Where it's just like, "Well, whatever happened to, where is Marc Solaire right now?" You know? What's he doing?

Yeah.

I, I think, like, you know, the, the next thing I w- wanna say about that, like, when you're making the decision to go here, just like you said, you go on social media and you look at any good performance, Tade or whoever, you look at the comments, you talk to people, and you're not talking to people that are in the Tour de France.

You're not talking to me, someone that did dope, and say, "Don't do it 'cause it's not worth it." You're talking to people that don't know, right? You don't have access to me.

You don't have access to any of these people.

You only have access to people who have no fucking idea.

And those people are saying, "Oh, yeah, those guys are doping.

We'll put links to Tom's social medias, and, yeah, let's go back to watching the bike race.

But it didn't look like he was going to come out of that super torched, super fatigued, and he had enough time for the Tour.

I think you're right on the fact that doubling up and really going for the Giro and winning the Giro and taking that crown, getting the three...

Grand Tour wins on your results, you know, that was an easy thing for them to achieve.

And I think at this point, they're really kind of trying everything over in the Wiesman camp, right? You know, they're trying different riders, they're trying different tactics, they're trying different race preparations.

Jonas is riding around with hair on his legs right now, right? They're extra relaxed now whereas before they were very uptight and like an army before and I think you've got to do that right like if you're trying to get better and you're trying to get in the game but you know at the end of the day like I think Tadej is just a better rider and you know different ways to prepare to get to a certain level um you know these guys know how to do it right i said this a year before but it is really between these two and the top of the world tour it is an arms race It is who can build the craziest zones possible and who can make these zone combinations of fitness in places that no one has expected it before.

Attacking at base of these climbs, riding higher threshold numbers than ever before.

We're in this age of data where we know what all these riders are doing.

Right.
