I think he could put Pog into big trouble if Pog is the slightest bit off on a day like tomorrow. It is similar to a San Sabastien profile. He could also do a lot of damage on a real Ardennes stage

Evenepoel had no problem with Merlier coming, yes he was promised to race the Vuelta. But because there are so few chances for Merlier, he supposedly agreed to a program with less suffering and more opportunities for him, like in Luxembourg and some 1 day races.

Still in the long run sucks for Merlier and his career but next year should en better with Jakobsen gone.

It was a shame that Remco went home early from the Giro - we could have seen better his shape in week 3.
At the moment his climbing does not seem to be up to Pogacar's and Vingegaard's which means he'll be a possible third at the Tour next year.
If Ayuso does the Vuelta this year and is in good shape, then we should be in for a good race.

Is 2m so bad? Nowhere near pogi's 5m, but I believe riders like Vingegaard and Roglic are on similar wages?
2M is certainly not bad. I would be very happy with that salary.
But, it's human that when another "employer" is offering 3x this wage, that you are tempted. Certainly, if it's to execute exactly the same job as before. On top of that Ineos has most probably a better team to achieve what Remco wants to achieve.

Most definitely a better team

Knipperlicht Kerckhoffs saying that there is a rumour circling in Radio Peloton around the Tour de France, one that would see Ratcliffe not just buying Remco, but straight up buying QuickStep as a whole. This is to be taken with a grain of salt, like Kerckhoffs admits as well, but in the midst of this whole saga an interesting thing to follow.

There's a capitalistic purity to this rumor, i.e. like a real life version of Dodgeball (the Ben Stiller movie).
Aka if you want an asset from a rival, just buyout his company. I'd laugh if this happened, if only for the ensuing drama.

I can't imagine this would be allowed. Sports leagues in the US have a rule against this (one owner, two teams) because they could operate both teams for the benefit of one. For example, just how many people would be in Remco's train? Would he have 15? What if several people were injured on Ineos, would the QuickStep riders abandon their goals and now work full time for the Ineos rider? Or domestics could alternate days of work. Ie today 4 riders from Ineos pull the Remco train while the QS riders hang out in the grupetto, next day the exact opposite. Everybody is fresh for their day in the front.INEOS wil Remco Evenepoel: is een overname ploeg Lefevere een optie?

I suppose if the UCI made Ratcliffe relegate one of his teams immediately, it could work, but then I would think the sponsor (Quick Step) would either sue or ask for their money back.

If one of the teams got relegated then it still raises the concern when they ride the same races. It would completely gut the procont’s season.

Clearly INEOS, Ratcliffe, is reading this forum. Well done to Oldermanish

But what if they get together as 1 team so they don’t own 2 teams? Buying out the team/riders and get them within Ineos(-Quickstep).

Theoretically would it be possible to merge the teams into one organisation - not that impractical this year from a roster standpoint with lots of rumoured big departures from Ineos and Soudal-Quickstep only having about 10 riders under contract for next year confirmed.
They could set up a continental level development team like several current world tour teams have already.

One could say that current Quick Step's origins go back to that, as the structure was formed in 2003 by a mixture of staff of both Domo - Farm Frites and Mapei - Quick Step.

Absolutely loving this rumours, cycling needs the drama.
From a sporting perspective I feel while Remco deserves a team that can offer proper support in the mountains, remco with Ineos scares me a bit. Not missing the days of the sky train..
