He last won a monument in August 2020. His great ‘rival’ has won 8 monuments since, as has Pog.

I'm think he may be in great shape for the giro
Is Mads then not doing the Tour? Is that because of Trek then focusing on Milan? Seems they could easily coexist, but then again I'm not sure how serious they are about Skjelmose' GC chances and them then picking more pure climbers to support that.
For a time it seemed that Team Sky had changed the meta to have the entire team revolve only around the GC with only climbers, as few rouleurs as possible and to omit a sprinter entirely.
