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

If Remco showed up at Strade, I would respect it regardless of the results he achieved. Same goes for RVV. Would love to see it.

Part of me would love to see him show up at Strade, and part of me would fear it as the race that would once again derail his season prep.

Fair point. That said, I think crashing on gravel, while it gives a lot of road rash and hurts like a mo-fo, tends to be less harmful than crashing on pavement.

I feel like his bike-handling looked better this year. At least on the descents. I'd like to see him take on a race like Strade. A big rider like him shouldn't be missing a race like that.

He is not going to race it. Too much of a risk for his TDF focus. He just wants an actual shot without hiccups
