Remco is now almost top favourite. Only Carapaz is slightly ahead of him. By the start of the Giro Remco will be odds-on favourite. https://www.oddschecker.com/cycling/giro-ditalia/giro-d-italia/winner

What do you think about Cian Uijtdebroeks ? It's the first that I hear his name.

The Belgian team goes to the world championship with 1 leader : Remco. It's the first time in history that Belgium (by far the most succesful country at the worlds) goes to the worlds with such a young leader. Other Belgian riders that also have a (outside) opportunity of winning are Tiesj...

Het Nieuwsblad (Saturday 16/05/2020) page 6, 7 and 8. He misses the competition. He wanted to win the prologue (or at least distance already his main competitors for the general classification). He hopes that the prologue still goes through (3 days less in total). The team is now trying to find...

In het Nieuwsblad Remco gave an explanation on why he did badly a this test (+ also the virtual races). He will no longer participate at the virtual races. For the first time ever he achieved such high wattages during tests and nonetheless he got beaten. Remco saw some cyclist achieve 8 watt/kg...

You are correct. He achieved this when he dropped Skuijns on the climb to the top. Karsten mentioned that it was not common practice for a pro cyclist to reveal info like that. Remco told the audience that this was a first for him. He never achieved such a wattage before. What is very special...

On Eurosport Remco said that he achieved 490 Watt during 5 minutes at the Clasico San Sebastian (= 8 watt/kg). Karsten Kroon looked flabergasted. He uttered that this is probably unseen in the history of cycling. Karsten also said that Remco would not win many one-day classics because he is not...

+ LBL + Lombardia

I see that Carapaz lost almost 3 minutes to Dennis in that ITT. That's probably what he is going to lose to Remco as well.

Remco has climbed to being second Giro favorite according to the betting odds: Carapaz 2/1 and Remco : 4,5/1. This is not surprising if you take into account that someone like G. Saronni is stating that Remco can already win the Giro. Saronni won the Giro at age 21. Why would Remco not be able...

Are you or were you a pro cyclist ?

The betting odds place Remco now as third favorite to win the Giro. Only Carapaz (2/1) and Nibali (3/1) are ahead of Remco (15/4). I am quite sure that starting the Giro Remco will be the betting favorite to win the Giro. It's clear that Remco knows that he is able to beat the record of Fausto...

I notice that the bookies are not taking a risk. Evenepoel is the overwhelming favorite to win the Volta ao Algarve. Remco : 7/4 and 13/8, G. Thomas : 6, Schachmann : 8, Rohan Dennis : 10, Kwiatkowski : 14, Van der Poel : 16, ....
