    Thanks Pat for this excellent overview. On the issue of Roglic its clear he is not at the level has has been at in the past and IMO I don't think he has recovered fully from the back injury sustained on stage 6 of the TDF. If you watch him when he is off the bike - he is stiff with a slightly hunched posture.

      Please be more specific. What's the difference exactly in terms of muscle groups? w/kg is w/kg. You have a slightly lower natural cadence on the hills, however, this is mostly down to individual preference and bike fit, and if you have the gearing you can spin the whole way as plenty of cyclists have done in the past. I mostly prefer shorter efforts at a higher cadence, but I ride a few hills and my body gets used to lower cadences astonishingly quickly.

    The Vuelta is clearly an afterthought for jumbo visma. Honestly, Jumbo shouldn’t have put Primo Rologic in the Vuelta, especially after having him peak for the tour. They should have had him target next years giro.

      How convenient La Vuelta becomes an afterthought the year Roglic can't win it.

      @@Nifava Jumbo is clearly in a predicament. Now that Jonas won the Tour de France, Jumbo is going to be worried that Roglic will move to another team unless they get him a grand tour victory. They are trying to fulfill two agendas with one team.

    Usually not my thing to complain,but what have UAE done so far to help João Almeida?
    We all expected Soler to be Soler and don't give a crap about anybody,but where's the rest of the team?

      Why should they help Almeida, he's not the best in that team. He should realise he can be a good domestique but never the winner of a grand tour

    Evenepoel gives the lie to needing to start young as a bike racer, he has a huge motor, end of story, it's a strange sport, amazing motors and amazing downhill crashes........because most of these late bloomers can't descend. How often do you see Sagan or Allaphillipe crash on descents, relatively rare. Think of sports like swimming, golf, soccer, tennis, you start late, you NEVER make it as a pro. Still glad to see such good young talent, it's probably a golden age of cycling with Bernal, Pogecar, Evenepoel, Ayuso, etc. Just beasts (with most except Pogecar having huge, terrible crashes)

    What changed with remco this time? He wasn’t able to hold great performance for 3 weeks but all of a sudden he’s putting it together. And is roglic just not in form? I don’t see how remco is that much better than him

      Notice how his acceleration has dropped off? He went all in on steep Mountain passes. He trained on a 12km 10.5 percent mountain.

      Well first of all this is Remco's first grand tour with a decent preparation, for the Giro last year he should have never been allowed to start. Secondly, it's still 2 weeks but the haters who would like to see him crack, I don't think he will based on his preparation. He's got a really good solid base and should be able to sustain this. But yeah it's still long and the biggest tests are yet to come. I see Ayuso as potentially the biggest threat, Roglic will probably crack based on his limited preparation for the Vuelta
