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

[awavey]

First one to win both Olympic golds.

And in the same year.

First man 😉 #justsaying

Insane palmarés. Second best rider in the world in my opinion.

One has to wonder who still thinks otherwise. Last time i set foot in the "big6" topic though, plenty of lost souls still did.

But he's literally ranked 2nd in the UCI rankings by some margin too and Vingo isnt going score much more this year, surely it's not debatable at the moment ?

There is no big6. For me WVA and Roglic are out

He proved in this high pressure circumstance he was unbeatable. I give credit to Matteo for trying but no way he was going to be denied.
Pogacar has accomplished a great season so far but he would not have handled Remco today unless the whole pack cooperated, IMO.

Well done Remco.
Hopefully the world of cycling will appreciate you and recognise the legitimacy of your wins as you consistently are victorious on so many different terrains.

Incredible rider. Will be crushing Pogacar in the GT’s soon enough.

He is far far away from Pogacar in GTs, don't push it.

 

[Pantani_lives]

7/8! Only the European road race is still missing. To think he did all this before turning twenty-five...

 

[KoopaCycling]

Beautiful stuff. Winner mentality through and through.

Also belgian team and WVA were splendid as well.

Where he was 2nd already. Except for the silver medal of the EC TT, he has also all medal colors in NC, EC and WC TT's. He is such a championships beast! Is there actually anyone who comes close after basically 4 full years of being pro?

 

[Ripper]

Classy and amazing win!

... not a huge fan of the dialed in victory celebration, but such is life

He is almost too big to care about the European championship at this point.

 

[ManicJack]

He is almost too big to care about the European championship at this point.

I hope he doesn't race the EC. My luck he would win it and the Worlds and we wouldn't see the best jersey in the peloton for a year.

MVP: RRV and PR
Pog: Giro and Tour
Remco: OL ITT and OL RC

What a season!

Surely you add LBL for Pog as well if you are counting ‘big wins’?

 

[Jan the Man]

Sorry you may have been talking about impressive doubles👍

 

[gregrowlerson]

OL in cycling is second to WC and not comparable to GT's some of you guys😂

Impressive season by Evenepoel by far the second best rider in the world. Awesome season.

Nxt Lvl.

 

[gregrowlerson]

I don't think that Simon Spilak could have ever done that.

 

[houtdffan]

There are the three aliens, and then the humans in their own lower division

 

[gregrowlerson]

Also, he was the only one aiming for this race

Soft peddaled in the Tour, losing minutes in the mountains to Tadej and Jonas.

You know, totally like MVDP.

 

[Valv.Piti]

One has to wonder who still thinks otherwise. Last time i set foot in the "big6" topic though, plenty of lost souls still did.

I dno, its not really a discussion IMO. MVDP and Jonas are highly specialized and are insanely good at what they do, and would definitely in some years or eras considered as the best riders, but you can't argue with that Remco just did and has done the last 2 years

 

[houtdffan]

If Remco can repeat what he did at the Olympics at the Worlds, he should be declared the first ever undisputed world road cycling champion.

He'd have won the Olympic and world TT and RR

 

[veganrob]

Supposedly yes, which surprised me.

Me too. Waste of time.

Yes, he definitely should, but he won't.

Pogacar is coming.
