The cat is out of the bag and it is finally confirmed that Remco is leaving us after this season 😔
Personally i would like us to spend some of the Remco money from RedBull to buy out Jarno Widar from his contract at Lotto. A new Belgium super talented climber and a future GT winner. This is the time to do it and bounce back swiftly in the transfer market.
As i see it we dont have a podium GC candidate in the team anymore, except maybe Landa in the Vuelta. Hopefully Van Wilder can step up and develop, but unfortunatelly it seems like he will not be more then a Top 10 candidate. Paret-Peintre is a super talented climber, but needs to rapidly improve on the TT and his stability for 3 weeks.
The re-focus on the classics is good , but we also need puncheurs for the hilly classics. Magnier is going to be super good in the future and we have the best sprinter in the world with Tim, but my wish list for the 5 last riders in the team is this:
1.Jarno Widar
2. Kevin Vauquelin
3. Dylan Van Baarle
4.Noah Møller Andersen
5.Seff Van Kerckhove
