    67-68kg looking at him

    Just an Example of performance factors here - TDU which is an early season race, not super deep in depth but very competitive with short stages. For a short effort of 10min that you need to be competitive at to be in the mix for GC you need to be doing 10min at and over 7w/kg +. If not, you filling the field. However, also remember this is also after the stage and +- 3000kj or work which in WT level is not alot at all when you having to do this after 4000kj + in a GT and 20min at 6.5-6.8W/kg after this energy consumption multiple days at a WT level race or stage race. There is a big big difference here. Take all the durability, power into account, then you need to be able to surf and place in the peloton - this energy consuming wise is huge if you cant surf a peloton.

    The gap of the understanding of what the level of the Tour alone is, is that big for starters. Never mind any rider going Top 50. top 20 is another whole conversation

    20 or 50 GC at the Tour? please stop typing.
  5. J Wakefield
    Bud, it’s the Tour.

    Not a option

    Their roster is not full, he would do selected road races and selected XCO if this is his path

    Only pays more IF a team sees the value amount in the rider. In a case like this typically the MTB team pays the salary, not the road team. In some cases XCO can / does pay more. Can have the XCO rider not be better due to many variables. Cink is an example. Not everyone in XCO is Pidock and he doesnt transfer both ways

    I really thought “I told you so” would have made it into TheHub history… But alas.
