Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

Remco's back in Belgium. Just saw him in Geraardsbergen.
I kept my car doors closed.

Het voorjaar in het wielrennen staat bol van de sportieve ambities, maar voor de familie Evenepoel wordt deze periode overschaduwd door intens verdriet. Pascal Vanherberghen, een man die als stille kracht jarenlang meeliep in het spoor van Remco, is onverwacht overleden.

Cited text translates (per Firefox) as:

The spring in cycling is full of sporting ambitions, but for the Evenepoel family this period is overshadowed by intense sadness. Pascal Vanherberghen, a man who walked for years as quiet strength in the track of Remco, has died unexpectedly.

I came upon an article from a couple of days ago, where the greatest cyclist of all time, Eddy Merckx, discussed cycling in general but also Pogacar and Evenepoel in an interview together with his son. Nothing much was said on Remco, just that they are looking forward to see him race again.

Eddy: “It’s also time for Remco Evenepoel to return. That collision during training was a serious blow.”

Axel: “In terms of pure talent, Remco is perhaps the best together with Pogacar. Pogacar is better as a climber, Remco as a time trialist.”

Eddy: “Pogacar is more complete, but the engine of those two is the same.”

It's official, he's riding Tour de Romandie. Now hopefully Vingegaard joins too.
