guys, i was doing some research as i remember last year jumbo visma also Made The Race Hard to benefit their guy over uae's guy

but then i looked at the results of the final mountain stages that would benefit vingegaard

>stage 14 - 4050 vertical meters - mtf: vingegaard +39"
>stage 15 - 5071 vertical meters - mtf: vingegaard +1'08"
>stage 19 - 4512 vertical meters - mtf: vingeaard +1'42"
>stage 20 - 4748 vertical meters - mtf: vingegaard +7"
>stage 21 - 720 vertial meters (ITT) - vingegaard +1'02"

i do think the opening week is harder this year, except that gravel stage they last year, but i'm not sure why visma lab think they're going to wear out pogacar somehow over their own guy
