The Ghost Posted March 8, 2021 Share I am telling myself that Wout is about three weeks behind MvdP in his plan to peak, given that he already has a SB and MSR victory under his belt, he might be targeting the other big Classics instead. [emoji1696]Apparently he still needs to lose the weight he gained during the CX season before being at his best on the road.

TNT1 Posted March 8, 2021 Share I am telling myself that Wout is about three weeks behind MvdP in his plan to peak, given that he already has a SB and MSR victory under his belt, he might be targeting the other big Classics instead. I read it in a similar way. Also, MvdP is targeting mtb and whatnot at the olympics, whilst Wout is targeting a green jersey and stage wains (and helping Primoz smoke Bernal in the mountains again) at the Tour. Different goals 3-4 months down the road will have them at different points in their preparation now. peetwindhoek, Vetplant and Long Wheel Base 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpecin-Fenix have already said they are targeting the first week of the TdF, so expect exciting, explosive and super hard racing from MVP. Depending on how he is feeling, the latter part of the TdF will be a training week for him to prep for the Olympics. Agree WvA targeting some jersey at the TdF.

Frosty Posted March 8, 2021 Share Wout said the green jersey is not on the cards this year. If it happens as a result of him being able to win a stage here or there, then yes, but not at the expense of Roglic. I’ll find the podcast, and you can hear it from his own mouth.

Frosty Posted March 8, 2021 Share Wout has also been on an altitude training camp with the Team, so he perhaps doesn’t have one day racing legs in him at this point. I agree that he’s a few weeks from hitting a peak. Gen, Underachiever and Vetplant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVDP's attack in Siena is the exact same attack he used on Nino I think 2 year's back in a WC race - VDP won of course. VDP is now 2 years stronger.... and Nino.... I can't wait for the WC events.

Hello he's been doing that for fun for some time now. [emoji23] Underachiever, peetwindhoek and Vetplant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
