A few weeks ago, after he had won the Giro d'Italia, I wrote about how Jonas Vingegaard had probably had his strongest Tour de France preparation yet, but we were still none the wiser about what that means in comparison to Tadej Pogačar.
That's a view I still stand by, but as we approach the start of the Tour de France, the more I see people asserting that Vingegaard simply has no chance against Pogačar, and the more I think that's a really wild assumption to make.
