According to his coaches, he is definitely NOT tdf ready. He is still quite a few KG overweight and has a big recovery period as he is fatigued from the injury recovery and the simultaneous training load DieselnDust and Vetplant 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no correlation. Tapentadol is not new or meaningfully different as a painkiller. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was referring to you comment .... Modern medicine is truly incredible. But numbing the pain can defiantly help aid an athlete return quicker than normal.

peepeekaitjie Posted June 13 Share Jonas Vingegaard unlikely to ride Vuelta due to family circumstances Translation: Also good news for troubled Visma-Lease a Bike: positive signals regarding Tour participation Van Aert and Vingegaard Although Visma-Lease a Bike indicates that it will only decide very late whether defending champion Jonas Vingegaard will ride the Tour, the signals are increasingly positive. The stars are also getting better about Wout van Aert. According to Danish and Italian sources, Jonas Vingegaard has significantly increased his time trial training during his altitude training camp in Tignes. A good sign. His participation in the Vuelta is now in doubt due to family circumstances, which means that he would only have a Grand Tour in his legs this year by riding the Tour. During the second week of his altitude internship in Tignes, Wout van Aert completed a training session of more than seven hours (188.58 km for 4,860 meters of altitude) together with Christophe Laporte on Tuesday. The kind of training work you do in the run-up to an important race. Van Aert will also not defend his title at the Belgian Time Trial Championships. He will only return home two days before the Belgian Championship road race in Zottegem (23/6) to stay in Tignes as long as possible and to have the best possible Tour preparation. https://www.hln.be/tour-de-france/ook-goed-nieuws-voor-geplaagd-visma-lease-a-bike-positieve-signalen-rond-tour-deelname-van-aert-en-vingegaard~a60c38b5/ betaboy, BuffsVintageBikes and Vetplant 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betaboy Posted June 13 Share I doubt his going to be at his best… he might do a sponsorship contract to show face and bail on the Alps so at least Christmas shopping is covered. I see a podium of new players… definitely not Remco. Will be an amazing TDF if Pogi cracks from Giro fever.🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
