    He has been unable to stay healthy for a long time in the last 2/3 years. That's the main problem.

    you don't get it, if he could have been "less fresh" at the finish he would have

    Pretty sure it had nothing to do with heat. Like Red Rick said he can't go over the limit on a bad day. He looked pretty fresh at the finish all things considered.

    you clearly didn't watch the Vuelta 2023 because he was super punchy back then...

    he doesn't even mention his allergy until a flemish journalist asks him about his hoarse voice

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2025, June 8 - 15

    It is easier to go fast on the climb if you were slow before the climb. And if you go too fast in the climb you may be slower after it...

    he was right though, without him the attack wouldn't have sticked.

    in HLN "Daarmee zit hij al dicht bij zijn ideale Tourgewicht" 'close to' doesn't mean 'equal to' i guess

    No. It was the biggest goal of his season. He was in top shape. He said so himself.

    Amstel Gold Race 2025, one day classic, April 20 (men's)

    Remco's not at all at his best level.

    Amstel Gold Race 2025, one day classic, April 20 (men's)

    Amstel is not comparable to Glasgow at all. Amstel is not really more technical than brabantse pijl or the olympics in Paris.
