    Feels a good time to wheel out the fact Ben Healy's dad used to be training partners with me again.

    Healy has had an incredible half a week.
    Pogacar turns up, Pogacar wins is the story of 2023 so far.

    11 wins from 17 race days, it’s incredible.

    It's boring yet fantastic in equal measures.

    Very odd.

    Healy looks to only be contracted until the end of this year - I wonder if some of the big teams are already sniffing around looking to sign him up.

    2 of those 11 are gc wins, so it's 9 winning days from 17.

    When you put it like that, he really needs to pull his finger out. Is he finished?

    What's Rog's strike rate this year? Seems like he's won a lot when he's raced.

    5 wins from 14 days (plus 2 GCs).

    He had three 2nd places in Catalunya, one where Evenepoel cracked him, one where Ciccone surprised them and one where he didn't try against Evenepoel.

    The difference though is that Roglic (as great as he is) hasn't really raced anything that matters this year outside of TA.

    The Volta is still a WT race, and he had to beat Evenepoel there (yes, yes, I know technically the Tour of Basque Country is also WT, but there was no one there other than Vingegaard this year)
