Maybe i'm guilty of slightly overrating Remco, or expecting to much. But if you told me at the start of 2024 that Remco would finish the season without 1 semi-classic/classic win and without 1 major GC win. I would have had a hard time believing that. That crash & coming back obviously cost him. And what he did achieve was great. But i do believe the Olympics saved his season.
 
Flandern and then Giro is a perfect recepie to enter a GT with 2 kilos too much
Just read what he said regarding flandern next year and that he dont think he can stay away next year didnt say the best prep, also I wanne see him at the Tour not Giro if I could choose.

Just have a feeling he gonne line up in Flandern next year duo to his comments about it early this year, might depend on Pog idk.
 
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.

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.
