No If you win the Tour de France, fans would love to see you compete in the Vuelta a Espana. Is that something you would consider with this year also featuring the Olympics as well as the World Championships? “I don’t think so, no. One day I would love to wear the red jersey, but I can assure you that the Giro-Tour-Vuelta triple is not on the program this year. Winning every Grand Tour is a major goal for me, but to do it in the same year is perhaps a little too crazy. As you said it is also an Olympic year and there is the World Championships too. I think after the Tour we will see but the main goal will be the World Championships.” Zebra and Vetplant 1 1

I so hoped that the top 4 will go to the Tour with the perfect preparations and that after 3 weeks the strongest will stand on top of the podium, without any illness or crashes effecting the race.

Wout and other sprinters are not on the form required to keep these two out of the mix. IMHO Rowl, Underachiever and DieselnDust 2 1

Not only is Wout not in the best form to compete against the Alpecin boys but he has his work cut out with GC Kuss not available for Jonas. Hoping Bini atleast can win one of those stages. Unrelated to the sprinters, I'm interested to see the TJV's tactics for stage 9 (gravel) after what we saw in 2022. Musical chairs/bikes DieselnDust and Vetplant 1 1
