- Vamos Pedersen! El más completo en las etapas mixtas. Si aguanta la montaña media y suma intermedios, puede ganar el verde por regularidad.

- Not sure the piece gives Kooij enough credit—he’s looked sharper since Mayenne. If Decathlon CMA CGM commit a full train, he can clean up on the 70-point days. Saying it “aligns less” with Seixas feels off, tbh.

- Love the shout for Dorian Godon. If he scoops consistent top-6 on transitions and nicks intermediate sprints, he’s a sleeper for green, especially if Merlier only targets the drag races.

- Are Category 1 and 2 the same as “flat” vs “semi-flat”? Bit confused why Paris is Cat 2 now—does that mean fewer points available on the Champs-Élysées compared to the other pancake stages?

- Great breakdown of the new points scale. Bumping flat stage wins to 70 massively shifts the incentives back to the pure sprinters. Philipsen plus MvdP pilot fish is terrifying on stages 5/7/8/11/

- Increíble actuación de Pogacar. Si en junio ya marca casi 7 w/kg, en el Tour va a volar. Respeto para Martinez también, enorme valentía.

- So if he’s at95 w/kg for the segment, what would Vingegaard need to beat that on a similar climb?1? Is that realistic after his crash recovery?

- Pogacar letting Decathlon CMA CGM do the grunt work was cold-blooded. Then he nukes it with 9k to go, reels in Martinez by almost two minutes. That’s the move of a guy thinking yellow, not just Swiss glory.

- Great piece but tiny quibble: comparing this to Plateau de Beille feels off without identical conditions (temp, wind, draft, road surface). Apples and oranges unless we adjust for density and pacing.

- Wait, is VAM like average speed on the climb? And how do they even estimate his watts if they don’t have the actual power file?
