Not much is going on with Remco atm save for training. Even then it's not very exciting. Things will pick up in January
Not everybody seems to agree with that…
I (might have) heard from a friend of a friend of a friend of Oumi that in contradiction to e.g. in September, currently Remco’s 3 to 5 minutes efforts are out of this world!

You mean his 3-5 min efforts with Oumi?

You have a dirty mind…

If Hollywood has thought us one thing, it is that to reach peak performance one has to continuously was his car in the off season…
“wax on, wax off”

The friend of the friend of the friend of Omi was clearly referring to Remco washing his car, obviously…

46 race days seems too little.

I don't expect him to start in San Juan, but in Algarve or Andalusia and I expect him to ride Strade Bianche instead of KBK and Itzulia instead of RVV, riding the latter in a Giro year together with MSR and LBL seems very far fectched. After the World Championships, I expect him to ride Benelux Tour instead of travelling all the way to Canada and then he will need to ride a few one day races in Italy to prepare for Il Lombardia (probably Giro dell'Emilia and Tre Valli Varesine).

Likely another short stage race in February and definitely at least another 4/5 post worlds one day races.

Remco already said a very light early season, then becoming very intense toward the middle.

So why is he going to race in January?

He had ~61 racing days this past season. Cannot see him only having 46 this year

I don't see him riding San Juan, Kuurne, MSR, and RvV. I also think he'll do more 5-7 day stage races here and there

Regarding MSR he already said that it is an option for next year but it is still undecided. He'd actually like to race it and he regrets not having ridden it this year (it became a last minute option because many riders of the team were ill at that moment).

Oh I didn't know that, well in that case he might indeed ride it. I can also see him winning it, in the right circumstances.
