It's not like the UAE tour has mythical climbs. If it's similar to last year we get two 6-7% climbs and both in the final of a stage. So if we get a TT of more than 15 km the mythical aerobullet will be difficult to beat, yes.

A lot of noise for nothing. A month ago the media already said he would do the UAE tour.

Early access, incredible results but mentally torn so he quits. Who knows? His Finestre result is such a performance outlier of his career (~ 6.14 w/kg for an hour!) and exactly when it mattered most of all.

It's not the most stylish kit of the peleton. It remembers me a bit of older kits, like the Banesto 92 kit. So it's Retro Remco this year. I hope he gets the Belgian Champion jersey prior to riding the TdF. That one I like a lot.

At least Ganna vs Evenepoel was a real rivalry for a brief period.

He can't read your reply.

You will get there.

Dropping somebody requires explosivity (burst) not strength (duration). If they keep drafting in his wheel it's because they can't work with him (lack of strength) or don't want to (tactics). Many times competitors say afterwards that he was too strong. They would waste their chances if they...

Del Toro is honest and recently said that he doesn't consider himself a huge talent. I wonder what he says when they can upgrade him a bit to 'generational talent' level?

Remco just won for the 5th time the Belgian Sportsman of the Year Award. Only Merckx did better with 6 titles.

Remco gave RBH two wish-lists: one was focussed on the Giro and the Tour and the other one on classics (inc MSR and RVV) and the Tour. Apparantly RBH wants a schedule that focusses more on training with lower risk to have 'peak-Remco' at the tour. Remco is not the one who takes the final...

That's the question. The UCI cares about external perception. Unless media and other external forces start to casts doubts, their processes won't change. As a result, a lot can go on beneath the surface without triggering a response. Most of the time an event is needed to trigger change: helmets...

He never had his best base level yet for the TdF. That's a fact that doesn't depend on Vingegaard.

I think so too. I think the list shows what he can tell today. If this is the final list I am disappointed ... and Red Bull too probably (unless the TdF is really the only thing they care about).
