Meanwhile on Twitter
We've discussed why Remco is still doing UAE Tour and the conclusion was he must be getting a sizeable appearance fee. On paper nobody, other than those needing to secure a contract, needs to be winning right now (Pog is just playing arround, but I can't see his level increasimg that much for the classics), so I guess going to the Middle East won't affect his season plans. Still, let's hope in the future he stays in Europe and does a proper schedule.Remco's fault that he decided to avoid Teddy by not changing his schedule.

Was going over the startlist, I think he is able to ride podium at 85%. At any other race he wouldn’t ride top 5 if his firm was this low.Remco said today he's at 85-90% now, based on some tests in training. Better than last month in Argentina.
Wants a stage win and podium in UAE.
Adam Yates has already done high altitude as prep. I would be surprised if Remco will be able to match him.
Echelons before the climbs? Not sure how realistic that is.Not sure how he wins a stage at 85%. Maybe he thinks his team will win the TTT.

I think it's generally an asspulled number. I don't think they're ever talking about either %of peak W/kg or the the difference between form after winter break compared to peak form.85 % is a meaningless figure. What exactly is it a measure of?

It's a ballpark figure that means, more or less, I'm not at my best, but I still might be able to pull out the can of whoop-arse (or maybe not).85 % is a meaningless figure. What exactly is it a measure of?
I don't think it's prudent to use numbers that don't correspond to a metric. Well, except for referring to qualia in some specific circumstances where that is practical.It's a ballpark figure that means, more or less, I'm not at my best, but I still might be able to pull out the can of whoop-arse (or maybe not).
In any case, I honestly think Yates is so lean and likely perky right now that Remco will get dropped by him on the key stages.
Well, okay, but since he didn't provide the metrics we can only estimate his intention. Let's not take things too seriously, however.I don't think it's prudent to use numbers that don't correspond to a metric.
If that's the case, then no fireworks from him on the climbs. 3kg is a lot! Adam and Jay are gonna have his number me thinks.85-90%? The most relevant number is the comment PL made in a recent article: 3 kg. He is still 3 kg above his target weight.
