Shoulder seems fine
Let Remco evenepoel enjoy his life, he came out of the gulag some weeks ago.
He should be able to get completely ready for the TDF. He’s even riding the Dauphine or Suisse, which he wouldn’t do if he wasn’t able to perform at the highest level in the Tour. He would train more, so he’s fine.
Now that Vingegaard isn’t riding the Dauphine, that’s also a great shot to win that. Just hope they ride more aggressive in the first stages compared to Paris-Nice.

The only reason Remco is already cheering vigorously at a football match is due to modern medicine. That is one gets a metal plate installed to align a broken bone and from the outside world the heeling process looks much quicker. The bone itself still needs weeks to heal properly. So although it's manageable i feel that injury will affect his Tour form to some extent.

He will be fine, unless he had broken in the past the collarbone several times.
I don't particularity like such attitude as it gives impression it's basically nothing and you are fine after a day or two. Previous injuries likely wouldn't make much difference as the plate will likely stay in the body for a while. There could be issues with positioning on the bike and similar. The only good thing about it is it is likely still manageable, that is Remco can reach reasonable form till the Tour start.
Since he, and the team said the Tour isn’t in danger, and since he’s going on altitude starting this weekend, I don’t see an issue with his TDF preparation
I said i don't expect Remco reaching 100% form for this Tour edition, not that i don't believe he can participate by reaching reasonable form.
No, but happened 3 months before the Tour, and the team said he will be fine.
Lets wait till they say Remco has reached 100%. As on how couldn't he be fine, young lad on top of his game.
Since you are fan of both, i have to ask, do you often argue with yourself when nobody else is around?
Indeed, but I think both of them are going to wait until after the TT to attack each other
The bones need months to heal because most people won't stop playing once the pain goes away.
Dauphine may very well be a continuation of last years Catalyuna. Mano a mano match race, except there is an intermediate length TT
New episode on his youtube channel about his road to recovery
Perfect TT or crit warmup when you don't have much time. You can admit to hating doing this.
He looks way ahead of the other guys that crashed!

He’s already doing 200km rides, even with cobbled climbs from Brabantse Pijl.
