2021 Trentino European Championships 8-12 September

[LesDiablesRouges]

the most ridiculous thing i've seen in cycling...did colbrelli pay him or something?

Really? That was the most ridiculous thing you’ve seen? Was this your first race?

 

[Alexandre B.]

Huh? What brilliant tactical plan should Remco employed? Colbrelli was the strongest so he won. Sprinting is part of being strongest.

Colbrelli was also the strongest on the climbs. Quite interesting, really, for such a rider.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Yes, he makes gestures, but so what? He is a great racer, why do a few hand gestures rile you all up like that?

on the basis of that race, he is not a great racer lol

 

[Ripper]

I really wish italian sprinters would stop winning this....thats four in a row now

I wonder if Italy will now do their traditional fail at the world championships

Evenepoel rode a great race but seriously, the baby behaviour needs to go. Point.

 

[Ripper]

Funniest thing is Gilbert was saying "anyone on Bahrain" was the favorite for today

Says something without saying something doesn't it?

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Movistar tactics seems 200 IQ when compared to Evenepoel's.

What tactic should Remco have employed exactly? Please enlighten us oh brilliant one.

There would have been an easy way out for the Belgians in this, but this way was in Britain today.

That was just a pretty general comment, not in reference to this race specifically. You can win races in different ways. You can be strong and ride smart also. How many times have seen riders attacking or making the race. But not winning for variant reasons. They are the moral winner. Or they did too much work and just lost out in the end.

I wasnt saying Remco should or could have done much else than what he did. His chance was to drop Colbrelli on the last climb. Colbrelli was just great today.

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Remco is a top talent and a really likable racer

But he has to learn some better tactics

Please enlighten us with what he should have done?

 

[yaco]

Despite a catalogue of classy winners and a stacked start list for this edition, some tried to talk down the importance of the European Championship - And we ended up with an attacking and exciting race.

The tactics were fine he just couldn’t shake Colbrelli.

Remco is super talented, but seeing things like that is really disgusting. He shows this behaviour time and time again too. Take your soccer attitude elsewhere please.

is this your first time watching cycling?

 

[noob]

What is Remco saying to the journalists?

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

He was strong enough.

I really dislike the forum when Evenepoel is involved in a race

Why must everybody mock him all the time? Why is it so hard to understand the situation he is in and empathise a bit with him? Yes, he makes gestures, but so what? He is a great racer, why do a few hand gestures rile you all up like that?

Usually, everybody acts like policemen assigned to spot and penalise wheelsucking, but apparently not when Remco is involved. He is just an object you can kick at because he has the audacity to show a little bit of frustration.

For some reason he seems to be very polarizing for some people. Not entirely sure why, because I certainly don't feel it.

Tactically, there was not much he could do. He created a great split and help drive the breakaway. He was able to drop one of his two companions, but Colbrelli is just somewhat otherworldly right now.

Basically Evenepoel kept the race on the whole way up to climb, and after that, did not have much reason to pull. I made your problem for him, and many other racers, right now is that Colbrelli seems to be able to do it all. Hmmm

 

[southwards]

I don't fault remco, he tried what he could, but wasn't able to drop Colbrelli, he had no other choice. The sprint was a foregone conclusion.

Remco is a very skilled rider, but I don't think his set of skills will grant him that many prestigious wins... He either wins solo or lose, the more he is marked, the more difficult it becomes for him.

 

[memyselfandI]

Didn’t even look like Colbrelli went full-on in the sprint. Remco’s going to have a tough time in his career with his lack of speed.

His only hope is to really drop everyone and come in solo. Every single time.

This is a big question mark as having top junior football background no matter what you typically have quite a plenty of fast twitch stuff..

Oh I'm starting to love your subtle little digs.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Who cares what Evenepoel's character is like off the bike? This is cycling, not Married at first sight. He's a winner and has a temper and that makes for awesome, entertaining cycling that makes Contador look like Leipheimer. Isn't that enough?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Classless behavior.

Hope he grows and becomes a better person.

You'd think that by now he'd know that he would loose to Pozzovivo in a sprint, that kind of behavior seems a bit immature. I doubt that there's any malice involved, but it kinda rubs me the wrong way.

Because there are bunch of amateur wannabes who know absolutely nothing about cycling and have achieved nothing in sports so they attack people to feel better.
