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

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

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.
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!!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...

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!
The situation is probably worse than that. Remco is carrying a cake in the stomach.
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.
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.
Well in Remco defence he didn't actually eat it, he only day dreamed about eating it.
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!
It's ok to eat cake. It's not like these riders only eat vegetables with rice and a piece of fish...
Like @Karl Merckx said in the Dauphiné thread, Remco isn’t in proper shape yet. Apparently he’s still far from his best Basque form due to having to sit still for 3 weeks. We’ll see how he handles Dauphine, but based on this I don’t even see him finish top 5.

Nu nog niet voor de knikkers, in de Tour wel? "Conditionele achterstand" werkt Evenepoel volgens coach wel weg in Dauphiné | sporza
2 maanden na zijn vermaledijde crash in de Ronde van het Baskenland duikt de Belgische tricolore vanaf zondag weer in het peloton op. "Maar Remco heeft niet het niveau dat hij nu normaal zou hebben", tempert zijn coach Koen Pelgrim de verwachtingen voor de Dauphiné.
No worries mate, doubtless the team monitors his fat percentage, which for the Tour will likely be at 3%-5%.
