It’s alright, he’s probably still insecure about Evenepoel being able to earn 10M at Bora while Pogacar only earns a measly 8M at UAE
Not bothered at all. I like seeing riders getting paid more and more. Cycling is brutal and it's nice to see this sport growing and getting more popular. The only thing I said was Bora is overpaying him because they are desperate to have one of the Big 6 in the future (Roglic is getting old). But of course you misjudge everything.
Never said Remco told he would have dropped Pogacar in stage 17 if he went all out. But there was a user (a Remco diehard fan) who said that and I just answer to it. Some of you need to back to reality and see things rationally but maybe it is a belgian characteristic.
 
That beeing said its cope and fans should know better it just put em into a bad light as not sincere/objective imo. Evenepoel did good why not leave it at that he is a young fantastic talent still in cycling terms historically at 24 years old in GT perspective thats young historically. No need to make it out to be anything else. Two guys are better than him it shoudlnt be anything anyone even debate at the moment in a GT even..
No one is saying otherwise, it’s just that people don’t see saying: “during stage 17 when i had a gap I didn’t went all out because I didn’t prepare or expect that to happen”, as coping.

hehe get it didnt read past all pages, my bad. While i agree about the coping stuff to some degree before not in this particular case, this year or during the Tour been all W assesements to me more or less. Theres alot of nitpicking to find stuff to hate on Evenepoel for weird reasons to me, alot of that, which make no sense to me. Guy is offensive on and off the bike, cocky, talented, good its nothing bad about that.

As it happened i was on youtube, when 'Remco perche ti amo came up. Would be nice if 2025 is the year this song can be played during the final podium of the giro.

Also i like the Mamba mentality comment. Although it don't fully translate to his own personality. He has the work ethic, but i don't think he will ever think of his competition as enemies to overcome.

No indeed, cycling isn’t that cut throat anymore. It’s not really a contact sport, or a sport influenced by taunting like Basketball.
 
I don't know if its been mentioned yet, but apparently Remco is in California training with wind tunnels and researching nutrition info.
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...

Ah yes kateplusfate...I get her updates on instagram. Hey, if you see Remco please tell him to follow me on Strava...lol...I have asked him but he politely ignored me:grin:

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
