He's got another year on his Soudal-Quick Step contract.ddraver said:ou est Alaphillipe..?
Of all the riders he was the least Jumbo Visma. I could believe he made other plans
(why they wouldn't be announced yet is harder to understand tho)We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

I see Sir Jim is buying 25% of Manchester UTD for £1.2 billion. Wonder if that’s got some bearing on the budget?

2024 - GT for the Giro and C Rod for the Tour again before winging the Vuelta seems a re-run of this year and clutching at straws. Maybe the Classics will offer them more?2020/2021/2022 Metric Century Challenge Winner1

Pidders doing Le Tour and defending his Olympic MTB gold. Busy month or so.1
-
Well Ganna isn't riding the Tour as he wants to be peaking for the Olympic track program, so it's feasible he might give the classics a thorough go. Hopefully Ben Turner shows the promise of 2022 as well. Not sure how much will be on Pidcock's program, given he will be riding the Tour and then straight into Olympic MTBWarning No formatter is installed for the format0

That does seem very underwhelming.
Mind you, if Rog and Remco are not at the Giro, and instead are targeting the Tour, perhaps G would have an even better chance.
I'd like to see Ganna competing in the Olympic road TT as well, wonder if he will/can.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Re Ganna, I assume he'll want to do the Giro as (I think) there are two flattish ITT stages and it's ideally timed relative to the OGs. (Thomas and Kennaugh both rode the 2012 Giro as part of their OG Team Pursuit preparations.)

GT said on his podcast he’s looking at Giro primarily and for reasons you said, it makes sense. Maybe up against TGH?daniel_b said:

C Rod is Ineos’ only other rider to aim for Le Tour, right?2020/2021/2022 Metric Century Challenge Winner1 -
Assuming Bernal is finished as a serious contender.1

Pog is rumoured to be considering the Giro/Tour double.1

I hadn't considered the pitted against TGH potential, though whether he could be back to full fitness by then I do wonder - is he even back on a bike yet has anyone seen?carbonclem said:

I can't think of anyone, if Thomas is not riding the Tour, as a potential top 10 rider, Pidcock as an outside shot I guess, but I really don't see that as being his bag, and presumably he'd want to/need to keep a little something in reserve for the MTB race.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

Tbh any Ineos rider finishing top 10 in Le Tour 2024 is exceeding expectations.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Indeed spot on, I was very aware of C Rod, but clearly forgot when typing.gsk82 said:

In my head I was thinking that there was no other rider apart from C Rod (If Thomas was not taking part) who I could see with top 10 potential.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

Pidcock gave an interview this week saying he really only enjoys Mountain Biking and doesn't want to drop that to focus fully on the road yet.daniel_b said:

Put it this way, he could ride the Giro and Tour and win the Giro and get on the podium in France, or he could skip the Giro and get on the podium in France.m.r.m. said:

What are the chances that Pogacar has to dig really deep to win the Giro, Vingegaard crashes and breaks his collarbone at the Dauphine and is forced to sit out the Tour, then someone else, probably Sepp Kuss, beats him in the Tour?No_Ta_Doctor said:0 -
Slim.
Kuss isn’t that good.1 -
I agree with this scenario; but if he seriously thinks he can beat Vingegaard at the Tour, he will need to focus on it.No_Ta_Doctor said:
It's not like other riders who won the Tour didn't also want to win other stuff.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230 -
Given that he came into the Tour this year with far from ideal preparation, and was the equal to Vingegaard until the final week, he really ought to go all in for Tour next year.
He's plenty of time left to have a proper crack at the Giro.1 -
The final week is what Vingegaard is all about though, he needs to be way ahead by thenandyp said:Given that he came into the Tour this year with far from ideal preparation, and was the equal to Vingegaard until the final week, he really ought to go all in for Tour next year.
