    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    remco was 2nd best climber at UAE 23 but he would have won there even without the echelon cause of the TTT on stage 2. He won Algarve 22 cause of TT. He was climbing more or less equally with the other favourites but his TT set him apart. Same for Algarve 24. Without the TT Martinez probably...

    In a way. It could be more interesting to see if something changes on his road bike. Unlikely but more interesting.

    Sports and law don't mix well though. If an employee wants to quit his job and start work somewhere else, by law, that should not be a problem. So long as you don't tell secrets, complete your notice period. If you try that in sports... And it's understandable what with sponsors, ... . I was...

    Derek Gee is available. Could make for a solid domestique if he is willing to ride for others. As well as be actual team leader in some races. Teams might not want to touch him though

    Standard practice i guess. Still they have no GT/GC ambitions in the foreseeable future but for Landa and Van Wilder. Nor any TT riders coming up that will be able to compete with the very best methinks (except maybe Hayter). they are mostly going back to the classics. So they would lose little...

    On that point, sporza just released an article in which they go a little bit deeper on the subject. https://sporza.be/nl/2025/10/30/-we-delen-de-data-niet-met-een-nieuw-team-waarom-het-bezoek-van-remco-evenepoel-in-de-vs-deze-keer-geen-routineklus-was~1761836100684/ Seems the biggest thing to...

    Props to specialized as well. Thank god their engineers came up with a good looking helmet that suits Remco. Just the thought of Remco riding in something similar to the Visma helmets... Is it weird that i somewhat see the Darth Vader helmet in Remco aero helmet?

    True, but there is no doubting he puts in the work. Sad to hear his shoulder remains weak. Hopefully it's an issue that will continue to improve and not stagnate. Also Remco at the UEC and Worlds TT was thing to behold. If Ganna looks like an improved TT version of Ullrich, Remco is something...

    enric mas is better than pidcock (GT) and remco only lost time to him when he was injured. edit: I see the usual suspects are finding facts laughable.

    If the Giro is better than what Tour served up for Remco, i think the choice should be obvious.

    Wether Remco can improve at Red Bull remains to be seen. However with some people joining him in the move, he should be able to settle in well. If he does settle well, at least one thing he won't have to deal with anymore is the tranfer rumours. I've already seen some people try and make Del...

    Actually Red Bull has a teambuilding week or something of that nature this week.

    It's funny how remco needs to prove himself towards riders he has already beaten plenty in the past. And not the other way around.
