I say keep it shut down. Come back hungry. If you gotta ride, take some descending classes from Hirshci.
Well, Lefevere didn't leave any doubt that riding the Vuelta was out of the question, in a Sporza talkshow. Apparently there were still some reservations whether or not it would be possible, but it seems it's been completely ruled out now. On the other hand, Lefevere said last year that there was no way Evenepoel was going to ride a GT in 2020, and yet a few months later he was planning on winning the Giro, lol. But i guess we can say we'll have to wait for 2021.
Yes, Lefevere also stressed the fact that he lost a lot of muscle in his legs from mostly lying still for 6 weeks.I suspect this one is more a question of noting wanting to take any chances of any set backs by having him come back from injury too quickly?

That's to be expected after such a long period of doing essentially nothing.he looks really skinny...
If I do nothing for 6 weeks I gain 15kgThat's to be expected after such a long period of doing essentially nothing.

Imagine if he/we lost the talent. Apparently it came horribly close to that.In a documentary on VTM (Belgian channel) he said that if the fracture had been 1 millimeter more to one side, he would have been paralyzed (according to what doctors told him). He was also lucky that they found a small artery that had burst with the scan.

His "shoulder wipe" victory move was something he picked up from a Michael Jackson choreography (Dangerous), of who he was a huge fan as a kid (even going to carnival stores to buy Michael Jackson clothes and doing local dance competitions with Michael Jackson moves etc). He didn't mean it as a dig towards other riders.
During the recon of Lombardia, he was joking (on video) about turning on the GPS of his smartphone, so that they could find him if he were to die on the Sormano
I think he knows that he's much better than anyone contesting the GC in the Giro. He beat most of these guys with ease earlier this year. Thomas could have been a competitor, but he's gone now.Currently he can't stand watching the Giro. Not being there hurts too much. He's doing training rides of 70km already, he seems to have the right "feeling" on the bike (not afraid in corners etc).
He's scheduled to resume competition end of January (i assume that would be San Juan, where he started the past two seasons).

That and also seeing both how well Almeida is riding plus how good a job of supporting him DQS are doing must make him feel that would have been him already a minute ahead of most contenders.I know it is a meme but I think given the form Remco was in he would have a Merckx like smash the field victory at the Giro.
I mean as much as I like Harm Vanhoucke, he's in 4th, and he may end up on the podium.
