Doubt there’s any truth to it, still no proper news outlet wrote a story about it, and both of them are responding to each other on socials. Maybe she is just tired of people on the internet, which is why she deleted a lot of her posts, or aware of her privacy but that ship has probably sailed.

I thought instant bald fraud when Slot cracked that pose, no way this clown is even cracking the top 6, we all did don't lie.

In other news, no Evenepoel/Roglic meeting until July this season, what a disaster for cycling and sport as a whole. Surely he isn't ducking Primoz? He should sack off the ciciban Ardennes races and go full steam to try and make Catalunya, that's the face off everyone wants to see.

Evenepoel vs Rogla is like Giro to Tour. The true fans of the sport know it's the superior rivalry

No no no, all those 'sacking off' the great ardennes races should revise their schedules and man up in proper races, not some minor spanish week long points fodder/ training races.
 
Does this invalidate my statement?

I'm sure the Pope was very concerned that their Sacred Union may have been violated, but even he must realize that without sin there can be no redemption, and ultimately no job for crusty old men in robes. I, otoh, am not a man of the cloth, and so have an ikigai that doesn't rely on delivering moral judgment.
I just said they also got married to add to what you were saying.

What are you on about?

In a new video on his YT channel, Evenepoel shows his own store, and the charity action he did for a Belgian radio station. Not that interesting, but by the end of the video you can already see him without a brace, and seems to be moving more easily with his arms.


makes me suspect that the lengthy recovery time is just Remco being ultra conservative.

If he's back on the bike in Feb, he should be able to make Catalyuna. Even PN would be a good 4 weeks on the bike before the race

In the latest news article i saw pop up, it said remco has more or less decided on no giro this year.
So further confirmation of what we already suspected. It also claims Remco saying being top in the TdF is all that matters. And the rest of the season (prior to that) is extra.

I'm sure that for some people this is good news. Me personally, I think putting all your eggs in one basket isn't the best thing to do. It just takes one crash. Look at WVA. WVA could have easily won himself a few belgian Cyclocross chips. Easily won the WC Cyclocross that Pidcock won. Could have won a couple of Spring road races if he decided to participate. I think he skipped a Belgian TT championship as well in which Remco, and other main rivals were also not active, ... . Instead he has been putting all of his eggs on Flanders and Roubaix past 2 years, and nothing to show for it.
