Florian Vermeersch to UAE according to HLN

Really good signing for Pogacar’s team at RVV and SB. He can be the captain of the team in PR.

Good transfer make sense both for rider and team.

Hehe, he can have Morgados spot in the classics. God knows Morgado did not like those races.

Morgado said last week he wants to come back to RRV and he’s biggest idol and the rider we want to become is WVA. So I guess he could a taste for the classics. Make snese, bc he damn good at it already!

Pogacar, Wellens, Politt, Varmeersch, Bjerg, Mogardo, Rui.
^ The strongest classics team in the peloton?

Not looking forward to the imminent front group of four Jumbots, four UAEs, Van der Poel, Pedersen and nobody else at Ronde next year...

Well, better than one rider going solo with 100k to go.

This is a great team. I have a feeling Pogi will win 4 monuments next year with this team. MVP without Phillipsen will need to be agressive in MSR.

I think Philipsen will stay.

But Remco going to be a big ''helper'' for Pogacar. 1 more team to make the race hard in MSR and RRV.

Evenepoel has zero shot at Ronde, given that the Brabantse Pijl cobbles were already too much for him in 2022...

The Brabantse Pijl cobbles were too much for him because he was the only one riding on the cobbles.

At Ronde, the gutters are fenced off so differences should be smaller.

I don't give him much of a chance either when it comes down to a straight up shoot out on the Koppenberg or Paterberg but I think there are other ways to win the Ronde.

He was also struggling with Moskesstraat, where everyone is on the cobbles.

I don't remember anyone winning 4 monuments in the same season, it would be a legendary achievement.

To be more realistic, 3 would be already legendary especially if Pogačar also wins the Tour or the Worlds even.
