Is it possible that Pogacar is peaked too soon or can he maintain this for another week, then a month "break", then the TDF for 21 days? I don't really know how long a guy like that can stay at his peak before the tank is empty.

Also, if he starts the TDF on fire, how many stages before people ask if he'll go for the triple? First four stages are: hills, hills, flat, mountains. If he's in yellow after stage 4, there may be some hype. Stage 7 is ITT.

I think after the Tour win or lose Pog will be focused on the World Championships considering the course this year. That's a bigger prize than the Vuelta.

But yeah, with reports that Jonas is ahead of schedule with his preparation after the crash, being a little undertrained going into the Tour could benefit him in the third week. The opening 9 days of the Tour to the rest day is not easy this year though.
