Terrific Thibau Nys dominant in uphill finale to stage 1 of Tour of Norway; Wout van Aert doesn't feature on return to racing

It does not look good for Jonas. The Tour really needs a battle between Pog, Rog and Jonas so fingers crossed.

I think it’s hard to say, maybe 50/50 at the moment, it’s only once he’s had 2-3 weeks of real training that they’ll be able to judge if he could possibly get near his fitness numbers in time and everyone has a different idea of when that needs to be.

They will probably even consider the TdF course to see how necessary it would be for him to be 100% the first week, maybe taking the risk that he could start at 95% and still improve until the last week.

For sure I think they’ll do everything they can (Jonas included) to get there as also they would be disappointed not to participate, but considering what everyone wants and hopes for, if it’s not to be competitive then it really is a waste of time and effort on every level.

There are few other reasons for him to go there except to battle Pog.

Of course it is. The cycling media is desperate for Jonas Vs Pogi Vs MdVD battle, but as it stands, Jonas is not fully fit. And he has no form under him, so... Pretty unrealistic in deed. People like Senna will troll on facts though. Hence why, I kept remake my comments, each time I got trolled😒
