Exactly and that's why they won't go too low on a calculated regime basis, because it's counter produtive. End of story, so no need to regulate it, unless...

After the mythical contador 'he's having good sensations' and the mythical froome 'numbers in training', now we will have the mythical remco 'at the optimal weight'.

You're just trying to divert attention because you fear at one point we'll start discussing your weight. Admit it.This thread has never been stupider than when discussing another man’s weight.

I don't know about you, but i didn't think 68kg is his ideal weight, just because he won races early '22.
The issue with Evenepoel is that he is a TT'er, a classics rider, and a GC/GT rider. and that his ideal GT weight will greatly differ from his ideal long flat TT weight. I'm sure that's easy enough to understand.

Can he fluctuate his weight so much as to be ideal for the races he targets, against the route, and against the competition he faces? There's never much talk about other riders and their weight, only this lad. I can't understand the obsession with his weight all the time.

There was some talk about Pogacars weight in relation to his Flanders/Tour attempts, with Vingegaard weight is also a Thema (but it’s about how light he is, not that he’s heavier for other targets of course). For Geraint Thomas weight is also a major subject, he’s spoken a bit about it in his podcast for example.

Which riders? You see Pogacar, Vingegaard or Roglic beating Ganna and Tarling in a 50k flat TT to claim the rainbow jersey? I sure didn't, lol. Let me know when Vingegaard goes for a 270km WCC RR and ITT after winning LBL and then we'll talk. Ok? Or when Van der Poel wins the Vuelta.

Why are you asking this and why do you think it is relevant to the discussion? You think the Olympic TT was a long flat TT?
I think i'm saying you need to read before responding.

If i rember correctly VdP was also aiming to be a couple of kg lighter when he was preparing MTB event compared to road/cyclocross.

I think your optimal race weight could be maybe 83,763 kg.

Van Mol told Terpstra he could win RVV if he lost 2kg. A year later, Terpstra lost 2kg and guess what he won...

In this thread we are all experts on optimal race weight based on little information, so I’m not surprised.
