Remco Evenepoel

[Ripper]

Well Remco seems to be following the Sky methodology. All about weight loss it seems, and i reckon it is doing damage on his power output.

Too bad for him that the Sky methods won't cut it now. I think it likely that Remco is the closest to clean of the mutant gen. He has strengths that suggest a very high VO2, very high LT, and is aero as heck and is also fairly light. But you can't have it all without a delightful chemical cocktail, and he definitely does not have it all.

Evenepoel at least has clear and plausible non-clinical reason for why he's ***.

Is this what a supertalent on pan y agua looks like?
Completely cooked after two weeks of hard (even if the parcour has been soft) racing and way below previous level. Or is the cocktail not strong enough when the winter base training is missing?

nah

this is the CO missing.

Think we know Pog is on something else, while Vingo and Remco were in the gas chamber at altitude huffing the CO

 

[Raest]

Feel bad for the lad though. He 's much better than this

 

[Pantani Attacks]

All the signs of a poor refuel up on the rest day.

this is Remco's normal level. every other grand tour he does he gets dropped on the first big climb of a mountain stage and out of GC.

not even close

He dominated the first big climb in 2022 at the Vuelta. He was best of the peloton in the first big climb in 2023 giro and won on the first big MTF at that year's Vuelta. Was fine on Galiber last year

Remco is naturally not a climber. All his junior dominance were on flat / hilly stages

yeah i said every other grand tour, as in 1 good one and 1 bad one. got dropped big at his next GT (that he even made it to the mountains in) on the Aubisque in the 2023 Vuelta. then did a good Tour last year, dropped on the Tourmalet this year.
