Given the supreme dominance of Grand Tours in 2023 from
Jumbo-Visma however, for either Pogacar or Evenepoel to topple Vingegaard looks a daunting task. "Of course it was always a good team and this year they were more dominant than ever, but we have a similarly strong Tadej Pogacar, who has also won many races this season," says Voigt. "If he rides, in quotes, ‘poorly’, he will still finish second in the Tour. And that is a weak result for him."
“I think that Jumbo were only so overwhelmingly superior this year and that will change next season. Jumbo's dominance will no longer be as strong or visible," the German predicts. “I don't expect us to see years like Team Sky again, where a team starts from the front and crushes everything like they did back then with Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome. I think the other teams are all capable of catching up.”
