Clásica San Sebastián 2023 (July 29th)

[Volderke]

Still I think Remco was playing with fire. A mis-shift or wrong line being blocked by the barriers etc...
I expect him to win solo with 2-3 minutes, not to force me to watch until the finish.

Oh the gift to cycling Evenepol is going to walk this ...no one has a chance
He would have stomped the Tour , no one can stay with him on the climbs

I'll join in with some of the silly comments. Remco would have romped the Tour in this form, he really should have gone.

Evenepoel already looking in the camera, probably to practice sending kisses to his girlfriend for when he's solo somewhere in the next hour.

So who can stay with remco the longest and when will this poor soul get dropped. Lay your bets please..

Prolly just riding these amateurs out his wheel

Decent training ride for Remco this before the WC

Remco looks so easy. Great racing.

He barely beat the rider that was 6th in the Tour

Nice warm up for Remco (even a bit of sprint training for the coming Roglic battles) - Bilbao did well, he's in good shape.

 

[buddy buddy buddy]

Landa seems to be the only spanish rider in history who doesn't like and doesn't perform in La Vuelta for some strange reasons

there must be others but Indurain is the obvious name

 

[roundabout]

this was the most boring klasikoa in recent years. Bilbao showing his tactical prowess really was the cherry on the cake.

not more boring than Evenepoel's 999km solo in 2022

This is pathetic.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

isn’t it a bigger advantage to be behind if you start the sprint behind and better with a short sprint if you are in front (given you start the acceleration at the same time) ?

If the guy in front is looking behind at the same time, I assume the other rider will be quicker to accelerate, if they're sort equally good in a sprint, which I think was the case here.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

He barely beat the rider that was 6th in the Tour

Indeed a nice training ride, like I said.

 

[theyoungest]

That's painful for Bilbao, he probably never expected to be this close to beating Evenepoel. But he got a bit too nervous there at the end.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

@Logic-is-your-friend what is remco weight right now?

I wish i knew. Really.

Bilbao dropped Vingegaard on the ramp to the altiport

Why would you not want to watch to the finish?

Nice of you to look up all these (mostly hyperbolic or tongue-in-cheek) posts.
Demonstrates no fixation at all.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

This is pathetic.

It's the kind of thing that makes me want Remco to win every race so I don't have the read snide comments as it's even worse when he doesn't win.

 

[Salvarani]

Nice win. Would have expected a solo, maybe he is saving that for worlds.

 

[Jagartrott]

He barely beat the rider that was 6th in the Tour

But convincingly beat nr. 5!

 

[DNP-Old]

Vingegaard got dropped by Bilbao on the final slopes of Courchevel. I reckon he should just retire.

 

[303pbmf]

You guys just keep underestimating him.

How much and what kind of races does this guy need to win to get the respect he deserves.

 

[Red Rick]

Last time Vingegaard sprinted vs Bilbao he dropped like 15 seconds

 

[Netserk]

To me it seemed quite obvious that Evenepoel held back and was fine with winning it in a sprint.

 

[Volderke]

Why would you not want to watch to the finish?

I have work to do But I wouldn't want to miss Remco racing and still battling it out for the win (in contrast to him going solo, which is nice to watch but not very exciting), as he hasn't been on TV often, the last couple of months. Luckily the Vuelta is coming...

What pathetic is having to listen to this every race he is in and even ones he is not in on here

It is not humorous and what is most annoying is calling other riders losers and undermining other achievements as nothing in comparison

And you say I have an obsession ? the obsessions is the arrogance on here when is comes to Evenepol

 

[Didinho]

To me it seemed quite obvious that Evenepoel held back and was fine with winning it in a sprint.

I think he tried to drop them, or couldn’t go any faster himself, but Bilbao was also really strong.

 

[red_flanders]

They just said it was Remco’s 46th professional win. Dang.

Only 479 to go…

Black shorts to climb the podium. Marginal gains.
