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

Der Strudel 2.0!

Seriously, what is he doing? Even as a Remco fan, this is one really bad look

What do you think is an issue in that picture? The cake? Riders eat a lot of carbs, I don’t think it’s an issue that sometimes it’s mostly sugar. How many sugars are their in the packs they eat during the race?

There's sugar and there's sugar. Same same but not so different.

Now we have an excuse for the TDF, he didn’t ride podium because he ate 1 slice of cake.

Lots of sugar added to his coffe

Looks like Remco is on a strict diet to kick Teddy's fat ass in July and officially take the new Merckx title without any asterisks.

One slice of cake we KNOW about. How many others?! Was there a croissant as well? Look at the whipped cream! Sacré bleu!

It's cake-gate!

We'll know once we see a picture of him at the start of dauphine. I hope to see him as sharp as at the Vuelta of '22.

It is part of the plan. The deception game is also important. It worked in Normandy!!!

Judging from the picture, it's possible that he only smelled it.

The coffee beverage looks like some of the Starbucks' cardiac arrest in a cup.

You do know I'm kidding about all this, right? I'm sure you do.

I see no reason why he would not be on all-time form for the Tour. He'll be rocking at the Dauphine. So will others. Gonna be a great race.

Please, please, please no crashes...

You guys freaking out, do you have any idea how many calories bike riders are having during a long ride? Whats wrong with a piece of cake now instead of a couple of gels? Its like you don't really have any idea of how that stuff works.

Come on!! It looks like fun

I think people are just having fun. Coffee is a pretty common start or pit stop for professionals. Cycling tourists use coffee shops as the equivalent of the Serengeti or ocean for whale watching to dramatic rare animals. Many places all over have people trying to cross paths with pros with coffee and cake as the crossroads. People spend lots of time and money, obsessively to observe wild animals eating cake in Ginora or Mallorca, places in France. Whatever Remco is eating or drinking, is absolutely the right thing for him. For me seeing a rider eating raw pork spread on a delicious roll in a German meat market is a beautiful thing!!

Yes, I know you are joking. SOQ hired the nutrionist from Visma so I have no doubt that person knows what they are doing, and Evenepoel following those plans perfectly.

It’s more that I’m not sure their performance guy, Koen Pelgrim, knows for sure what the best weight is for Evenepoel. That’s why I’m still hoping they made the right decision when it comes to that.

 

[red_flanders]

Oh, snap! Now we know what happened to INEOS...

You are assuming that Remco is sitting at the table and these guys will deliver his treats!!

 

[memyselfandI]

Not sure this is the monk-like prep I'd hoped to see...

Dang he looks very very lean. Really

Yes, Depluski from INEOS and Remco were sitting at the same table in a bar in Pamel (Belgium) where they have delicious cakes as I can confirm myself.

So now we can blame INEOS, if Remco isn't at his best.

If Remco is carrying 10 liters of excess water i'll know who to blame!

The situation is probably worse than that. Remco is carrying a cake in the stomach.

Too much milk after 🍕

Hey, after several wet, cold stages a couple of tequila shots after dinner and 2 donuts in the morning got me ready to race.
We're talking glazed old fashioned grocery store donuts. The hard stuff. I never weighed more after a stage race than I started so it seemed like a plan.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Well in Remco defence he didn't actually eat it, he only day dreamed about eating it.
