Yes💪 After missing out on stage one and a lot of bad luck with crashes and Cattaneo abandon, we have to be super happy with 3 stage wins so far😃 Now it will be very interesting to see how Remco will go in the mountains. On the negative side he has used more energy than Pog and Vinge so far. On...

The best TT Pog has ever rode i believe. Their DS said the same. I was quite surprised of how technical the course was, not only at the start and finish, where i believe Pog took all together 8-10 seconds on Remco, even though Remco was actually pretty good technical today. Pog was flying into...

Like we saw yesterday and we will see in all other stages that is not pure sprint stages or a TT. Merlier and Van Leberghe will comit 100% to Remco and the team for as long as they can. Tomorrow we will see those two helping Remco out with bottles, positioning etc before they ease off when the...

I’m with you on the marginal gains, but 30 minutes behind Eenkhoorn who is twice the size of him is more like pacing behind a motorbike for Remco, nice training to hit peak form before the TT and to stay in a good position! Unfortunatelly he tend to be the worst two days after a crash, so lets...

Remco and the team can not do a thing right in most of yours head!The team did great work putting Remco near the front from Km 25 until 4K left, which normally is a very good idea, he got super unlucky with the crash infront of him after they eased up a bit!Cattaneo and Eenkhorn rode their heart...

It is only one way to respond to this bad start and that is for Remco to attack with menace tomorrow!Like i said in a earlier post, the team looked pretty physically strong today before they totally fell asleep in the end!The question is when to attack! Personally i would let the other teams...

Agreed!What is the point of being really attentative in the first part of the stage, and totally turned off in the last decisive part!I cant get my head around this one, he should have been easy with the first group. Merlier and Van Lerberghe was in a good position only a couple of kilometers...

Yes. He had plenty of oppurtunities 1-15k before the last wind sector to move up in the peleton!Either he is sick or else is an incredible amateurish tactical mistake by him and the team!Really strange as the team looked good in the earlier wind sectors with Cattaneo,Eenkhoorn,Remco,Schachmann...

What the *** was that? Either he is sick or he did that on purpose..He didnt even help to pull the second group one time?Flat road and sidewind should be walk in the park for the best TT’er in the world!Something really wrong here

A little bit disapointing to only beat Vermeersch with 1:11, although he is a strong in form rider. Hopefully Remco had something more left in the tank!He arrived late to the hotel last night after a bumpy ride from Lyon and a hard altitude training camp! After Sundays road race he should take...

Exactly👍The one tailor made for this job is Eenkhoorn. He is super strong rouler,in good form and is big of build so Remco will have perfect shield/slipstream behind him for the first 9 stages. Except stage 6 which is like a classic (LBL lookalike) stage with over 3000 vertical meter of...

It is time to focus on the team selection for Le Tour. Personally this would be my prefered line up: Remco, Van Wilder, Paret-Peintre, Eenkhoorn,Scachmann, Merlier, Van Leberghe and Hayter!This team is based on form,routine and availability! Landa and Vervaeke would have replaced Van...

Definitely agree on this one!The gras is probably not greener on the other side,except for the money. Remco is in a team that is 100% dedicated to him and they have surprised me with strong showings and high team morale when he won the Vuelta,before he got covid in 2023 Giro and Also in this...

For your sake i hope this is irony😅 Ayuso second place in the GC and a stage win in the last TT beating Remco,Pog and Vinge?He has talent, but is nowhere near the level og Pog,Vinge and Remco. That is very clear. Remco has 12-0-0 in TT’s against Pog and Vinge in all competitions. Unforunatelly...

I strongly believe so,yes. Aside from the crash in April, that put him 5-6 weeks behind his scheduele. He also went down in the slippery mass crash in Dauphine and catched a cold in June. Far from a perfect build up.He will also have learned a great deal from this Tour. We can see that he has...
