On such terrain, Remco isn't stronger than Mathieu and we know Tadej and Mathieu are the best.Not on a long and steep climb. But in some cases, in a hilly stage with maybe one not to hard (finish)climb, he would/could.

Who's talking about LBL course?Remco not stronger than VDP on an LBL course?
WTF?

Mathieu better than Remco in Liège or San Sabastian ? Really ?On such terrain, Remco isn't stronger than Mathieu and we know Tadej and Mathieu are the best.
He probably thinks you mean an easier profile.Mathieu better than Remco in Liège or San Sabastian ? Really ?
Who's talking about those races?Mathieu better than Remco in Liège or San Sabastian ? Really ?
The talking is about a hilly parcours where Remco could do a raid.Who's talking about those races?
A punchy climber. He's very good on steep and uneven climbs, best with shorter efforts and packs a mean sprint. He dealt much better with the accelerations on Lo Port than Evenepoel did.How would you describe him? He spends most of his time in a train and usually attacks in the final 1k.
Evenepoel does not thrive with many changes in tempo. Rogla does.In that case Evenepoel is also not a tempoclimber and similar to Roglic. Both have a punchy sprint. But when i see both Evenepoel or Roglic climb on their own, i can't really recall either climbing like Contador or Pantani. When they climb on their own, they climb from the saddle and at a steady pace. For me the fact that they both have a punchy sprint, doesnt change how they climb. But if you guys want to use a different label, that's totally fine. The point is that they are similar.

Purito also usually attacked in the final km, and he too was no tempo climber. Basso was a tempo climber.

You did. Hilly, with one more difficult climb. As we find in LBL.Who's talking about LBL course?

How could roglic do that ? He has never the lead of a group.This is true about Roglič.
G Thomas explained some of this during one of his Giro 2023 podcasts, i.e. where he described how Rog was changing pace on the climbs like a pure climber in order to disrupt his own rhythm.
He said it was annoying.
Maybe he meant in that stage before the 2nd TT, where Roglic was able to take some time on Remco due to him already having covid?How could roglic do that ? He has never the lead of a group.

How to say "i don't watch races, i just check PCS" without saying it.That's not how he won the Vuelta, though.
vs Mas
ITT: 1:51
TTT: 0:29
As I recall, he dictated pace a lot but it was only on stage 9 that he rode people off his wheel. He crashed on stage 12 but it was not bad. I’m not saying it didn’t impact him, but he looked the strongest of the GC riders finishing that stage. Mas was quicker on the climbs in aggregate than Remco. Roglic put :56 into him on stage 14 (likely some impact from crash, but also could have been some cumulative fatigue).How to say "i don't watch races, i just check PCS" without saying it.
He couldn't get off his bike without people carrying him off 2 days after the crash.As I recall, he dictated pace a lot but it was only on stage 9 that he rode people off his wheel.
