Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

[Savant12]

Without Jonas in the race he would have gone solo and won today.

And that's Remco's predicament. As a GC rider, he is not as good as Vingo (and Pog). He also loses his head, too often.

Sure, that would have made life easier, but that won't change that in theory that group was good to go if they had worked together. They chose not to.

Happens the best quite often, as they say.

I always think it strange how people work with Pogacar but rarely with remco when they have a better chance against remco. They betting on remco bullish ways to get the better of him , and his personality probably rubs people the wrong way. I understand. But it was clear to me pogacar would ride no matter what in sanremo, and remco today would not with Jonas still there. I know people will disagree with me, and have opposite opinions about that last sentence. But that is what my intuition told me. Posted both things even during the actual races.That Pogacar would ride in sanremo, and remco would not today in catalunya. Everyone is free to think me wrong. Or disagree with the tactics i would apply from said intuition.

Jonas only protected his GC and didn't care about the stage win. In MSR, Pogi wanted to win and Pidcock worked so he would have a shot to win.

Remco must drop everyone to win, as he has done multiple times.
