Remco is strong enough to mess someones plan up.

I’ve got some inside information that Remco is starting on Sunday. Although that’s the plan if all goes well this week.

Can’t say it’s 100% certain of course but it’s one of my closest friends who talks a lot with riders on different teams for his job. When I said it this afternoon he didn’t believe it but now he just texted to say the rumor is true. So I guess he asked around.

So more a yes then a no for now.

(And while seeing the date right now, no April 1 joke)

I think every cycling fan is hoping that he will announce his participation asap. Thats what cycling needs: The best cyclists doing the best races.

Also on a side note, what don't they do the Muur anymore like they did back in 2017 - 19? That climb in my opinion is the most iconic in Flanders, and even though it came far from the finish, it was great to have it back. It also added a interesting dynamic as that's where Phillipe Gilbert got away in a split back in 2017, before riding away up the Oude Kwaremont with 50 km to go.

Remco is an exciting rider. Since no long climb on the menu, I want to see him take the first initiative to attack before Pogi . He should not worry to stay in front since Pogi is game in working together. For him to win though is to drop Pogi since two-up sprint between them is not 50-50.
