That's what Remco should have done instead of going to UAE Tour. Paris-Nice or Tirreno-Adriatico.
It seems all the best competitors are going to Paris-Nice. Del Toro will win Tirreno-Adriatico.

In 2026, I have doubts about whether he can compete with Del Toro on a route like this. Emilia is the race that suits Roglic best, and he couldn't even follow Del Toro's wheel.

Surely at some point the body just shuts down completely
Only if you're human.
I don't want to be mean but I'm pretty sure Remco would trade his palmares for Vingegaard's palmares.

I'm not sure, but it doesn't matter. I'm not even sure I would trade that palmares. But I was never such a fan of GT's anyway, personal opinion.

My doctor says I have to lose 5 kilos. I grew up having to fight for my food so this is going to be difficult. True story. I'm going all serious for a week.
Remco told in a interview that he only used to watch 3 races: PR, RVV and the Tour. I was stunned by the fact he didn't follow LBL, the other big race in Belgium.
The Tour is what makes him go so hard on training, it's his biggest dream.

Winning the Tour even once trumps Evenepoel's entire palmares. The Tour is cycling's holy grail.
That doesn't necessarily mean it's the best or most entertaining race. The final of the World Cup in football often isn't very entertaining either. But it's the one everybody wants to win.

That’s taking it way too far. I agree with the broader point, but no way would I put G’s or Bernal’s palmares over a Remco or Roglic.
Until 80s, Fleche Wallonne was more important than LBL.
RVV has always been the Belgian race that has maintained its importance over the years.

Lol, this is obviously subjective, but if that's how you feel... I think that's completely ridiculous.
Eddy Merckx won everything he could in his era and says that his first Tour de France is by far his greatest achievement. Pogacar always says the same thing about 2020 Tour de France.
I don't know a single rider who would say that their first Tour de France wasn't their greatest achievement.

Greatest achievement is not the same as picking 1 TdF W over the palmares Evenepoel has.
Nobody doubts the TdF is the biggest race to win or someone's greatest achievement.

Okay… can I have a personal opinion? That I find WC RR, 2x LBL, Vuelta, 3x WC ITT and OG double more interesting than a single TDF like Pereiro?
For what it's worth I think Xabi Alonso is still traumatized too, he's still picking bits of stud out of his ribcage.
