But it doesn't change my view on the strength of Wismar at the Tour de France.

It's Del Toro that changes my view.

Well, to be honest, not really.

Like, I expected Del Toro to be a GC-level luxury domestique at the Tour de France, regardless of what we saw here at the Dauphine, you know?

So I don't think this changes my view about UAE and Wismar going into the Tour de France too much, because at the end of the day...

My take was always that Pogacar and Yui would be the strongest ones going into the race.

And I have heard many people kind of foster the idea of Pogacar went to the classics with a bit higher weight to try and focus on the classics.

There's truth in that.

Romandy displayed that as well, but I think he's gonna be just fine at the Tour de France.

So hopefully we see Pogacar and Vingegaard at their best against each other and their support as well.

and their support is seemingly on the level I expected.

Can I be completely honest?

Wout van Aert with his elbow injury at the moment, I think, maybe a swollen elbow, who might miss out on the Wismar training camp is what I read on social media in the last few days.

I don't think Wout van Aert is essential for Wismar Lisebijk's Tour de France team, especially if you look at the last two years, where Wout actually didn't play that key role at the Tour de France for Vingegaard.

Last year, he came into the Tour de France undercooked, and his best day was the day where he rode for himself, which I'm not saying that he's selfish and only good when he rides for himself.

We've seen in 2022 that's not the case, but he is a replaceable part of the Wismar Lisebijk Tour team in 2026.

Is that controversial?

I think Hagener's was better.

The problem is that...

Fismalisa don't have anyone in the Tour de France squad that is that Isaac del Toro level on every single day.
