- Jonas is getting older and he's had a few scary crashes in the last year or so that have given him issues, Tadej is coming into his own it seems and he is peaking. There's nothing wrong with being proud of your effort if its the best you could give. I hope Jonas will have good luck in the Vuelta, hopefully he's not too fatigued to win it.
- The psychological aspect of dropping the all conquering Pogi wold be tremendous
- He will go until his contract ends in 2030. He needs at least two more Tours and maybe a Vuelta and and another Giro or two for his legacy, he has the time and he's fit for it.
- He was tired last year after the Tour, this year he was sick for about half the race.
- If the tour hadn’t been decided by today. It would have been decided today. Imagine Wout van Aert having to protect his team leader Vingegaard, imagine a drained Vingegaard trying to do on day 21 what he was unable to do in week 1, defeat Pogacar in a classics stage. Today was a classics race, and van Aert was fabulous. He was in that position only because they neutralized the times and Pogacar had won the larger race many many days ago. Context matters.
- Ah, Simon Yates, so quickly forgotten?
- It’s telling that only on the last day, on a classics style day, they broke Pogacar. Jorgensen and van Aert managed an appropriate 1-2, and Wout pulled it off. Good for them! But when it was Vingegaard on those classics days, in week 1, they never managed to beat him.
- I think this is the first time I have really seen him tired, as in bone exhausted, since he came on the scene. The Tour organizers built a path to remind him of past losses, he won, but it took him out. For all those who say he is d0ping in some fashion: look at the man, he won, and yet he’s broken.
- it is the equivalent to 2 cycling seasons I think. I guess my point is that Remco can win if he plans around Tadej, and maybe has a later career victory or two when Tadej is retired.
- for all of Quick-Step’s existence they win in the spring and take stages in the summer. it is a great formula - they are a european team with european sponsors. while we all might think TdF is all there is, in Belgium to win during the classics season is just as big a deal. I think the sponsors will be fine if they win 4 stages in every TdF, every year, and win a monument or two and a couple classics. I say I think they will be fine of course not knowing what each things, but they have been fine for the last 20 years with this formula
