    UAE-Team Emirates thread

    Am I being too harsh or are UAE’s DS a total joke? After all that mess in Catalunia today they were basically offered the Mountain jersey but somehow the DS decided to “decline” it… (Formolo not being told that the three points on the Urkaregi climb would guarantee him the climber’s jersey is...

    It's named "team work" - it's a concept certain riders are not aware of... ;)

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

    Don't see why we can't compare Fausto and Remco... it makes as much logic as comparing Remco and Tadej...

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

    He loves being in the spotlight so I guess changing nationality wouldn't really be of much help... In his current situation it is much easier to be in the front pages by saying and behaving stupidly than by performing on the road... It's a pity because the kid could have an amazing future -...

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

    Win a GT??? Unhappy with a place off the podium??? I know this has already been said several times before but just let the kid run a couple of GT first and see how he performs on them before placing the expectations at such a high level... The hype that surrounds him is totally surreal...

    Hopefully Quickstep will not make the same mistake twice and put him on a leadership position at the Vuelta! #FreeLogic-Is-Your-Friend

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    I don't get it... why is he the biggest talent in such a long time? With his age Pogacar had already a top3 at the Vuelta...

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    You actually don't need history for that... Only a crazy DS would put a 21 years old kid, who has never ride a GT (3 weeks), who hasn't ride a single race for 8 months as the "de facto" leader of the team... that was complete nonsense!

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    The fact they end up with the same time doesn't mean Knox and Serry were of great help to Almeida (they weren't there when help was needed...) Those same two guys ended today's stage in the exact same group/time as Remco... by your perspective I feel its safe to assume that they did work for...

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    I guess that's what they wanted people to believe in order to justify the "co-leader" policy... In truth I find that very hard to accept... Nobody talks much about it but stage 1 was a good example: Remco had never lost a TT to Almeida and, in the first stage where they were both fresh Almeida...

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    Almeida (as all other riders...) is human and, on that particular stage and based on what was happening inside his own team, was mentally all over the place.... He obviously is not the best rider in world but one thing he clearly is is a fighter, he never quits, and the way he ended that stage...

    João Almeida - Bota Lume

    I guess the main point here would be the big mistake Quickstep made by putting Remco and Almeida in theory as co-leaders for this GT. Remco was a phenomenon before his injury and should obviously be the natural team leader had the accident not happened. Unfortunately it did happen and believing...

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

    Ok... so if Almeida was the leader why didn't anyone stayed with him on that stage where he lost those five minutes?? Clearly logic doesn't seem to be your friend...

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

    What we saw today was a bit ridiculous... Almeida almost had to stop twice to wait for Renco.... Evenepoel is not still ready to go for Grand Tours' GCs and giving him the leadership (this was clear from stage 2 where we saw the whole team working for him to get the 2seconds bonus) was clearly...
