The Marco Brenner is the next Remco Evenepoel thread

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well he was 5th. Which, for a flat crit race like this is not a bad result for him I think.

 

[cobblesandstones]

Pretty good result. I bet he did about 50% of the work in that group.

 

[hfgon1]

Next win for him. He won the first stage of the Giro della Lunigiana infront of Andrea Piccolo

 

[cobblesandstones]

I am pretty sure he will win the mountaintop finish and the ITT as well..... unreal!

 

[DNP-Old]

Lmao, 22 seconds. This kid is off the charts.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Piccolo & Tiberi must also be pissed. Rid of Evenepoel, now this f*cker comes along, lol.

 

[del1962]

I see Karel Vacek's brother Matthias was 5th

 

[cobblesandstones]

He wins AGAIN! But what happend to him yesterday? So who will win the worlds? Him or Simmons? The Germans, Italians and USA must have the best teams.

 

[cobblesandstones]

Can he do an Evenepoel and win both the road race and the worlds ITT?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Can he do an Evenepoel and win both the road race and the worlds ITT?

I don't know. He seldom wins like Evenepoel did, with minutes. He couldn't come back from a crash, lose 2 minutes and finish solo like Evenepoel did imho. On the other hand, he's a year and a half younger than Remco was. If not this year, maybe next?

 

[cobblesandstones]

If the parcours was hard enough he probably won every single race except the one stage at Lunigiana where he was caught behind. So question is if the course is hard enough he can win relying on strength

 

[DNP-Old]

Can he do an Evenepoel and win both the road race and the worlds ITT?

Can he? Sure. Will he? Small chance. These boys are all a year older than him and Brenner's had a long season. Furthermore, the opposition is brutal and this generation is really good. Quinn Simmons is in tremendous form and Finn Fisher-Black is out for revenge after he had to cancel his worlds on the track. We're at a point where the likes of Piccolo, Tiberi and Carlos Rodriguez aren't even being discussed and those boys can fly with anyone on their day.

Not to forget a very important detail: the Brits are coming. They are never there when Nations Cup or even European Championships are at stake, but Leo Hayter (Ethan's younger brother) is just one example of a phenom from the track. We have no reference whatsoever, but they'll be up there no doubt.

Shouldn't the title of this technically be "Marco Brenner is the new Remco Evenpoel is the new Eddy Merckx"?

 

[F_Cance]

Brenner selected for the juniors WC, but somehow they leave Ballerstedt out.
His reaction

No, you have to throw some pronouns in.

Ballerstedt got sick shortly after the European Championships and his form is a big question mark, it’s not that hard to understand.

 

[WKA311]

Ballerstedt even ended his season already because of his sickness. Didn't ride his bike for quite some time until 2 days ago. This course would have suited him really good though.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Halfway the ITT, he has the fastest intermediate time, but only 5 seconds on Leijnse. And there are still a lot of guys to come.

 

[DNP-Old]

Bronze as a first year junior, that's very good. He'll be back for more, the illusive double rainbow is coming.

 

[DNP-Old]

Marco Brenner and 2 fans.

 

[LennCH]

Respect! Bronze already, next year he will smash it out of the course.

 

[DNP-Old]

He's been doing some crossing this winter, and won a ton in the lower fields. He was starting too far from the back to really be a threat to Thibau in the World Cups, but its been a good winter for Brenner. Recent interview with him suggests his main goals this year are Roubaix, Peace Race and the world title, although I fully expect him to dominate from start to finish really.

 

[WKA311]

He will sign a pro contract in the spring and also skip the U23 ranks as I understand it. He is in touch with several teams at this point and hasn't decided yet for whom he will sign, Bora should be one of the front-runners though.

 

[Faserr]

That would be really early. He is only 17
