Rly, i think even if Del Toro won't get stronger from here on out, he'll have a great career. seems like a fun cyclist to watch.

Been hearing about some of this wonderkids for awhile. Will be interesting to see if they evolve like Del Toro. Or if they are overhyped. At least a lot of countries are represented. Belgium, Italy, Spain, Norway, ... No young dutch climbing talents? Maybe they're all too tall.

Some very strong riders in this tour de l'avenir. Del Toro also only a few years older. There's Christen & Finn as well. I'm surprised Pablo Torres finished on more than 2 minutes. Wasn't he the next spanish superkid? Something happened?

Wether kids help or not depends on each individual. Love and kids can be great boosts, but can also be detrimental. There is no right or wrong answer. Just what a person wants in the situation he/she is in. Frank VDB is a famous example. And whilst I may be entirely wrong about this. In a way...

I'm looking forward to seeing him this year still. Obviously Pogacar will be a roadblock. But I want to see him take the first steps back to being himself. See him finish the season strong. For every race he enters. Hopefully not fade. If he wins even 1 race of WC, EC, Lombardia it will already...

Strangely i think those that dislike Remco have bigger expectations for him than I do. Just a return to form, perhaps a slight improvement GT wise under his new team with better prep. If he manages that after all that has happened this year, i'm already happy.

Remco is an all around talent. Truth is, he's been good in both. A quick look at wiki tells me, Remco has 12 GC wins. 12 one day race wins. and 6 TT wins (not counting TT stages,...) It's just that he managed 3 of the biggest one day race wins (WC, LBL, Olympics), and only the Vuelta. His other...

can't imply something 99% of the time. and then say you don't mean that. Have the courage to not back down cause your own logic is being thrown back and used to show the ridiculous statement that Remo is not a GT guy.

The implication was there. Not saying it and implying it, is just your easy way out now. Also are ppl actually seeing Pidcock as a GT guy. Meanwhile Remco isn't one. Oh, the irony. I'd be surprised if Pidcock even wins a race like Algarve. That's not to say he can't win Algarve. It would just...

Only for people like you. I see no reason why he can't combine his 3 major goals. 1 day Racing, TT, and GT. Sure he'll have to make choices now and then, but so do others. Btw, as much as i want an Almeida win in this Vuelta. I'll be sure to post about him in case he fails to win it. I mean...

Come now. He has 2 1 week major stage races under his belt and a podium GT Don't go saying it's apples and oranges. Except that Ayuso is not very good at 1 day racing, he's been a GT hopeful, same as Remco. Only remco results have been better. But let's not say that too loud. Wouldn't want that...

So should we start telling Ayuso to stop being a GC guy.. only he's no good in 1 day races... Obviously he had rushed prep, cause he was prepping for WC not Vuelta. But if this was remco it would be considered just another excuse.

When it comes to prestige it's clear. 1. Tour 2.Giro 3. Vuelta. That said. Difference between Giro & Vuelta is only cause of historic reasons atm. They are close. I actually find it interesting how some things are set in stone. If not for lack of interest and money countries like China, USA...

Cunego had the yips. Remco might be affected by stress every now and then but not to Cunego level. Tour of Britain in 10 days. What can we expect? Anyone got any clues?

Well, one thing by all accounts will definitely imrove when remco makes his move to red Bull.
