Tadej is about to win his fourth Tour at the age of 26.

Froome won his first Tour at the age of 28.

Lance won his first Tour at the age of 27.

Merckx won his fourth at the age of 27.

Tadej also seems blessed with a strong immune system. He apparently has a cold/cough now, but is dealing with it well enough.

He has excellent positioning and bike skills so few crashes.

And he seems to have a healthy mental attitude, which helps avoid illness and maximize the benefits of training and race performance.

My appreciation of Tadej is increasing every month.

I do hope that Tadej wins the GC battle as I think he is great for the sport, but I’m reminded of the 2018 Giro when Simon Yates was in a similar position only to see victory ripped away in the final mountain stage. Here’s hoping Tadej gets to the top of La Plagne on stage 19 and still retains yellow.
