Either they have been photoshopped in or the background behind them is virtual/fake.
Only Oumi looks out of place. Possibly they applied some filter which has the unfortunate side-effect of looking cut out (due to changed/unnatural lighting).Either they have been photoshopped in or the background behind them is virtual/fake.
Looking back at it a 2nd time That's what it looks like.I think it's just Remco that has been photoshopped in.
Computational photography. A typical smartphone has a tiny lens, so a lot of processing is done in software to create a decent image in difficult lighting conditions. Add to that some post-processing done by the user and you get this.Either they have been photoshopped in or the background behind them is virtual/fake.

What Wout was really saying though, is that Roglic is old news. Right?
No, actually this was a retweet by naichaca, pissed off by the fact that his favourite rider is not going to the tour face the best riders.What Wout was really saying though, is that Roglic is old news. Right?
That’s a bad take on Remco’s decision. Doesn’t have anything to do with him, but tries to spin it that way.
They should respect remco's decision. Maybe he doesn't feel confident that he can beat those two at the tour after being at the same level of Mas in the mountains, at la vuelta.That’s a bad take on Remco’s decision. Doesn’t have anything to do with him, but tries to spin it that way.
Remco wants to have a very diverse track record. He wants to win multiple monuments, classics, WC (TT's), and all GT's. Since he wants to win all GT's why not race the Giro this year since it's tailored for him, and it also fits perfectly with his growth trajectory?They should respect remco's decision.

"Those two" will have to wait one more year for the honor to be beaten by Remco in Le Tour.They should respect remco's decision. Maybe he doesn't feel confident that he can beat those two at the tour after being at the same level of Mas in the mountains, at la vuelta.
He gets to pick five of his teammates. The other two will be picked by the team.
wonder if he picks Alap. He should as that may be his best climbing support
I'm guessing Van Wilder, Serry, Hirt, Masnada, Vervaeke. The extra two could be guys like Cerny, Cavagna, Ballerini, Steimle, De Clerq, Asgreen, Lampaert...He gets to pick five of his teammates. The other two will be picked by the team.
Van Wilder, Hirt and Masnada should all be equal or better mountain domestiques, as should Cattaneo. Both Van Wilder and Masnada had a rough 2022 with illness and crashes. Neither of them was in their best shape during the Vuelta. If Alaphilippe gets back to his old level, i wouldn't deprive him of leadership at the TDF, probably for the last time (if he stays at QS).wonder if he picks Alap.

This is quite well said!Remco wants to have a very diverse track record. He wants to win multiple monuments, classics, WC (TT's), and all GT's. Since he wants to win all GT's why not race the Giro this year since it's tailored for him, and it also fits perfectly with his growth trajectory?
Just so he can race the Tour with a team that's not good enough in the mountains to support him? Not to mention I'm not so sure he's able to win a Tour already. The Vuelta was impressive, but TDF against Vingegaard and Pogacar is something completely different.
problem is LouLou will want to got to TDF. and, I believe, is in contract year and unlikely to stay as QS goes full-Remco and GC.
