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

    Now that Seixas has won his first mtf, we don´t have to expect much flat itt´s in the tour the next 15 years. Evenepoel won´t have one real chance.

    A 7km @ 12% climb is about 7-8% steeper than ideal for Evenepoel.

    This. 100% this. The moment things aren´t going well enough, he breaks down mentally. Hence the inexplicable implosions from time to time.

    And that he would have more support in the mountains.

    Ruta del Sol – Vuelta Ciclista a Andalucía 2026, February 18-22

    Probably the easiest edition since 1997, if not since forever (the 5km edition a couple of years ago notwithstanding)

    Who will reach 100 wins (2025 version)?

    That´ll depend on how much his climbing really improved (I don´t think it´s a lot, but I would be happily proven wrong). But even if he made a giant leap, reaching 100 this year is just outrageous. Let´s imagine: 2 more stages + gc in uae 4 stages + gc in catalunya (what pog did in 2024) 3...

    Most important thing for him will be the performance tomorrow.

    Only when he massively gains weight again, trips and falls down on Pog.

    Do you think his power is greater?

    The mentioned riders already have done altitude training, Evenepoel hasn´t. If I´m not mistaken, he is scheduled to do one before Catalunya. And if he´s at his "spring weight" 7km @ 12% will be (way) too much.

    Teams & Riders The Red Bull - Bora - Hansgrohe team thread

    If Evenepoel wins AGR and becomes 2nd in lbl and Van Gils podiums FW, their classics season will be way better than it was last year, no matter what Vermeersch does in the Flemish classics. And I got the impression that their main goal with Evenepoel (and also that of Evenepoel self) is getting...

    Hold your horses.... He now has 3 (+1). He´s not gonna win both mtf´s in UAE tour.

    Giro d'Italia Rate the 2026 Giro d'Italia route

    Are mountain stages that more entertaining? The thing for me is that a whole bunch of riders are denied a chance of victory or at least a telling result. It's not only in gt's that tt's have almost disappeared. Many stage races traditionally had a tt, some even two, now the only thing that...
