      I think Cian Uijtdebroeks will win the Vuelta24 "Sepp Kuss-style". He is young and I think he will add to his level this season. Visma LAB is currently a team that gets a bit extra out of riders that joins, if thats the case too with CU I think he will surprise many in the Vuelta.
      I dont think he is in talks of being on the belgian WC-team or olympics team, so the Vuelta will likely have his main focus as a domestique for Vingegaard if he participates, or Sepp Kuss. If CU is played out early in a break on a mountainous stage, i think he will gain a lot of time and hang on for the GC-win!.

Tadej will ride the Giro so Vingegaard has good chances to win the tdf again. So I don't see this as a hot take because it will likely happen

    I agree with most of them, but I think Visma-whoever will likely win at least one grand tour. Even without Roglich and with the “moneyball” team he will have at Borah, the odds are still stacked in Visma’s favor.
    .
    Regarding monument wins, Wout is physically capable, but his strength there will always be a little bit blunted as long as Visma keeps training him for and sending him to all the grand tours. He also has two big problems at the monuments that are known as Pogatchar and VanDerPoel.
    .
    You’re way off on San Remo. If anyone is going to win in the fashion that you described, it will be either Philippo Ganna, or Mads Pederson.

      If Vingegaard isn't great for one reason or another at the Tour and Vuelta (or has something happen during them), suddenly chances for Visma to win any GT are almost not existing, so that one is possible. They have essentially one real GT GC leader now.

    I most disagree with Quintana. There are 3 time trials in the Giro.
    I think Vollering is favourite over Kopecky in LBL, but could happen for sure. I think de Lie in MSr is a bit early for him, but will happen one or multiple times in the future for sure.
    Visma not winning a grand tour sounds nuts, but in fact they only have Jonas as a main contender. He could lose the Tour for sure, but if he rides Vuelta with Kuss at his side, I dont see him being beat there.
    One of mine would be van Baarle for his 2nd monument. But definitely hope Wout will win one too.

Wout won't have to recover as much because he isn't pushing for a super peak now.

    1-No: Jumbo will win at least one Grand Tour.
    2-Yes: Wout will win at least one monument. He kind of has to.
    3-Yes: That sounds plausible, if she starts and doesn't get injured or ill.
    4-No: That sounds a bit too much. Maybe two of three.
    5-Yes: I can see that, if he is on 100% form and fitness.
    6-No: It's of course possible, but there are too many other hungry riders going for this cake.
    7-Yes: Cavendish is declining since a few years. Maybe on a very lucky day, but rather not.
    8-No: Competition will be too strong. I can sse him being around fifth.

    I am really disappointed with Visma, the way they accepted that young rider who defected from Bora. And I agree, Dan, tho' Cav iss Mr. July and could pull out a surprise, it would have to be a surprise as no way is he on par with his peers and understandably so, Cav owned the previous decade and aside from his stunning four-win Tour of '21, this decade hasn't seen much of him as a winner and again, no knock on him, I'd like to see him get #35, and at least he achieved a tie for most stage wins. And as an aside, Tadej has a bunch of wins already, one has to wonder if he might go for that record.

    I'll step out further on a limb with Cav -- I don't know that he'll make it to the Tour much less get #35. The only reason he'll be allowed to go is to try for the record, which he won't get if he goes. Sprinting requires so much snap, and at age 39 even the greatest racers just don't have it any longer. My prediction is should he go to the Tour he won't finish any higher than 5th on a single stage, and when it becomes evident he won't get the record, he'll abandon. Prove me wrong.

Arnaud de Lie will win Paris Roubaix ... Wout will take E3 Harelbeke and the Ronde... MVdP will repeat Strada and podium San Remo... sorry Poggi and Primoz, no TDF for you, Jonas will win again.... The Giro... Sepp Kuss..? I cant see Ineos having much of a year again, Piddock might win something, maybe Amstel. Remco will win the Vuelta again, if he feels like and and doesn't crack the shits over something or another..
    Primoz may not get his way this year, depends on his team, but Jumbo's depth and experience will be enough, although Bora made a good fist of it last year, Jonas can out climb him and has proven to be a more than adequate TT'er, plus his age.
    Cian Uijtdebroeks will win Flèche Wallone, the guy is a monster, or he'll take a stage or two, he's racing the Tour, isn't he..?
