Dauphine would be best, but if he isn’t ready yet I don’t mind him doing a bit more altitude training. The goal is TDF, and he should do whatever is best for that.should be Dauphine. Actually have a decent TT there. TTs are much shorter than normal at Suisse
I just hope that he can get back to a strong level of fitness, and that the crash hasn't slowed down his progress towards TDFDauphine would be best, but if he isn’t ready yet I don’t mind him doing a bit more altitude training. The goal is TDF, and he should do whatever is best for that.
Unless they are lying he should be fine. He’s already training outside again.I just hope that he can get back to a strong level of fitness, and that the crash hasn't slowed down his progress towards TDF
His training today looks very reassuring to me. We will see him in the Dauphine.Unless they are lying he should be fine. He’s already training outside again.
TT could be a little harder on that collarbone unless it's completely stable, especially with Remco's position on the bike.should be Dauphine. Actually have a decent TT there. TTs are much shorter than normal at Suisse
Probably not that much for the TDF results but the GC fitness he'll have to reconfirm for himself.I just hope that he can get back to a strong level of fitness, and that the crash hasn't slowed down his progress towards TDF
Remco, Mathieu and Poggi park the peloton at Poggio.During an interview with Lefevere he said that after another lacklustre Roubaix Evenepoel texted him that he would like to focus on more classics next season. He might race MSR and De Ronde next year.
He will only ride Dauphiné when ready. The TT is not an argument at all in the actual circumstances.should be Dauphine. Actually have a decent TT there. TTs are much shorter than normal at Suisse
Indeed. After being dropped (10 seconds or more) on la Redoute, one has to recover. Losing another 15 to 20 seconds (maybe even being overtaken by the group behind) in the next kilometers. Coming back a bit on grinta and TT-modus before the "Roche aux faucons". Losing time again on the climb. So, losing time (15 to 20 seconds) on la Redoute, it will not be possible (for Evenepoel or vice-versa Pogacar) to come back. But only losing 5 seconds, either Evenepoel or Poga will come back. Resulting in an attack with two and sprinting for victory.I also don’t think Pogacar would drop Evenepoel or Roglic on LBL on sunday, and i don’t think Pogacar is much more stronger than the past years, in the sense he can get big gaps against his opponents.
Of course Pogacar is pushing more watts this year, compared to last year, but everybody in the peloton is pushing more watts, year after year, so all gets balanced.
The scenario they were talking about is if after some climb, like for example cote de la redoute, where Pogacar gets 5/10 s on Evenepoel, if more later in the flat section, Evenepoel can close the gap.
Well, in my opinion, i don’t think he could, and i would think the same if it's vice versa, because when you are dropped, it means you are in the red, and the rider who get's in front, is more fresher. It's a different scenario from a ITT where naturally, Evenepoel will beat Pogacar.
But all depends on if the rider tried to follow the other one and completely went in the red, or set his own pace.Indeed. After being dropped (10 seconds or more) on la Redoute, one has to recover.

Neither Evenepoel nor Pogacar would have set their own pace, but would have gone go to the limit to come back or only losing a few seconds at the top of la Redoute.But all depends on if the rider tried to follow the other one and completely went in the red, or set his own pace.
I agree, both of them also never had to go to their limit to stay away from others. So it could be that they just follow each otherNeither Evenepoel nor Pogacar would have set their own pace, but would have gone go to the limit to come back or only losing a few seconds at the top of la Redoute.
3 days without Remco news is too much?Any updates?
Getting himself ready for the team altitude camp in May, I'd assume.3 days without Remco news is too much?
I can tell you he's at home doing long outdoor rides again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes, his 2nd luitenant for the TDF beat Ayuso, Yates, Yates, Hindley, Hart, Mas, Bernal, Gaudu, Carapaz, Martinez, Sivakov and Arensman in Romandie.Any updates?
None, quiet as a mouse.Any updates?
