Teams & Riders Cian Uijtdebroeks - From the wetlands to the top of cycling

[KZD]

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.

It might not have been entirely serious...

It might not have been entirely serious...

Even a hint of doubt as to the greatness of Evenepoel can not be tolerated.

 

[HelloDolly]

its hard to believe its his first Grand Tour and he is right up there

Had a few sets backs but still fighting

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

This kid is very impressive, but need to work on his TT.

 

[RedheadDane]

His (pre-stage) interview yesterday was amazing.
As the Danish commentators put it; "Never heard a guy be so happy, while talking about a wound in his butt."

 

[SafeBet]

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.

After the stage today also. He still got saddle soreness but he could suppress the pain a bit.
He’s going for top 10 now.

He talks like Benji Naesen on too many antidepressants.

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.

Ineos can help him with this

 

[Rob5091]

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.

 

[Berniece]

What a great ride of him, needs to train on more explosive climbs and his TT and he’ll be a GC contender. More than enough time for him, let’s see how he handles three full weeks.

I hope BLOBLOBLO stays at Bora and isn't going to UAE, Ineos or Jumbo. Ineos can have Evenepoel.

 

[Miss Violet Smith]

Really happy to see him doing so well!

His interviews are delightful.

Belgian prodigy Cian Uijtdebroeks plans attacks in third week of Vuelta a España​

 

[Berniece]

Happy as always. Looking forward to see him perform this week. If he doesn't fade, I can see him finish 6th.

Cian Uijtdebroeks voelt zich nog altijd "fris": "Volgend jaar de Tour? Neen, ik kies tussen Giro en Vuelta"

Van een geslaagd debuut gesproken. Cian Uijtdebroeks, nog altijd maar 20 jaar, rijdt met de Vuelta de eerste grote ronde uit zijn carrière en staat bij de tweede rustdag 9e in het klassement. "Top 10 in Madrid zou amazing zijn."

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

I'm becoming a fan of this guy, he just seems so wholesome.

I'll be cheering for him for the rest of this Vuelta, since the fight for the top placings seems kinda dead.

 

[Panda Claws]

Very impressive. Belgium's blessed to get another GT prospect right behind Evenepoel.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Probably also a very good thing for Cian that Remco takes most of the attention and pressure, which makes him being able to develope and test his limits without too much attention.

He is so helpful that young buck to everyone around him.

There's no other like him.

 

[Salvarani]

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.

 

[frisenfruitig]

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.
