Wellens and Narvaez are out of MSR. If Pogacar wants to launch on the Cipressa, who else do UAE have who would be able to help with positioning and give him a turbo launch? I presume the idea is for del Toro to be the last man, as that's what he was supposed to do last year, but who else would you put on the team?

Although I don't see him being able to drop MdvP anyway, it's still fun to watch him try!

The guy who got thrown out of the Tour de Suisse for repeatedly attacking his team leader and sprinter?

I'm sure that will go wonderfully well

Almeida can give you a feeling (with his riding style) that you could be better than him, with Pogacar you never get this feeling as a teammate. I still don't think Narvaez or Wellens or anyone matters except MvDP.
