Yes most likely outcome - Pog attacked hard last year on the Poggio iirc and nothing really stuck, too easy a gradient to drop an elite group.
He's a great descender (obv) but not known as a guy to throw something really wild down on a descent, so attacking on the downslope feels less likely. The lad knows how to win though! Wouldn't surprise me if he found a way.

When they often have to brake around the corners going up the Poggio you can tell it's not super selective. Also, it's largely a "nice to have" for Pog, so I can't see him risking it all on the descent and risk crashing out of the Tour later in the year. Maybe he'll do a Pantani and attack on the Cipressa.

It was dry for most of Jan/Feb
Turbo in the morning/evening during the week, maybe 90-120mins.
Long spins on Friday evening and/or Sat/Sunday morning.

Once you've the right gear the only thing that stops me is heavy rain

My dad was a racer.
Time trialing was his specialty. I'm too much of a wuss and stuck to table tennis. Takes some kind of person to put yourself through that pain. Chapeau ami
 
Fair to say Wout is looking in decent nick from E3 and GW. Would love to see him win either the Ronde or Paris-Roubaix next week - he'll prob start fav for PR with Pog and vdP favoured for RVV.

This guy gets unprecedented access to WvA analysing RVV from a couple of years back for his youtube channel (and spoils it with a lame clickbait title) - nice analysis from the man himself.
