Well, it's his first stage race in France, that alone is bizarre. And never a linear one day race as well.

Remco debut in France today.
Still can't believe that it's his first race here.
Hoping it will be a positive experience!!

Remco did a ton of racing in France as a junior too, including Roubaix.

“It's always fun to race against Primoz Roglic. You never know what to expect. He is always complaining about his sore legs, only to end up winning almost every stage. He is a fun rider and a legend of modern cycling. How we are going to beat him is still an unanswered question within the team. We'll see. I have taken steps this winter. We have to believe in our own qualities and plans and try to strike at certain stages.” - Remco 🤣

“Today it will be war. The final will be nicely opened up. It will be an open race and I expect anything but a bunch sprint. With the hectic finale, it is not unwise to take the initiative yourself. We definitely discussed plans to try something ourselves. If the situation does not lend itself to it, we are not going to do anything, but if we can, why not? Whether I sprint along will depend on how many of us go to the finish. If that is with about five people, I will sprint for the win, but in the bunch sprint I will not compete against men like Pedersen and Matthews. I'm not quick enough for that. The last slope offers opportunities to ride away to the finish. It is really difficult and very steep in the beginning, with a long spur according to Véloviewer. It is perhaps a shortened version of the Roche au Faucons. The slope in front is a slightly easier version of La Redoute, but of the same distance. So it won't be easy. There are also bonus seconds, so it will be a race anyway.” - Remco

Interesting how he didn't name drop De Lie 😂 spicy

If that's spicy, I'd suggest an Indian cuisine is not your thing.

He did mention De Lie together with Pedersen and Matthews in the spoken interview on Sporza.

This reminds of the 1st stage last year when Pogačar attacks and Vingegaard was glued to his wheel causing him to stop the attack. We might very well see a repeat of that today.

Pedersen has to be the favourite to take the stage

de Lie isn't fully fit after his crash, according to the team, and said that he would have preferred a flat sprint today.

No reason to rule him out, of course, but if Pedersen is at his best, I guess it will be difficult for him.

But dropping him from my team put me within budget.

Well you could have had both of them, if you had picked some different Danish riders for the remaining spots, You could even have had those two and Vingegaard as well. Then you wouldn't have been in last place right now.

I suppose I could have had those three, and just a bunch of cheap Danish conti riders to fill out the rest of the spots.
But I like spreading my point-tally over multiple riders, unfortunately... the riders don't seem to quite agree with my tactic...
At least the other-other Pedersen gave me some points yesterday...

One thing Roglic is missing now is the super strong Visma team, Bora are good but not Visma level. Remember Laporte, Wout and Roglic riding away and doing a 1-2-3 that one stage. I just can't see a scenario where that could happen at Bora.

I wonder about this in the time trial. Roglic looks pretty isolated, team is not very strong..?
