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

[red_flanders]

So it's official, Mas says Roglic is in pole position to win this Vuelta, that he's in better shape than Remco and Jonas.

Sounds about right given all the riders' relative prep. I think everyone is assuming the same, and Bruyneel had the same observations. Roglič has had the cleanest prep.

And how Mas knows that? He leaked heijboer's data?

New video from Remco.

Getting ready for stage 3.

Is Remco a hardstyle afficionado?

Yes

 

[Wvv]

Every right to be angry of course. Heat of the moment display, but I second his opinion. Decent performance nonetheless by the Wolfpack.

 

[Riek s]

good he stayed upright in this shitshow. Bad we still have these kind of events that were predictable to have issues so late, we should expect more from a GT organization.

Pitty we now have the forum clowns yelling about riders complaining they needed to ride in the dark without any lights.

When forum members are critisizing the ones riding in the dark, while pointing out that the ones riding in daylight didn't complain, they don't seem to have a clue that they are comparing apples to oranges.

I also really dislike Remco’s taste in music. I’m happy I’m not a domestique for him. My ears would bleed having to listen to hardcore on the bus.

Hardcore as in electronic/trance, or proper Black Flag-hardcore?

Great pic. Can visually see he has a better aero position than his two teammates.

Black flag

Spain loves the night, eats late, it's cultural, but you are not allowed to be so unprofessional when organizing a bike race. ALL cyclists need to race in the daylight.

Yeah I’m with Remco here, but also at some point he’s going to realize that this was the best possible result for him, barring crashes. Big unexpected advantage. But he is also right to argue for safer and more fair conditions.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Where is Logic though? I saw him liking one of my posts, so he must be back!

Also saw he was online 10 mins or so ago. He switched to a silent protest.

Advantage or disadvantage isn't the issue here, but riding in the darkness versus riding in the light. I can't believe how poorly organized this was and the results are secondary, but it's crazy that the UCI, which regulates so many inane details, didn't step in on this glaring disgrace. At any rate, the Vuelta organizers seem to have gotten the Barcelona movida to their heads.

He's getting closer to his return...can probably read us but not respond with actual words

 

[Andre]

btw...I watched the youtube video of Remco on the recon ride in Andorra. To me he seems very mature and likeable in character. He also is very confident, has a nice sense of humour and is becoming very knowledgeable in the sport.

 

[houtdffan]

Prudhomme needs to be fired over this one. Guillen to

Just don't promote Gouvenou

He's been unbanned for a while now. Been dropping a few "reacts".

Logic is doing a silent protest because UCI does not promote classica san sebastian to a monument.

In the F1 you have night races but the visibility is better than during the day due to the optimal lighting. Imagine switching the lights off when the streets are already dark due to the rain. It would be a disaster. Verstappen would be furious even if he could manage to win the race and avoid crashes. As a team leader it's responsible from Remco to say out loud what everyone thinks. I hope he keeps doing it. It has impact. This should definitely not happen again.

The clip is probably posted somewhere else but this has my respect. I am starting to really like this guy!

He’s the most interesting rider in the peloton. Unlike the majority of riders who utter the usual mundane stuff in interviews he’s not afraid to actually say what he thinks which I like. He has character and personality, might rub some people up the wrong way but at least he’s being himself.
