Behind the scenes from Remco's altitude camp. Relaxed Remco is such a cool guy, takes pics with fans, makes jokes, eats nougat.

I agree. People didn't like the Schleck brothers for their complaining, but they actually didn't have anything valid to complain about.
Having to ride a TTT in the dark with big puddles of water and almost invisible bends needs to be called out.
I also liked the headline from a few weeks ago: "Patrick Lefevere and my father should keep quiet." He's not just any 23-year-old.
Remco comes off as a big sook most of the time, no idea how anyone can be a fan of him.
His fanbase is growing so maybe you miss something. Dig a bit deeper.
Started with a base due to his nationality. Little bit of a natural growth due to worldwide results but he isn’t what you claim
I claim nothing. I suggest to dig deeper. You come up with two valid reasons but there might be more. You will have to spend some time and really listen to him instead of skimming through some quotes and headlines about him.

I am a fan because he is an attacking rider that can contend almost all the races he enters and is not afraid of speaking up even though he spoke too much a few times in the past but that's to be expected for a guy in his early 20s... He has 722 thousand followers on instagram and I doubt they are almost all Belgian...

He's completely right except for the preventive whining about haters that will criticize him. Why the need to be a victim even before you're criticized?

Once a football player.
What's the difference? Wasn't he right? People are whining about remco complaining they needed to ride in the darkness without streetlights. Most common reply on that is the idiotic footballer statement and that others didn't complain. This isn't the first time, he has an active fan club of haters trying to misunderstand every word.
And at this point Roglic, vingegaard, tratnik, valter all said they couldn't see anything and they had better timeslot. ( But Roglic hates interviews, vingegaard has no presence, valter was shocked after TTT)
And now we have this overreaction from the organizers which doesn't help the situation, because the same people blame Remco for it

Because nowadays anyone with an audience becomes an object of ridicule on social media by those who like to shoot at an easy target.

You don't think the riders, including Evenepoel, are to blame for the overreaction today?

Yesterday was fine to criticize. But one can also note that half the peloton had the same reason to complain yesterday and Evenepoel was by far the loudest and most riled up.
Then today we get the neutralization and he's still complaining.
If today is Evenepoel standing up then I really hope he just learns to sit back down.

You posted an interview of Vingegaard earlier today where he was complaining about the exact same thing. You didn't realise he did at first, but shortly after when you read the interview thoroughly you deleted that post. One may wonder why that is. Could it be that you only like trolling certain riders/teams?

Durr. It's been pointed out about 50 times on here already that it was darkest when Soul-Quickstep rode.
At least he didn't flap his arms like some big awkward bird.
Sure, but that was because they screwed up so big yesterday (which might have a part outside the organization with the street lights not working). So i don't think its fair to blame the riders here, its the organization that makes the descission.
If the riders (GC) choose not to ride for safety between each other so be it, they can do that between each other.
The organisation has the option to pick on how to bring safety concerns, there are multiple options to do that. (they, imo pick the easy one). They could have went with reactive to see how the road/weather would be the moment they are close to it, they could have found a way to shorten a descend (like proposed in on of topics) or bypass the descend or put additional protection in corners or say we disagree.

So you're saying it's fine to criticize but still try to have a go at Remco.
A bit biased to say the least.
I'm sure when Armstrong did it you'd applaud his leadership and decision making skills.
It sounds louder because more people want to follow Remco's interviews.

Because he knows that some will criticize every word he says. He makes his point stronger by stating that he doesn't care. He wants all the focus on the message and not the messenger.
They are not taking the decisions. In the end it's the organization that needs to take a balanced decision based on all the info available. It's only human that the riders, who have literally "skin in the game", will speak up and possibly overreact if there is clear mistrust.
