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

    nope, they are entirely in line with the others. (see stage 3 regarding Roglic). Just that in the remco thread these things get repeated a lot more due to the additional trolls joining the conversation and loudly declaring as well know established facts how bad & stupid remco and his...

    He probably meant stomped. (also it was more than 1s, everyone just got regulated like that.

    Roglic was dropped by Mas, Vlasov, Carapaz, Carthy on that climb.

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

    True, but i think we start to stumble upon the fact that Remco has more side effects of crashing than other riders. (for instance Uijtdebroeks crashed during the stage). And that in itself wouldn't be a major problem were it not he crashes often in a GT. (crashed at least once in every GT he...

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

    He said hoofdpijn, don't know if the dutch I read was translated or from a real dutch interview. Can make a difference in understanding/translation. I assume he meant pain from the place he fell and not stitches. Could be radiating affecting his sinus cavities, which gives a headache but...

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

    I didn't have a super day, but also not a bad day. I did have some headache, so the injury is still there. The heat didn't help. The legs felt heavy and my back hurt. Still take the statements from Evenepoel with a grain of salt, but it looks like the crash does/did play a role. (Which...

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

    The 'problem' is that he said the same thing last year in the stage he dropped a lot of time. So its hard to distil any useful information until further up the road.

    Team Jumbo-Visma

    So i think we can be clear that Hessman being caught didn't really affect JV at all :)

    Assuming we ignore him saying he had a bad day, or that his power was below what he produced over multiple climbs last year. Sure if this was his best day for such a climb with such a lead-in, he will need more ITT km to be somewhat competitive.

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España, stage 6: La Vall d'Uixó - Pico del Buitre, 183.1k

    What a race, and onlye stage 6. We will probably end up with 1-2-3 for JV, but if all the mountain stages will be ridden like this, maybe it is ok :D (lets hope that the organizers catch up on how to convey it to the screen though....)

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    Kudos to Roglic for attacking, was expecting Vingegaard to be the first one to launch. He probably saw Remco didn't go that well and went for it. As a team they were already far above the rest, now they kinda proved they are individually also above the rest. If they plan to ride like this for...

    How can they spell primož so wrong.

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

    or not, because he isn't rated as the best climber in the peleton. while today he did well for being a bad day (for whatever reason)

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

    Being injured is possible. We know riders don't tell the whole truth in that sense. Last year vuelta he said he was ok and he wasn't, in the giro he said he had heavy injuries while they weren't. (you see the same with other riders) If its an injury it might be recoverable. If is the stomach...
