- Van der Poel can sustain a super high power, that's how he won Paris-Roubaix (though his superb bike handling was equally important). That's why I think he could potentially play an important role for GC, just like Wout has done
- Yes, that is quite obvious (not wanting to be patronising), but everyone knows how similar Van Aert and Van der Poel are - and yet they have different roles, in which they are very successful. Van der Poel has said that he doesn't have the liking for the Tour de France grind, unlike Van Aert
- Some riders mature later than others, he's Tadej's age, so maybe he is starting to find his best form.
- Don’t follow these guys much but don’t recall many tipping for Jonas the times he won. Only a fool would say it’s out of the question.
- AND lead-out for the sprinter? I think in the mountains Wout is a little more useful (and probably enjoys climbing a bit more) and generally that’s where it counts in GTs
- Mathieu to win Stages 2, 4, 6, 7, 15 and 20
- Probably, and nobody knows how long JA’s good form may continue, though he’s kind of started to ride like he’s Pog’s cousin this year, have UAE uncovered some new advantages?
- They should have included Ben Tulett - I'd put Tulett on par with Pavel Sivakov of UAD.
- I wonder how well Mathieu van der Poel could play a Wout van Aert style role as a super domestíque - what would it be like if Alpecin-deceuninck had a GC rider?
- Maybe but I think that's stretching it, Remco will be in top form for the start of the Tour.
