Belgium wasn't the only squad on the day and Remco not the only other combatant. Give the kid a break so he can get better and quit blaming the entire team except him. By the way; I've yet to see anyone credit Julian with being the Stud of The Worlds. I'm not a particular fan of him or his tactics but he did what everyone though Remco could do. Sorry he's French, for you.It is not mutually exclusive to both give a nod to Alaphilippe for his incredible strength that day, nor shake your head at the crap tactics of the Belgium squad, which were patently and objectively terrible along with a coach who really shouldn't be coaching the road team for major championships.
Looks like a good time was had by all. How cool would it be to ride with athe QS guys, even for a few Kms?Remco Evenepoel on gravel: 'This year to enjoy; maybe next year we race'

I think you're reacting to some of the other posts on this thread. I know I, and I know quite a number of other posters, have commented on Alaphilippe's strength and that he is a deserving winner and very much may have won no matter what tactics were used (by any team). That said, this is the Remco thread, and regardless what the eventual outcome would have been, there were some pretty crap tactics by his team.Belgium wasn't the only squad on the day and Remco not the only other combatant.

PS: ask France's coach about the tactics and, if they were honest they'd admit: we don't know what Julian will do. Julian doesn't know what he'll do.
The very reason Alaphilippes win isn't commented on more is that it was very impressive and that there was nothing to detract from that.I think you're reacting to some of the other posts on this thread.

If you want to see more comments praising Alaphilippe, those would be on his thread as well as the thread on the world championships.
Indeed! He's a great racer, and fun to watchThe very reason Alaphilippes win isn't commented on more is that it was very impressive and that there was nothing to detract from that.

Masnada is very articulate. I love itLa gerarchia prima di tutto: intervista a Fausto Masnada - Alvento - Italian cycling magazine
Il senso di rispetto di Fausto Masnada per i ruoli appare evidente, lapalissiano, quasi eclatante: «Siamo pagati per rispettare i […]alvento.cc
Masnada: «Differences between Almeida and Evenepoel? Meanwhile, the similarities: they have an incredible talent and are so young that they still have to learn to race as captains. Almeida is quiet, almost peaceful. He conveys serenity in the race. Evenepoel has a devastating force in every sense: nervous, instinctive, sometimes you can't make him think. Stubborn, he emanates competitive malice and when you run for him you feel even more motivated and concentrated because he transmits professionalism and motivates you with his own determination ».
Got it but actually reacting as much to the Belgian riders' interaction. They are picking at each other and may very well have congratulated Julian as well. Seems like the in-fighting is more prevalent than I'd expect in the face of Alaphilippe's win.I think you're reacting to some of the other posts on this thread.

Didn't the winner beat Remco by an hour? This guy must be the new Eddy for sure!

I've never known riders to wait for the Vuelta route to decide what they're gonna do. It's just gonna be about the Giro route I reckon, Vuelta routes don't vary that much."Before I can make a deal with an organisation, I first want to know the route," he said. "
True, but they had already decided on the Vuelta a few weeks(?) ago, so why the backtracking? Or maybe they hadn't and it was only used as a bargaining chip.I've never known riders to wait for the Vuelta route to decide what they're gonna do.

Looks like RCS desperately want to have Evenepoel at the start. Not surprisingly, as he's probably #2 on their wish list (behind only Pogacar) of foreign riders.
Sending him cold to LBL probably wouldn't be the wisest thing. And he's likely the one guy on QS who can make it even easier for the team and Alaphilippe to have to do nothing before the Mur de Huy.I don't really get why you would send Evenepoel to the Vuelta. (Also FW seems super not-suited to him, unless he manages to do the incredible thing, that is escape before the finish.) The timing would be better, but I don't see him very suited to the terrain.

RCS desperaty wants evenepoel at the start?! Now, i understand why they reduce the ITTs of the giro 2022 lately, that's to seduce remco to come to the giro, it makes senseTrue, but they had already decided on the Vuelta a few weeks(?) ago, so why the backtracking?

I don't think he'll race in Dauphiné or Tour de Swiss. Plus I believe if he races Le Tour in 2023 it will be for the overall and not for stage hunting. Also he would probably choose L-B-L over La Fleche. Can he race both?
