@Peyroteo94 And it's a point i can accept. Not whatever was mentioned about the importance of the Belgian RR.
I disagree with it. But i can accept that viewpoint. I too don't see remco winning the tour this year.
And him getting some wins under his belt will no doubt help his confidence. The amount of times he mentioned how deep the hole was after the crash, shaky winter, means he ain't as confident as he lets out.
I just don't see that as a main reason for him participating. Aide from RR being mandatory (though the sickness excuse would no doubt been accepted), i just find Remco to be very nationalistic. Dude properly loves belgium. And has shown time and time again the desire to represent belgium. That and i consider it a proper race. The kind you want to win. And no doubt Remco wants to win. Though i'm not fully sure about his chances.
I think there are cobbles on the important sectors. And not sure if the climb is hard enough to rid himself of Van Aert.
