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

Kinda like the white with gold touches more than the full gold bike.

Full gold was cool for a bit, but would be obnoxious for 4 years...

Is there a better image besides the video? Hard to see

Remco isn't explosive and he's a poor descender. I don't see how San Remo would benefit him.

not a poor descender anymore, he's above average nowadays.

For as bad as Remco was on the Galiber, he still caught Vingo before the descent ended

I don’t know why you’re stuck on this strange position. He was terrible on the technical part of the descent, which is what people mean when they refer to descending skills. He caught up as part of a small group on the part section that was more shot being aero, in a group, and pushing watts.

he still was better overall. Descending is not just the technical parts

Isn’t the MSR descent pretty twisty, more akin to the first section over the top of the Galibier? I’m not saying he can’t stay with them, but history indicates if anyone pushes the pace there he will get dropped. If no one gets away and the fast guys are in it, it definitely could regroup tho, in which case he could come back and catch them napping.
