Yeah, I've seen him on Strava running in the Morgan Hill (Specialized) area a bit to the south of where I'm at.

We get Kate Courtney training on all the trails we ride locally. Uphill her times are ridiculous, but it actually kinda pisses me off that she's faster than me on some of the downhills. :D The steeper it gets the more I have an edge on her...

At first glance I thought you were talking about Courtney Cox...I was wondering why would you be boasting about being faster than a 60 year old actress

Remco & co having fun today at the beach.

Zo zagen we hem nog niet vaak afzien: Remco Evenepoel waagt zich aan ritje op het strand met Lampaert en co

Remco Evenepoel (24) vertoefde gisteren aan de Belgische kust. De dubbele olympische kampioen ging er op het strand fietsen met enkele ploegmaats, waaronder Yves Lampaert en Tim Merlier. En dat leek hem toch wel enige moeite te kosten.

Not a car guy personally, they tend to be bad investments as well. I would be fine with your basic car. I understand luxury models for comfort, but unless you live in germany sports models don't make sense to me, as you need to follow road regulation anyway. For me it's just convenient transport from A to B. But Remco has the money so why not i guess.

He doesn't buy them. He gets a new one every year, last year he got a BMW X5. He just needs to ride with it, it's a form of sponsorship.

Seems to be enjoying his off season, sure I saw him and Mrs E in the pits, possibly with Alpine, at this weekends Qatar F1 GP.

Yes, he was invited by the Alpine team.

Also, at the risk of starting a new Fatco/Slimco endless discussion, I have a feeling that he's looking leaner/sharper this offseason than during previous offseasons. Maybe he's trying to keep his climbing weight during the whole year with fewer fluctuations. Or maybe it's just the haircut and my eyes are deceiving me.

I agree that he looks leaner than normally during offseason. It'll be interesting to see how he looks during PN/TA. If he really wanted to focus more on 1-week and GT racing, he should be closer to his TDF weight there too.

For those interested, this week a new book has been published about Remco Evenepoel named Full Gas.

Remco Evenepoel goes full gas. He rode a unique record of achievement in just a few years. He became world champion several times and won classics and tours including the Vuelta. In 2024 he came third in his first Tour, two times Olympic champion and world champion time trial.

In this book Filip Osselaer talks to Remco, his great love Oumi, parents, friends, trainers and specialists about what drives him. They are moving, profound stories full of tension, sadness, joy, drama, joy, success.

Got the same impression. He's turning 25, i guess he got rid of the baby fat.

He's been brought to the hospital this morning after a crash during training. No more information yet. Doesn't seem severe at first sight, but a fracture is always possible.

Edit: apparently he collided with a car of the national postal service, which are famous for not always following traffic rules with care.

For some reason I can't include the picture, so here it is.
