May of next year.
Jacob will win everything next year or at least run the race tactically to never have to go below 3:30 or 12:50.

I think he will try to participate in some fast races after Worlds next year according to what he stated himself at the end this season.
2024 will be more difficult with both Olympics and European Champs. But new chances again in 2025.
Provided he stays healthy and motivated.
Jakob has had opportunities. What you see is what you get. He has run fast. He will not run much faster.
The nest off year in 2026 will be a great opportunity for him
He hasn't had the opportunity to run a fast 1500m at Monaco since 2019.
2020 - no Monaco due to lockdowns
2021 - Picked up a virus the week before Monaco (still ran 3:29).
2022 - No 1500m at Monaco.
Even in 2019, Gentleman Tim deliberately slowed the pace down in the 3rd lap.
The track was relaid in 2019. Expect Jakob to run 3:27 low next year.
He had the opportunity to run fast at Worlds but lost to Jake.

Monaco happened in 2020. He ran 328.
He'll have lots of chances to run fast inside and outside next year. Personally I want to see him destroy the inside record(s) in Boston.

In 2019, Jakob was still too weak to pass a slowing down Tim.

In 2020 there was a Monaco meet.
But it's not forbidden to run fast somewhere else.
