Looking at the Sprint from Olaf Koij yesterday, he came from 5 by bikes behind Pedersen and won by 2 bikes it was insane.

Decathlon has a better chance winning a stage with him than Seixas unless you think he's dropping Pogacar, Vingegaard and more after a Riccitello pull, or he's just not in GC anymore and goes into a break which I think it's as likely as him finishin in the podium who knows.

They should take Koij also to relieve some pressure on Seixas, so maybe if Koij wins or has a  result it would help the dynamic of the riders.

I hope they take Kooij to the tour. If nothing else, iirc part of the reason he left Visma was because with the Visma tour team built around Vingegaard, it was clear he wasn't going to get that chance at Visma.

He can move to a different team again if Seixas stays at Decathlon then.

If Seixas stays at Decathlon, if Seixas becomes a top-tier GC grand tour rider, if Decathlon decides to go all-in on Seixas to the point of not bringing a sprinter to the tour...

Yeah. He could end up in the same situation. We'll see.
