Remco has put his ride on
Strava, I'm using the Strava Sauce extension to pull out the NP data
Between 48kms in and 239kms in (192kms) he averaged
283w and had a NP of 343 for that period, at a listed weight of 62kgs thats 4.56w/kg, and 5.53 respectively for 4 hours and 13 minutes. during the first lap of the Flandrien Circuit he had a NP of
386w (6.17w/kg) for 43 minutes, and inside that there is even a half hour period with a NP of 437w (though I suspect that the attacks in there are pushing the limitations of the NP model which they can do, but still its nuts).
If you want to see how much Remco did in the group take a look at this section from the
2nd Flandrein circuit and on the way back to Leuven 310w (5w/kg) Average Power, 349w (5.62w/kg) NP for 51 minutes after 4.5 hours of racing. You can tell when Remco is the one pulling because his power is flat (like
this section in particular), and during that 51 minute section his watts are basically metronomic save a few short periods meaning that's a full gas 50 minute pull up until 25kms to go on the front. To put that in perspective during Remco's pull Valgren averaged
296w (4.1w/kg) naturally much less becasue he had the luxury of sitting on. The real kicker though is Valgren's final lap and a bit chasing Alaphilippe was
28 minutes at 358w (5w/kg) at a normalised power of 429w (5.9w/kg), which is the same average w/kg as Remco, and
only >.3w/kg more than Remco's Normalized w/kg that he held for 20 minutes longer.
In short Remco rode his ass off all day, what a champ.
