One slice of cake we KNOW about. How many others?! Was there a croissant as well? Look at the whipped cream! Sacré bleu!Now we have an excuse for the TDF, he didn’t ride podium because he ate 1 slice of cake.
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.One slice of cake we KNOW about. How many others?! Was there a croissant as well? Look at the whipped cream! Sacré bleu!

It is part of the plan. The deception game is also important. It worked in Normandy!!!Der Strudel 2.0!
Seriously, what is he doing? Even as a Remco fan, this is one really bad look

The coffee beverage looks like some of the Starbucks' cardiac arrest in a cup.Der Strudel 2.0!

You do know I'm kidding about all this, right?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.
Come on!! It looks like funDer Strudel 2.0!

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!!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.
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.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 are assuming that Remco is sitting at the table and these guys will deliver his treats!!Oh, snap! Now we know what happened to INEOS...

Dang he looks very very lean. ReallyNot sure this is the monk-like prep I'd hoped to see...

So now we can blame INEOS, if Remco isn't at his best.View: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7eWSpgia2d/?igsh=MWh4Y2Q1bjQ0ODczdw==
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.
If Remco is carrying 10 liters of excess water i'll know who to blame!So now we can blame INEOS, if Remco isn't at his best.
The situation is probably worse than that. Remco is carrying a cake in the stomach.If Remco is carrying 10 liters of excess water i'll know who to blame!
Too much milk after 🍕Not sure this is the monk-like prep I'd hoped to see...

Hey, after several wet, cold stages a couple of tequila shots after dinner and 2 donuts in the morning got me ready to race.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.
No worries mate, doubtless the team monitors his fat percentage, which for the Tour will likely be at 3%-5%.Don't kid yourselves with this he didn't eat, he just smelled talk, look at the stains on his lips, he indulged fully, and we will all see the consequences soon when he has to heave the strudels remains, namely fat cells, up the unforgiving french mountains!
