European Championship 2025: Men’s RR, October 5

It just makes no sense that he can go toe to toe with Pogi in the parcours of the first week of this year's Tour and then can't keep with the peloton midway through this race.

Big mentality problem.

He is toasted right now. I told he was on vacations mode already.

 

[Netserk]

Not really. 3 weeks after the GT double a form lapse must be significant. It's more or less what I expected. To see how good he can be in these type of races see the first few stages of the Tour (or the first stage of Dauphine).

A stage race is not a one-day race. Froome could also do well early in stage races.

 

[AlpRaid]

going to still support QS when remco is gone.

junior and magnier are fun young riders.

 

[Samamba]

I'm afraid that ship might have sailed.

Still have time imo. I think they are doing the right thing, at least they are trying. Otherwise it's just hoping Pogacar partied too hard after Worlds win and Remco is better today but that's a long shot.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sivakov goes for Slovenia!!!

 

[Salvarani]

It just makes no sense that he can go toe to toe with Pogi in the parcours of the first week of this year's Tour and then can't keep with the peloton midway through this race.

Big mentality problem.

Agreed, I find it hard to believe it is not a mentality thing.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Vingegaard is just simply not a one-day racer. Good that he no longer rides the Ardennes classics.

That winner mentality shining through. Or are you telling us if this parcours was stage 1 of the TDF he would get dropped halfway?

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

We have a race. It would have been better for Belgium though, if there were some more Belgians to pressure Pog. Now it's just spielerei like Germans would say.

 

[Didinho]

Remco on a mission.

 

[AlpRaid]

get off the front remco FFS.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Tactical mastermind Remco

 

[Salvarani]

Remco cant help himself, despite having many teammates left.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What is this clown doing, you do realise he's in white and not green Remco

 

[fenns]

Remco trying to make sure of second place

 

[Samamba]

Mohoric passed like 50 riders in 2km of descent.

 

[Netserk]

It just makes no sense that he can go toe to toe with Pogi in the parcours of the first week of this year's Tour and then can't keep with the peloton midway through this race.

Big mentality problem.

I agree that it's mostly mental. But I also think the specific prep is different to stage races, and that it would take investment and tinkering for Vingegaard to figure out how to perform well.

Those efforts are better spent on climbing and TTs.

 

[Rou]

Remcoooo 'big balls' Evenepoel!

 

[Berniece]

There was a second Belgian rider in the group of Evenepoel, right?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vingegaard doesn't know anyone who deserves to be honoured today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

At least he looks more confident on the descents now after that Galibier disaster.

 

[AlpRaid]

pog is the undisputed favorite on this course.

and remco acts as his teammate.

boggles.

That’s because Remco doesn’t agree with your first opinion

 

[AlpRaid]

That’s because Remco doesn’t agree with your first opinion

and I am hoping I am wrong.

but you would think he would have learned.

just not sure why he did not take more advantage of the Belgian numbers.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Oh no, oh no, Remco is leading a descent, this will cost him so much energy that he‘ll have no chance.

I spoke of stage races.
