Figueira Champions Classic 2024 - 1.Pro (February 10)

Uncoordinated chase, big hitters not here etc etc

🔃 He won't lose a race all season.

I remember the first time I saw Morgado. It was the year 2020, in the Vuelta al Besaya U17. I predicted then and there that he would be the first rider ever to flop/dive during a race. Or, as we call it, make a schwalbe.

1:52 at 6 km to go

 

[Faserr]

Will we geht the junior worlds result from Innsbruck? Mayrhofer still there.

 

[DNP-Old]

*peep* try to be the king but the ace is back.

 

[Lequack]

Remco is now the favorite to win the Tour. Vingegaard better start training hard, or he will lose.

 

[houtdffan]

that was a professional ass whipping provided by Evenepoel

 

[DNP-Old]

Van den Berg still there.

Remco does the business (and glad to see UCI have a chaperone for him. Would not want him to be lead astray ...). Not sure about the winning phone gesture .

Not sure about the winning phone gesture .

I liked McEwen's interpretation of it. "Conversation is over". I guess the Remco thread can officially be closed down.

Of course. Another victory in a small race against fifth tier riders for Remco. Good to boost his big ego and the ego of his fans. Good for uneducated people to keep the "next Merckx" narrative going.

Well, he has now surpassed Ivan Ramiro Sosa in my book at least.

Or is it a message to other teams to call him with offers?

It would have been fitting with a more subtle celebration. Like, just stop your powermeter and roll over the line.

ET phone home.

Thank you for that accurate assessment.

He's just building for Paris-Nice, where the educated can draw some initial conclusions.

What would someone his age know about slamming a telephone down on the receiver?

 

[chickenlips]

I'm assuming he has to do this 21 times to win the tour, or have the same competition?

 

[Berniece]

Amazing win. There are only 2 riders in the peloton that can do it like this, and he’s one of them. Great start of the season

One of the joys that's missing with a mobile phone.

You can do it, but it can get costly real quick.
