It reminds me a bit about the comment from Roy Keane when asked if player x will be starting a game as his wife gave birth and he commented"he should be playing,he did not give birth did he" gerriemtb, TheoG and dsw 3

Only this time Jonas will have to do a lot more on his own without Roglic there. Sure WvA can help to land the knock out punch again, but the ground work will mostly be up to Jonas.

We've moved on a bit as society. If Wout is in green and still useful in the battle for yellow his responsibilities will be split between staying or going.

Frosty Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Pogačar will (probably) be wiser to the one-two attack from TJV, meaning they will have to try something else, that “surprise factor”, while also being mindful that UAD doesn’t do anything themselves. Yates and Pogačar could be the ones doing a one-two on Jonas. #minslaapies TheoG, Underachiever and Vetplant 3

Pagacar has the bigger matchbook, while he has the big mountains, but he is prone to burning matches in order to cover Pogacar for every attack, while in the high mountains so many of these attacks were frivolous and they both end up sitting up and the JV domestiques come back. If he's patient and uses his team to reel these long range moves back in at constant pace he'll take big time. Akon 1

Certain it should be Pidcock as hes by far the strongest unless Bernal has been holding back. Pidcock definitely seems more of a stage winner guy than going for overall glory but that’s never been the way of this team. Pretty sure the goal will be to win some stages and try to get Pidcock in Yellow at some point. I mean, stage one looks all set for a Pidcock/WvA, MvdP, Jalla show down. All could do with a win and A day or three in Yellow. Danny Martinez is probably the GC 'hopeful' but I'm guessing, by the make up of the team, they will be shooting for non GC goals this year.

Irvin85 Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 I expect Sepp Kuss to play a much bigger role during the tour and could potentially be JV second leader, especially with the minimal amount of TT in the tour. He saved himself during the Giro this year, only working for Roglic on one or two occasions. Vetplant and TheoG 2

Cant wait to see what unfold !!!! babse and Vetplant 2
