeder of Vingegaard and Pogacar in the Tour de France 2025, 2026.......Juan motherfucking Ayuso. I think he will start slow, but be the best uphill on stages 13 and 14. I think those suit him brilliantly, the harder, the better. Thats my analysis of him as a rider anyways.
That's why he is not a climber. But a powerhouse on the flat and middle mountains. Evenepoel has maybe that one kilo of extra "fat" at the start of the Vuelta. A little bit of reserve... Could be usefull during the second half of the Vuelta. But the rest, pure muscles, more than Vingegaard and Roglic.@Lequack Remco looks fat compared to the pair of skinny JV guys.

If Jonas paddles with his hands i suspect he will have a watt/kg of 10
Yeah, not bad for sitting on the Chesterfield for 5 weeks - must be some kind of magical couch as I definitely don't look that thin after lounging about at home.Vingo looks even skinnier now than at the Tour.

Hmmm. Sounds a bit like Contador before the 2008 Giro. Sitting on a beach? Then he won.Yeah, not bad for sitting on the Chesterfield for 5 weeks - must be some kind of magical couch as I definitely don't look that thin after lounging about at home.
Such a strange setup right now. There are 17 riders with significant time ahead of the putative favorites, and among them are guys who podiumed GTs (Carthy, Bardet, Landa), the best climbing doms (Kuss, Poels, Soler, Castroviejo), future stars (L. Mart, Eetvelt), and quality riders like Rubio and de La Cruz. It's hard to imagine that every single one of them will fade/get dropped. So at some point we're going to have a very interesting stage, but maybe not until the Tourmalet
Normally when we see this it's a bunch of breakaway specialists ahead of the favorites.
If you took positions 18-25 and said before the start that after stage 6 this would be the top GC contender list, I don't think anyone would have argued with you. All within 50 seconds or so.
