Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

[Didinho]

Another jersey goal completed. 5/6 already. What a monster athlete. Hope he can compete in La Vuelta untill the end.

He was happy for Mathieu that he could wear it 14 months. He got himself the same privilege today.

 

[Lequack]

The ugly chest thing worked, he won.

What do we want?

2 60 km TTs in the Tour!

When do we want it?
NOW!!!!!

 

[Big Doopie]

Olano. That's the entire list.

And he’s done it by age 23.

 

[red_flanders]

And he’s done it by age 23.

Also sounds like the youngest ever to with the TT Worlds. I assume that's Elite Men, don't know about the women's side.

 

[Ulle97]

A few TTs in the Tour Prudhomme..... come on !!!!

You've got a superstar waiting to be enticed!!!

Well done!

Another year without team jersey. World TT and Belgian RR Champion (last year it was Belgian TT and World RR Champion).

Let's keep these jerseys coming!

I mean there is one confirmed already, even though I don't think Remcos advantage over Pog/Vingo there will be very big. I'm really hoping for a 2nd completely flat one towards the end of week 1. That could spice up the Tour quite a bit.

 

[Oldermanish]

Really impressive performance made even more impressive by the fact that all other riders who competed at the RR were pretty diappointing. Simply an extraordinary athlete.

I'd say the carnage of effort of the RR top tier suggests he did what he was capable of. Ganna was close, as I thought he'd be but WvA and Pogi need another month to come back from their investment in that podium.

And Franco, like John F Kennedy may still be alive.

sounds like Ineos-Quikstep will be his team next year

 

[pastronef]

Ineos: how many millions do you need to let Remco go?
Patrick: Yes

 

[KenFiamingo]

The ugly chest thing worked, he won.

It's about bloody time bike brands develop a TT frame where they can tuck away the receiver. And the riders to use bluetooth connected earpieces.

Next year in july will do

Remco what a rider! Velo D'or sans doute.

Logic would have loved this.

For what?😂

 

[Andy schleck]

Great win. The best TTer in the world.

 

[Riek s]

Great win. But he didn't seem that on top imo. I don't think he had a super day and hasn't reached his Giro level. (Mostly from when we had video of him riding, his tuck wasn't consistent, he was drifting all over the place. Maybe the crosswinds made that very hard...).

But WC ITT, great rider to show of a jersey (not like Foss). Last year it was WC on the road and Belgian on the ITT, this year its reversed.

Also what is up with that strange helmetpartial-visor. Seems like, as pictured, that it has very bad aero effects when his head isn't tucked.

Looks like they trimmed the visor so he can get more aero ie face too hands

 

[Berniece]

So what’s next? Livigno and then Vuelta?

 

[Bertram Wooster]

What an amazing rider, and to know he’s only building his form towards the vuelta

No, he said he already focused a long ti me on this TT.

Great win. But he didn't seem that on top imo. I don't think he had a super day and hasn't reached his Giro level.

No. In the interview he said he had a superday and could go faster than what was planned.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Can we finally agree that it was the right decision to stay away from the Tour?
