A rather traditional/conservative season with sufficient time for altitude. But no Giro-Tour or Sanremo-Flanders experiments.What would your preferred season be for him next year? Assuming Pogi/Vingegaard both do a bit of spring racing and then TDF, Vuelta and WC
Flandern and then Giro is a perfect recepie to enter a GT with 2 kilos too muchEvenepoel is going to Flandern next year.
Oh no, not Remco's weight again 🤣Flandern and then Giro is a perfect recepie to enter a GT with 2 kilos too much
Evenepoel is going to Flandern next year.
I think Vingegaard wants to do the Tour + Vuelta double. They’ll want to set the record straight, close the gap to Pogacar and beat him two times.I am of the believe Vingegaard wil go to the Giro, and Pogacar to the Vuelta next year. As for Evenepoel i would not consider doing the double next year unless the giro parcours is perfectly suited to me. In that case i might even choose to go to the giro and leave the tour be. Once i have chosen my main GT, i'd build the season around that. But who am I to decide for Evenepoel. I just hope he"ll have a succesful season.
He knew Pogi was gone, didn’t want to take risks for Lombardia, and there was dirt in his eye. But mostly the first part.Any comments from Remco after the Giro Del Emilia?
When he knew Pogi was gone, he shedded a tear.He knew Pogi was gone, didn’t want to take risks for Lombardia, and there was dirt in his eye. But mostly the first part.
We all didWhen he knew Pogi was gone, he shedded a tear.
If there´s no flat itt in the tour, I can see him skipping it, even more if the giro is successful.I think Vingegaard wants to do the Tour + Vuelta double. They’ll want to set the record straight, close the gap to Pogacar and beat him two times.
I can see Remco do the Giro + Tour double, but then I don’t expect much from him at WC anymore.
I don't know, I just wrote something to get on the "cycling-is-dead" bandwagon. I'm mostly already looking forward to next season, don't really see anything out of the 2024-ordinary happen this week.Who are 'we'? 😂
These riders don't assume that they will automatically lose when they start. Do you think Vingegaard makes that assumption before the race even start? Why would anyone even start when Pogacar is at the startlist, just don't show up.Even if we have, will he be satisfied to win a stage and get spanked in the mountains? I have my doubts.
Jonas and Pogi has 2-2. That's the difference.These riders don't assume that they will automatically lose when they start. Do you think Vingegaard makes that assumption before the race even start? Why would anyone even start when Pogacar is at the startlist, just don't show up.
My point is that you don't automatically think it's a lost battle, definitely not EvenepoelJonas and Pogi has 2-2. That's the difference.
For the few remaining races, with Remco not at his best, he may acknowledge it's a lost battle. Now he knows what needs to be done to next year, and he will put in the hard hours into that. When he decides to go up against Tadej, he and all of us will see how it goes. I do think he believes he can reach Tadej level, until proven otherwise next season. If ever.My point is that you don't automatically think it's a lost battle, definitely not Evenepoel
