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

[Miha81]

Well this is anticlimactic... Becoming ill in the two GC's you prepared for this year, tough luck.


No

I am not his biggest fan but am feeling robbed of showdown for win again.

 

[FanBoi]

Time to change the thread title.

Most people who follow cycling acknowledge extraordinary talent.

Some people don't, but I wonder what they are doing on a cycling forum, in a thread about Evenepoel, waisting their valuable time...



They could as well be knocking on doors with bibles in their hands and hand out brochures with watchtowers.

But Evenepol; is not an extraordinary talent ..that's just it



he is talented but not extra ordinary...only the fan boys on here think that



Pogacar, MVDP, Vingegaard and Roglic are better than him


So he has won some rainbow jerseys and one day monuments...well so did alot of riders inc Sagan, Gilbert

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Sad to see Remco suffering like this. Maybe he’s not as good at GC as Vinge, Roglic, Pogi, but something is obviously very wrong today. I wanted to see him fight for the victory, even win if deserving. Another race without being able to answer the critics. Hoping for a miraculous recovery.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Something is clearly wrong, but hard to say what it is before he speaks after the stage.
Staying healthy is an important part of elite level endurance sport.

Lol

 

[Didinho]

If it’s just a bad day we could see him in attack mode. But I doubt it when you see him suffering today.

Are you trying to say Sagan wasn’t extraordinary???

[Salvarani]

Let me tell you, I am utterly SHOCKED by this performance on a high mountain stage. I thought this was gonna be the day he shows everyone. We have been told so. Who could have guessed this was gonna happen? No one...

Who amongst us hasn't won rainbow jerseys, one day monuments and a GT?

 

[HelloDolly]

extraordinary

very unusual or remarkable....not in comparison to many riders including Sagan, Gilbert, Pogacar , etc is my point

Don't be childish, he was dropped on the first climb when 50 other people could follow, and his whole team was around him. There's clearly something wrong.

I cant believe it. The best rider?! How?! Nobody could predict this...

 

[Berniece]

I cant believe it. The best rider?! How?!

How he got sick? How did he get sick in the Giro?

 

[Salvarani]

How he got sick? How did he get sick in the Giro?

Just when the real climbing starts as well. So unfortunate. He cant show everyone how strong he is

Next time though!!

That happens sometimes. Are we just going to forget last year? Or you think that he is riding at the same level as last year but dropped by 50 riders at the same time?

I dont know. Maybe he is just not the best rider in the world and that he cant hang in the high mountains with the best. Maybe those people were right all along...

Sure, we'll throw logic out of the window

Dude was climbing with Ganna lol, who probably wasn't even at max. Don't like Remco but you're being a bit ridiculous.

I thought he was gonna smash everyone today based on what we have been told. Maybe those saying he cant climb with the best were on to something.

If he had been finishing around 10th there might been a point proven.
When he’s dropped off a peloton with 50 men and has his whole team babysitting him on the first climb it’s clearly something wrong. Remember this guy won a stage finishing on the top of a pretty big mountain already this Vuelta.

Of course, that must be the reason. Thank you for clarifying !
