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

[Valv.Piti]

Nah bro, Pogi will hit different this year, I respect and believe my guy mou. He told me that, and I will believe him until proven otherwise. Ready for destruction come the Ardennes. Actually he already started, and hes my favorite for MSR with it being MVP's first race as well.

Catalunya, meh, he will win the race with one leg without proper comp. Thats just a solid training block at this stage, no joke. Result is given

Lets hope, don't want another repeat of "I'm gone. I'm dead."

I guess the only difference is he is not racing against neo-pros as his competition for the win.

The neo-pros of 2022; Mas, Lopez, Roglic, Almeida etc surely have a bright future the next 10-12years.

Roglic? Pog & Vinge!

I have a T-shirt with that quote. If he's going to crack at least do it as spectacularly as last year so I can extend my wardrobe further with Pog merch.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Roglic? Pog & Vinge!

Maybe I didn’t pay enough attention, I didn’t see the two of them in the Vuelta 2022.

Rogla was crashed out?
So Rogla finished ahead of Remco Giro 2023.

I still think you don’t know what you’re answering to.

Remco losing race to another visma android, really wonder what he could have been in that team if fusion really happened.

 

[AmRacer]

Remco has now, in GC, finished ahead of G. Thomas* and Roglic.

 

[Berniece]

He rode pretty good this Paris-Nice besides that tactical mistake. He wanted the podium and got it together with a stage win and 2 jerseys. All in all a good week, just not perfect.

Totally agree, vlab are leagues ahead of everyone else in terms of training and nutrition.

 

[EddyMazzoleni]

Nice week, shame for some tactical mistake and the rain in the TT.

Now will he race Itzulia or straight to Ardenne classic?

He's on the list for Itzulia I'm pretty sure.

Yes Itzulia, Ardenne trio, NC (road + TT), Dauphiné and Tour.

So... what race did he just win a stage in? CQ seems to be confused...

You know, it is somewhat funny that a phenom like RE, who blows up races himself, looks like a human compared to JoJo and Teddy. I mean, if either of them were in Paris Nice this year it would also have been a snooze fest. The final stage would have been a solo TT way ahead of everyone. It's pretty interesting

Earlier this year, they also listed the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, AlUla Tour for a short while.

I must say, after the previous efforts, what Evenepoel did today was no less exceptional than Pogacar or Vingegaard, but with a deceptive result, because he did not win GC (Roglic? Bernal? left in the wake). Jorgensen indeed deserves PN, a real gladiator. Chapeaux

Oh they are way ahead alright.

I party agree, but it was not quite as exceptional

Vinge and Poggi drop every one. That's the difference.

 

[Extinction]

I get that, however, the gaps were similar and, after all, who were they racing? At least Remco had Roglic, who has been putting his "best numbers" for this time of year. Yet I'm not dilussional, as Teddy and Fish-man are still, at the present moment, on a higher plain.

 

[Extinction]

Vinge and Poggi drop every one. That's the difference.

But who? At this point of the season, it's a valid question.

 

[Extinction]

And...he was not able to drop Jorgensen, which I think Vingegaard or Pogacar would have. Still, the competition here, in theory, was better.
