Haha, what ***. The moto was practically the entire time behind him. There were 2 motos in front of the peloton.Remco gets help from the moto: no one complains
Moto is too close to the peloton: "** this **"
It was actually. There were helishots where this was pretty clear. And if you are uncertain of how close a motor is due to the zoom deceiving perception, you just have to wait for a sharp corner or turn for it to become very clear. When the peloton turns in the same second as the motor, you know they are too close.Of course. It is always like that because they have to film the bunch with zoom from the front. After the gap between the Bunch and Remco got close it was the same with him.
The problem will always be there at races with tv coverage. The distance wasn't unusually short between the bunch and the motos.
Then you didn't pay attention. I saw 2 gestures between 10-20k from the finish.I think a good indicator is if teammates of the leading rider(s) complain in the peloton or not. Today i saw nothing from Don Patricks boys.
Also lol at one of the biggest stars in world cycling, a Tour winner, chasing for long kms on the front for a sprinter who has one win in more than four years. It was only appropriate that Swift repay the efforts of the most expensively assembled team in the history of cycling by finishing fourth. I will never cease to be amazed at Swift’s career. He is the luckiest rider in the sport or he has the best agent in the sport or he has some serious dirt on everyone powerful in the sport. By all accounts he’s a very nice guy, so good luck to him.
yeah, this is getting ridiculous. Remco is so strong and he is just 19. How can a kid put so much troubles in a world star peloton during a solo of 100 km? I really can see in the future, this kid attacking at 60 km to go and is game overLol at Evenepoel. If he really does progress so much that he becomes boringly dominant I will end up hating him, but at the moment the kid is pure entertainment.

I hope he wins Milan San Remo before he retires.
Sounds legendary. I’ll feel lucky to witness it.yeah, this is getting ridiculous. Remco is so strong and he is just 19. How can a kid put so much troubles in a world star peloton during a solo of 100 km? I really can see in the future, this kid attacking at 60 km to go and is game over
Because motos were, most of the time, pacing either the break or the packWhy so negative (track etc.)?, wasn't it a great race?
Probably Cancellara in the motordoping accusation age. Though Fab Fabian never attacked from that far out.During the last years, is there actually anybody who could've done what Evenepoel did yesterday? And I mean anybody, not just teenagers. Including all world class riders that have been around for the last 10 or 15 years.
Maybe Tony Martin in 2013 it 2014, he was an absolute beast in his prime back then?
Didn't see Evenepoel getting paced much, tbh. There was one bike in front of him at times (i'm guessing from a photographer), and he was always a lot further off than the two bikes in front of the peloton. The majority of the time, the camerabike was riding behind him.Because motos were, most of the time, pacing either the break or the pack

Cancellara, maybe De Gendt on his good day.During the last years, is there actually anybody who could've done what Evenepoel did yesterday? And I mean anybody, not just teenagers. Including all world class riders that have been around for the last 10 or 15 years.

Uhhh... yes... Fausto "un uomo solo e al comando" Coppi winning "il Giro" by 15 minutes is very boring. Is much better a Tour de France with 21 stages around the tour Eiffel. No bonus time. "Tout pour décider" at last stage with all riders on the same time. Very emotive, epic cycling.
We don't need Evenepoel, we need more riders like Buchmann or Meintjes...
