Sure, but the races he can win are more limited than Merckx, and doubling up in GTs is much harder.He will get better, just as Merckx did
Merckx wasn't winning everything at age 22. His big breakout came at 24
So, biggest favourite for the Velo d'Or now?
Yes, absolutelySo, biggest favourite for the Velo d'Or now?
Tour and Worlds doubleThe next world championships are in August, rather than September. A conspiracy against Remco.
4th rider in history to win a monument, a grand tour and the world championship in one season.
I just hope he fully recovers. That crash has the potential to become the biggest "what if" in cycling history and I pray that's not gonna happen.
Okay I concede it should be Van Aert now.So, where do we stand?
We needed an argument to counter in case some clown started posting Disney images.Is it now okay to safely say that this fortunately wasn't the case?
Last time I brought it up (probably after Liège) people were not quite ready to agree.
I don't know. Do you think they got his weight right? Imagine how much better he would be if he just lost the fat.Is it now okay to safely say that this fortunately wasn't the case?

He would only know if there was a Tracteur d'Or.Lampaert thinks he should win "something like the Ballon d'Or of cycling"... WTF. Do these guys not even know there is a Velo d'Or?
I don't see him winning MSR, PR or Flanders any time soon.Remco seems to have done quite well in a variety of races. Only pure sprint races he likely wouldn't win (unless of course, he solos away)
Agreed. I would be very surprised if he wins one of those races in the upcoming 5 months.I don't see him winning MSR, PR or Flanders any time soon.
