- Jonas has a completely different personality than Pogi. Pogi can handle the pressure on all terrains. Pogi also loves his peace and quiet. And by the way, you can have your Casio watch. I will take several of the Richard Mille watches. Pogi is charismatic and humble, and always thanks his teammates for everything they sacrifice for him. Jonas probably does the same, but is much more private. Both are great, great riders, and I can't wait for The Tour De France this year! We are going over for two weeks. Go Pogi!

- That's right, Giannetti said that Almeida and Ayuso asked to go to the 2024 TdF. They told them that Tadej was the only captain then if they went, they would be domestiques. Both accepted. Almeida kept his word, but Ayuso was a traitor. As soon as he realized he couldn't play his game , hiding at the back of the peloto, watching his classification, he got "COVID" (in summer, at 40 °C), leaving his team with a man less.
