Man, did he ever corner well today. Like it was a different rider from the Galiber or the Puy Mary

Tarling lost silver, not gold. That bikechange (not a crash) was not 28s.
I'm deducting a bit extra because of losing the rhythm and because I don't know for sure how much time passed between the puncture and the bike change, but yeah, 2nd was the most likely outcome.
1x Vuelta
2x Liege
2x San Sebastian
1x Olympic ITT
1x WC ITT
1x WC RR
5x stages Vuelta
Just off the top of my head at 24. Thats like 6 huge wins already.

Maybe it's just me but I don't count TT as big wins.
I might be wrong but I think this win makes Remco the first rider to win all of the following:
-WCTT
-Olympic TT
-Continental TT championship
-a Giro TT
-a Tour TT
-a Vuelta TT
Impressively this is still true even if we exclude the european championship which is a relatively new race of questionable importance. And all that at just 24 years of age. He really looks like the definitive TT rider of his generation.
Edit: dammit I was beaten

Didn't think he could do it as I thought he was running on fumes at the end of the tour, that's what being 24 is about I guess.
Completely forgot that he fluked a win in 19. Luck merchant.
Olympic gold is a big win.
Only Hour record is missing.
I remember getting flamed by the forum, for stating that Ganna was lucky in 2020 and 2021 that Evenepoel crashed in 2020, because that -unlike popular opinion at the time- Ganna was not a better TT'er. Almost as hilarious as me getting flamed for stating in 2022 that Evenepoel was a more talented TT'er than Küng by a great margin, and that him beating Küng by a few seconds meant it was actually a bad TT for Evenepoel. Good times.
Great win for Remco. Very happy for him..
I know the Olympic TT doesn’t rate quite as high as the Olympic RR. Regardless Remco’s collection of titles is impressive and rare:
Gold + GT win + WC + monument.
Gold + GT win + WC + monument.
Remco's TT is pure art. Awesome win champ!

Basically all the cards that were going to determine the winner were stacked against him, yet he did. I truly believe an impeccable double gold is in the works.
