Not a chance in hell. Not with guys like Jonas still in the picture.

Definately would not give it a zero chance. Assuming Tadej wins the Giro, all pressure is off, and with UAE bringing a team of GC contenders setting bombs each climbing day, VLAB(is that what we call them now?) may just crack. Remember no Wout and each of Jonas's wins has been on the back of a mega effort of Wout. (Cobble stage 2023, Hautacam 2022)
 
A very tough week for the sport. And PR tomorrow let's hope we make it through that without anything serious.
 
Pogacar smashing it in his first Giro.

And my money is also def on him again for another TDF victory this year. Don't let me down lol. Too many injured rivals and I don't think Vingegaard will be ready or in good shape with his injuries and whatnot. He's only recently climbed back on his bike. Who knows, he might not even take part this year.

Anyway, not gonna be the best TDF with all the injuries and Olympics forcing them to skip Paris but still looking forward to it :(

That man is a machine. He's winning stages at will at the moment. I really hope he gets another TdF, but ideally against a full peloton. It will be a hollow victory if Vingegaard isn't there.

It's a nice change up having the Tour end on a TT this year.
 
Italy done and dusted for Tadej. France next :)

Edit: Haha, Milan's champagne bottle flying off the podium :ROFL:

Even more crashes for Roglic, Evenepoel. Super slippery roads in the Dauphine. Luckily doesn't look like anything serious for them at least. Not long to go till the tdf and Olympics, would suck to get injured again now.

When do we get finality on whether Jonas will be at the start line?

No idea. Article about that in the guide lol.

His team says it's still fifty-fifty for both him and Wout. That's the latest update I can find anyway.
 
Bah road cycling. Mountain bike cross country, Candice Lill (SA) 3rd and Alan Hatherly (SA) 2nd in France. Great results.
