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

[Oldermanish]

Only follow Evenepoel if you can follow Evenepoel, otherwise let it be, take a photo and give up the megalomania. I ran into Laurent Fignon on the road at Antibes in 92, past his golden days, and thought "***, that's Laurent Fignon," and the fact that I did not pursue him made all the diference. He smiled gently at my salute, and that was that. But that was back in 92, no social media, some decorum.

yeah...no. Don't follow any rider that suggests they don't need company. It's common courtesy that should extend to pros. Your experience with Laurent bears out the acknowledgement of that courtesy. Why am I even....?!!!

Well, I meant that as an impossibility.

I came here to see the latest on Remco and it wasn't that big of a deal.

Bummed to see another with that yellow-ish oval under their screen name. It's always sad and always hope for rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation is going fine. Thanks for the acknowledgment

I'm sorry to post this if it's inconvenient to those who made the decision to ban "Logic is your Friend", but I for one am asking to please reconsider and please bring him back. I'm positive that if he hurt someone's feelings it wasn't with malice. He has been a great contributor and his good outweighs the bad.

I think normal ban length is two weeks.

If I were a pro like Pogacar I’d spend the occasional day dressing up incognito and smoking all the best amateurs on big climbs, maybe towing a baby or doing it on a street cruiser basket bike.

Or staying on Remcos wheel annoyingly.

Pretty sure that comment was about a different poster

It was although I do also enjoy the contributions of Logic though would wish that he held his cool better

 

[Andy schleck]

Why they banned logic is your friend? What he did?

It can be difficult when STUPID is distilled to an annoying sauce. You can't get the taste out of your mouth and the need to respond is unrestrainable....opinions can be bitter.

He got to friendly with logic. But i am rather sure that by the time Remco hits the road again. Engines should crank up again in full power. We are all looking forward to that.

I get that in relation to bickering with a fellow poster whose opinions grate on you but I don’t believe that is what the ban was for and it was something that he would know full well broke the forums rules about where such comments can be made.

He made a series of comments in poor taste about what happened to Sonny Colbrelli last year. I don't know exactly what happen and whether he got banned for that but that the last thing I saw before banned

 

[Berniece]

In an interview with the Belgian newspaper HLN, Remco told he’ll mostly ride for Jakobsen in most stages. Only the stage of Thursday, the mountain stage, he rides to win the race.

He’ll be part of the sprint train from kilometer 4-5 to kilometer 1.

 

[SafeBet]

It's so fitting that we keep this thread going even when there's nothing to discuss about Remco... by discussing about Logic. I'm sure he'd be proud.

There isn't even the traditional time trial at San Juan. Alto Colorado is not very steep either. I think it's good for Remco to ride for other early to build form. However, there's not much of a carrot for San Juan.

Maybe he's going to become a much better sprinter.

Maybe he's going to win 5 stages by starting his leadout at 2km and riding away from the peloton. All Lampaert has to do is let go his wheel.

 

[Andre]

Remco for the overall.

Based on the team Quickstep has at the start of the race I'm pretty sure they are mostly just paid very very well.

Kind of hoping that Bernal will show 2019 form and we will see a great clash. We need more material for the Bernal v. Evenepoel v. Pogacar thread.

Funny forget the last winner of the tour.
Bernal 2019 form would get buried at the tour by pogacar and vingegaard. Remco would kill bernal on TT.
He wouldn't stand a chance.

I am sure he will be part of the spirit train for Remco from km 4-5 to km 1

 

[CyclistAbi]

Wait. Remco starts his season tomorrow? That indeed is cruel. We will try to keep the thread alive. Till the backups arrive.
