"Well it's certainly an incredible performance by the kid, and no mistake he might soon be the best TT Rider in the World. But he's not yet, and the Chrono de Nations or whatever the balls it's called, doesn't seem like the best measuring stick, no? It's and end of season race that's exactly no one's target. Remco rode it so he could put on his rainbow slippers."Understood your point. Just wasn’t understanding why my comments about Remco and Ganna “needed to be contextualized” with comments about Tarling. He’s a phenom, but he ain’t there yet. Beat those two on form in an A race and we can talk. I’m sure he will soon enough. But he hasn’t yet, so he’s not in the conversation.
Remco is always expected to win, but this year's losses had more weight, thus no need to add one more just for good measure. I call that a useless excersize and not the way to end a season. It seems QS still doesn't know how to manage one who wants to win all 3 GTs and as many races that really count as he is able.Can't see why that would matter, he's got a long winter to recover. He wanted to showcase the jersey. Seems totally normal and a nothing-burger as far as accumulated fatigue, mental or otherwise.
Yeah, what a mistake from QS to send him to the race he won't win. They should've knew better...Remco is always expected to win, but this year's losses had more weight, thus no need to add one more just for good measure.

And that was a month ago and worth what next season? Every season is a reboot although a little less variable for the specialists. Unless, of course; they found a stash of worms....Because the point was if he had the setup he got immediately after worlds at worlds, he would have been extremely close to Remco and Ganna. So the point that he only beat Remco at Chrono des Nations (took all of two attempts) is a little moot. TT'ing is fundamentally linked to equipment and it took Tarling getting 3rd at worlds for him to be given something even in the same stratosphere of the level of support that Remco and Ganna had.
They should only send him to races, when they know the win is certain! How else will he be able to maintain his reputation as the new Merckx. The almighty. Stupid QS.Yeah, what a mistake from QS to send him to the race he won't win. They should've knew better...
Indeed, only dauphine or suisse after spring, and NCWith his high base level they probably should look at how Jumbo used to handle Roglic's schedule before a gt.
Spring peak and then very little racing before the Tour.
Dauphine or Slovenia or even the Belgium Tour sounds like a good plan to me.Indeed, only dauphine or suisse after spring, and NC
No way they'll let him race Dauphine before the Tour. Or at least I hope not. It's Vingegaard's playground. Vingegaard destroys the competion in the mountains there, physically and mentally.Indeed, only dauphine or suisse after spring, and NC
He will have to face soon or later vingegaard and the others like pogacar and roglic, so it doesn't make sense skipp the dauphine because of that.No way they'll let him race Dauphine before the Tour.

Wasn't Adam Yates like: "Um, wow. LOL. Maybe we'll find some extra watts in a couple weeks. Yeah right, lmao"
When you KNOW this dude Vingegaard is basically just warming up, breathing through the nose. So what if his time trial is still sh!te in that race.
He can mistime his peak because of it. He has finished a one-week race tired before.He will have to face soon or later vingegaard and the others like pogacar and roglic, so it doesn't make sense skipp the dauphine because of that.
A true remco fan would include the biggest race of the year classica San sebastian in his schedule, since it will once again be his main goalStrade bianche
TA/PN
Milan san remo
Itzulia basque country
Liege bastogne liege
Dauphine
Tour de France
This would be the most suitable calendar for remco evenepoel. He can target one day races/monuments, one week races, and then the Tour.
I also think pogacar, Vingegaard and roglic could do a similar calendar. Strade bianche to prepare for the gravel in the Tour, one week races, and still they can target monuments(specially for pogacar).
Maybe pogacar could done tour flandres instead of Itzulia.
Just 23/24 days of racing before the Tour, very well balanced.
Indeed, he should ride Suisse and win it by a couple of seconds from Roglic. More fun for the forumNo way they'll let him race Dauphine before the Tour. Or at least I hope not. It's Vingegaard's playground. Vingegaard destroys the competion in the mountains there, physically and mentally.

His schedule according to Journalists from HLN (Belgian sensation newspaper).
There are still some gaps to be filled, but the major goals make sense. Quite the year this will be.
- Volta ao Algarve
- Paris-Nice or Tirreno-Adriatico
- Milano San Remo
- Amstel Gold Race and/or Fleche Wallone
- Liège
- Tour de France
- Olympic Games
- World Championship
- Lombardia
Is Giro + TdF really a good idea if you want to target both the Olympics and the Worlds, though? Add the classics in the springs and I think it would be difficult to hit all of those races in good form, even if one of the GTs is not ridden for GC.that does leave room for the giro if he wants. Very similar to the schedule I suggested (except for Algarve instead of UAE and play with Oumi time). That is only 43 racing days. A giro only puts that to 64, which is around what he had done the past 2 seasons

It doesn't make sense for him to race the giro. He needs to test himself against the best in the Tour. He's got many years to win the giro, it's more easy to win the giro because the competition is not so stronger than in the tour, so he is naturally gonna win the giro in the future. Now, he needs to try the tour.that does leave room for the giro if he wants. Very similar to the schedule I suggested (except for Algarve instead of UAE and play with Oumi time).

It's only 43 racing days because after Liège only the big goals are mentioned. I would assume he'd ride a stage race before the Tour de France (Dauphiné, Suisse, Tour of Belgium) + the NC's and he'll probably also ride warm up races before the WC and Lombardia.that does leave room for the giro if he wants.
