He finally proved that he was the improved version of Remco.

Patiently waiting until Uijtdebroeks wins a monument or the World Championships...

But what a great climber he is, I think he is more of a diesel climber so the longer climbs further down the road should suit him well but recovery is the big question mark. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if he finishes on the top5, which would be awesome given the rivals he is up against.

Seems tailor made for these long efforts in HC multi mountains stages. Will need to improve his TTing considerably to ever contend a GT but I reckon the potential is there (he was good as a junior). And he should gain some explosivity / punch to be in the mix in shorter hills and mountain sprints.

His TT position is awful, they supposedly worked on it at the start of the year but I can't imagine this is the optimal one for him. So that's another reason to think he should be able to improve there.

Impressive to hold on today - going under the radar thanks to the Remco Messianic Movement (were n't they a band back in the 90's?) so hopefully sans saddle sores more to come on the climbs.

It’s because of the media and the fans dumb***, not because Remco.
No wonder you are struggling with your feelings towards Remco when you always interpreter everything about Remco as someone trying to build him up like Jesus, when it’s only a case inside your head.
?

Dont understand your reaction at all to what I said.

Impressive stuff from this youngster. 20 years old, his first GT and already so consistent. If he can keep improving further we're going to see a lot from him. He's not lacking in the enthusiasm/drive department, that much is certain.
