Remco should come out from this race very happy. To me this indicates that he can get better with time.

When I said he is an Ullrich clone... he is in more ways than his riding style. Needs to control his weight better.

He needs to be better prepared and a better team. Give him Martinez 's domestiques and he wins GC.

Cofidis (here with Izagirre) have a really good 2022 until now.
In the last 15 years, they became more and more a team of rather weak WT cyclists. This year, however, they are really strong.
These Izagirre guys (Gorka is good, too) are often a little bit underrated, I think. They both are mean machines, however, who are super in climbing, TT and sprints.
Gorka chose Movistar (maybe because of their great bikes and nice jerseys), but Ion dared to join Cofidis, and it was a win-win situation for Cofidis and Ion (until now).

In Algarve I would argue he might even have been a bit better.
Crushed everyone in the ITT and looked like everything was in control on Malhao. He didnt have to follow the last accelerations.

He's roughly 5KG heavier than last Giro? Is there a source for this? Also it's unlikely that everyone else is at peak condition body composition wise either.
Tried to find pictures of similar angles and lighting. He looks a bit heavier, but 5KG is a huge amount.

The Zubeldia award must go to Urán, who made it to the top 10 in GC without being noticed by anyone.

5kg heavy?
He needs Dr Nowzaraden.
Damn, Remco.... get the weight under control. That would explain why he is having trouble on the steep slopes

Seems like a bully to me, bossing people around left and right in the peloton, feels very entitled to me. His gesturing and flailing with his arms makes him even more unlikeable.
Very happy he didn't podium today,
I don't think he's more significantly off his peak body composition than the other riders tbh. Also if it was that simple to just lose weight maintain power, considering how heavy Richie Porte has looked this year he'd probably be a favourite to win the Giro Tour double if he could just drop 5KGs and maintain power
. Sad that's it's not that simple though, as that would be a hilarious turn of events.

He said himself he was below 60kg in May. The team said he took on some weight (muscle) and is now heavier than after previous winters. In 2019 he was 64kg at the start of the season. It would also line up with his power data on Strava from what i understand.He's roughly 5KG heavier than last Giro? Is there a source for this?

Oof, I thought we were done with that photo once Betancur Retired.The way some people are talking about Evenepoel's weight right now would have you believe he looks like this...
