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.

Why would you consider a one week race s Grand Tour?

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.

Remco confirms the end of his season...but the CN paywall doesn't let us see...



Here's hoping he still plans to go to Lombardia.

Ah, quick Google tells me Lombardia and Chrono des Nations.

Cool. Me happy.

Huh ? End of Remco's season ? Where do you get that ?

I think he means to say that Remco has confirmed his remaining schedule.

He is also doing Lombardia AFTER the Vuelta

So…The Little Bastard seems to be gaining some traction in the peloton as the nickname of choice for Remco. Could this be the one thing both his fans and detractors can agree on fits him to a t. Finally some common ground?

 

[Panda Claws]

Only proper nickname is 'the Goat' because he climbs so well.

 

[Bertram Wooster]

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 ...

Cerny and maybe Masnada

If you compare him to other GC riders, he has a rather bulky frame, so maybe ‚the yak‘

Can yaks climb? Big Horn Sheep are bulky and climb well. goodbye WolfPack, hello SheepFlock.

Curious that Kasper Asgreen did yesterday the recon of Vuelta stage 3 with Remco

No, the Wolfpack is fine. An alpha wolf doesn't need to be a goat. He will eat them for breakfast.

Are we forgetting the Belgian Spilak or has Il Maestro given up on that one?

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

He dropped that after LBL 2022.

[Eddy Evenepoel]

This is going to be interesting!
In the trailer we see the question "will you be riding for QuickStep next year?", will be interesting to see how he answers that. If it's a direct yes or "we will see".

 

[Oldermanish]

tyrann mathieu was given that nickname in his LSU day. Now plays for New Orleans Saints. His play is a little more associated with the animal than any cyclist. That, aside from Le Blaireau, of course.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Evenepoel looks very thin, not sure he's keeping a tactical kilo or two on for the Vuelta, Logic (Rip) will be pleased.
