I think tomorrow (or this weekend) he'll have an important check up.Back on the bike! Revalidation is going well.
(also, I had to go to page 2 to find Remco's page ... Logic, you're slacking.)
I assume you're joking, but if not, team doctors already told him last month he should get that idea out of his head. On the other hand he seems eager and pigheaded, but i can't imagine them letting him go considering it's only 3 weeks before the Vuelta starts, even if the fracture has healed perfectly. He has a high base level, but he's lost a lot of muscle, can't really see this as an option. What would he be able to do if he'd end up going? He couldn't realistically go for a GC surely, even going for a stagewin seems pretty unlikely. Though maybe there is something to be said for just gaining some experience.Let's hope he does the Vuelta
Is there a one week stage race starting later than the Vuelta that has a time trial. That could be a useful test and be psychologically easier for him than having to wait until January to race again.
Obviously with the proviso of good medical results and sustained good power data from multiple training rides.
Yeah, I'm joking. Mostly. Of course the responsible thing to do - and also what's gonna happen - is to call it a season. But man I miss watching him race. I can't remember ever having been this down about a rider crashing and ending his season early.I think tomorrow (or this weekend) he'll have an important check up.
PS: now that Remco is a successful pro, most news is quickly picked up by mainstream cycling media. I try to be somewhat selective of the news to post. But i was going to post this, if you hadn't beaten me to it.

I'm going to trust his cousin here to have the best information.I think the team and the doctors have been pretty clear, the season is over.
If he's hungry to race soon: only a few months until TDU....
Well, we'll see how Remco returns from the injury, and of course LRP is super strong right now, but I wouldn't put anything past Evenepoel.Not a chance in hell against LRP
I have to say I love how he acts on social media. It's like he's just an average fanboy who shares his thoughts about the races he isn't a part of. You definitely don't see many high-profile riders so obviously being themselves on Twitter.

After last month, i don't think he'd let a good opportunity to ridicule UCI pass by.I have to say I love how he acts on social media.

T-1000 ready for finetuning
Hell im not a fan but I’d pay to see him beat Richie at #Willunga2021. Richie would cry into retirement.If he's hungry to race soon: only a few months until TDU....
Sorry, I'm not very familiar with all the computer data numbers. Are those numbers good? And secondly, what were his previous numbers before the crash? I mean as far as watts and power and all that. If I could understand it then I could also follow his progress. Thank you.Back on the bike! Revalidation is going well.

That's not even close to what he's capable of pushing in full fitness. Those are numbers regular people could push. Theoretically he should be able to push over 400W for one hour, according to old data.Sorry, I'm not very familiar with all the computer data numbers. Are those numbers good?

He looks skinny, which makes him look taller imho.God, he looks so grown up, happened within a few months?
