It seems to me we're all just grasping at straws here, is he too heavy (fat), is he struggling with the yo-yoing weight (which is REALLY hard on the body if repeated over time), are his tactics not right, has he reached his peak already, on and on. For me, for whatever reason, this is simply...

I just do not understand this kind of sentiment at all regarding Seixas; if he had struggled on La Redoute or something I could see it but he fought the best rider in the world to almost the bitter end of 260k as a 19 year old. I don't see that as his 'engine dropping', he was just up against...

Totally. I'm a Remco fan but sprinting for a podium against Bernal et al nearly 2 minutes back is not why Red Bull wrote him a massive check

Totally, he's riding against the absolute best on the planet; I'd like for my engine to drop like that... ;-)

It is so sad to see Remco reduced to this.

That was before he hit the postal service van door; that crash really seems to have messed something up with him. He is far away from the rider he was when he won Liege.

If Seixas keeps improving Pogi isn't going to keep having things his way much longer.

The way Seixas is riding I won't be surprised by anything today, wow. If he stopped this minute he's ridden specttacularly.

Worse, the forum will melt down!

I believe he's wearing it in honor of this unfortunate rider: Cristian Camilo Munoz dies

Pogi has a real fight on his hands today perhaps?

As has been said over the last while, Remco getting doored seems to have really screwed something up with him; this is not the same rider who torched everyone at CSS as a 19 year old. A bridge too far for him maybe? Sure hope not but no way should he be this ordinary.

Seixas glued to Pogi right now.

Agree, if he could have dropped him there I think he would have, that did not look tactical to me.

RBH shaking their heads about now. Uggh, Remco was put into trouble by UAE domestiques.
