First of all, let me say that I've always believed that an athlete should never lose their position due to injury. Therefore, Wout Van Asphalt will remain as Mongo's "Guy" going into the 2025 season.
You may be saying to yourself that with three wins in the Vuelta a Espana shouldn't his position be unquestioned? Well...no!
Let's keep it "a hunned"...There is better competition in an unsanctioned, Cat 4 alley cat scramble. The Vuelta is the Florida of Grand Tours. Has beens, wannabees, dopers, old guys, young guys, domestiques looking for their chance at glory...it has it all. If any Tour de France level winner shows up, no one else has a shot. Otherwise, it's like a Saturday night at Club Juana in Orlando...anything is possible.
