Agree on him winning a Tour. I think it happens, things change. People get injured, change teams, have bad years. He's 24.Great stuff by Remco. He's one of the riders I feel most ambivalent about, but I'll need a third wheel to cheer for when Rog is retired.
Hopefully this Tour will put all the talk about him "not being a GT rider" behind us. The new question will be much more interesting: can he ever win the Tour? I'll go out on a limb and say he will finish his career with at least one victory.
To the bolded, it seems like this is where the goalposts will be moved by those who don't like him. "Not a GT rider" and "Not good in the high mountains" will move to "Never gonna win the Tour". Well, I hope not, I'm wrong and most folks give him his due if he wraps this up.
2 more huge stages to go. I think he holds on, but hope he holds on well. I hope the race chills out a bit actually, and a break can win. The GC battle is essentially over. I hear Jonas making "It's not over" noises however. I mean good for him for keeping it going, but...not sure what else exactly he thinks is gonna happen differently at this point. The only stage where he gained hope was 11, and I think we can all recognize that Pogi bonked to some extent.
Would be nice to see someone from Bora able to win a big stage (Hindley?) and salvage the Tour for Bora.
