Who else won a WC RR and a WC TT to begin with?
Olano.

So is it correct to say that Remco won't race now before the Vuelta?
Just some training and maybe reconnaissance of key climbs?
It is funny we often portray professional agents as predators and they steal money and all that.Lesson number one for young riders..don't let your numb skull family be your manager..
Who also won a GT.Olano.
Not great for the TTT.Lefevre wrote in Het Nieuwsblad that the team could be :
Jan Hirt
Mattia Cattaneo
Louis Vervaeke
Pieter Serry
James Knox
Andrea Bagioli
but it can be change ...

So Remco is only 2 LBL better than Olano.
Not thát great
I just assumed they were being facetious…Comparing an entire career with a 23 year old.
The word “disingenuous” comes to mind.
You are not going to lose much time in in a 14 km TTT.Not great for the TTT.
Loosing 20s to Roglic/ vingegaard wouldn't be good and nothing he can do about.You are not going to lose much time in in a 14 km TTT.
It was 14s in 23km last year. I doubt a lot that it's gonna be 20s this year.Loosing 20s to Roglic/ vingegaard wouldn't be good and nothing he can do about.
The WC ITT winner will cover thatNot great for the TTT.
I consider last year SQS stronger with Cavagna and Van wilder over Cattaneo.It was 14s in 23km last year. I doubt a lot that it's gonna be 20s this year.
Cerny & cattaneo = cavagna & van wilderI consider lat year SQS stronger with Cavagna and Van wilder over Cattaneo.
While i consider JV a lot stronger this year with Vingegaard, Baarle, Tratnik over Rohan Dennis.
yes, typically explosive guys tend to do well in a TTT. Guy like Alla, Gilbert, Gerrans, Impey, Ogrady, ...How good the individuals are says just about nothing about how good it operates in a TTT. Froome, Thomas, Kwiatkowski, Castroviejo, Bernal, Rowe, Poels and Moscon put a mere 3 seconds into Gilbert, Alaphilippe, Gaviria, Richeze, Declercq, Terpstra, Jungels and Lampaert over 35 kilometers. That same Sky team lost a TTT to Goss, Gerrans, Impey, Tuft, Albasini, Clarke, Lancaster, O'Grady and C. Meyer. Movistar would regularly win TTTs in La Vuelta.
Cerny isn't listed in the post above though. I do see him listed on PCS start list, so yeah he could be good addition for the team in general.Cerny & cattaneo = cavagna & van wilder
It's a circuit with a fair amount of turns on a short distance. The team that wishes to push the turns the hardest, has a good chance of winning. I see about three sections where real time trial specialists can unleash their power. Otherwise, there isn't much room to really gain much time. It's a bit like Glasgow in that sense. Every time you're up to speed you'd have to brake again because there's a turn coming up.yes, typically explosive guys tend to do well in a TTT. Guy like Alla, Gilbert, Gerrans, Impey, Ogrady, ...
That and of course tactics/how they ride together/form of the people.
But I don't see any explosive guys in the SQS group either. I think they need at least 2 people to hang on for dear life. All in all i think Roglic/vingegaard will have taken time on stage 1 of the Vuelta. I hope all of you are right and it won't be 20seconds.

First rider to win a Grand Tour, a Monument, 🌈 RR & 🌈 ITT 🤩🤩
Only if you consider Tour de France Femmes or Giro Donne not to be a Grand Tour. Otherwise Anna van der Breggen and Annemiek van Vleuten went before Remco. And Annemiek even was able to win San Sebastian.First rider to win a Grand Tour, a Monument, 🌈 RR & 🌈 ITT 🤩🤩
Why would you consider a one week race s Grand Tour?Only if you consider Tour de France Femmes or Giro Donne not to be a Grand Tour. Otherwise Anna van der Breggen and Annemiek van Vleuten went before Remco. And Annemiek even was able to win San Sebastian.
I would ask why would you compare women with men? Women's cycling is not as popular for girls as men's cycling is for boys. There isn't the same crop of people that get into the sport.Why would you consider a one week race s Grand Tour?
