Title: Quick TCAT thoughts
Post by: Glüc on July 03, 2025, 04:08:31 PM
Ok, without going into too much depths, some initial thoughts on some potential TCAT picks


Allrounders:

Pogacar (32) - He's probably gonna win and score loads of points while doing that. Obviously he's also really expensive, so the questions is will he be worth it?

Vingegaard (24) - Pretty solid alternative to Pogacar. Form seems good

Evenepoel (18) - Likely podium and a stagewin. Not a bad pick, but I'm not convinced

Almeida (16) - Will be working for Pogacar. Still a reasonably safe pick but there are better options

Roglic (14) - History tells us to never pick Roglic, but he's soo cheap this time. If you like to take a risk go for it, but prepare to be disappointed.

Lipowitz (12) - Will be working for Roglic, maybe, but has been in really good form, so worth a shot

Jorgenson (12) - Will be working for Vingegaard. I prefer Lipowitz

Johannessen (10) - Interesting pick. Might do nothing, but could also win a stage and end high in GC.

Adam Yates (10) - Don't think so

Arensman (8) - I keep picking him, but he keeps disappointing lately

Van Eetvelt (6) - Usually better to spend big on allrounders, but if you need a budget pick, Van Eetvelt is probably your best option

Sprinters

Philipsen (12) I'm not convinced Philipsen is the best pick at the moment, considering the form of Milan and Merlier this year

Milan (12) More versatile than Philipsen

Merlier (10) Faster than Philipsen

Girmay (8) Would have been a great pick last year, but very risky

Meeus (8) In great form at the moment. Might be a very good pick

There are loads of interesting 6c options, but hard to figure out which one is best.
-Van Poppel might be the fastest and is in good form, but he'll be a leadout for Meeus, so probably not a great pick.

-Lund Andresen,
-Van den Berg and
-Jeanniere are probably the ones Id consider.
