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

[Netserk]

What is your definition of "smoked everyone"?

He distanced the rest by 1 second.

Pogi then smoked Vingegaard four times as much on Grand Colombier. I guess that counts as buried?

10-30 plus seconds on Vinge, 30-60 plus on Roglic and Almeida, everyone else over a minute back. The way the GT TTs have gone we’re more likely then not to have a rider smoke everyone, it’s just a question of who.

Maybe Remco smoked something on stage 3 but definitely not his rivals!

I think this scale says that the Jumbo duo killed Ayuso yesterday.

 

[Riek s]

He probably meant stomped.

(also it was more than 1s, everyone just got regulated like that.

it seems whenever someone gets beat it's because of some previous races that still linger in their legs or something else: The Fish gets beat=he has the Tour under his legs. Roglic gets beat=he still has some cobwebs left from the Giro. Thomas gets beat=he has father time on his back. Ayuso gets beat= hey, I'm still too young. Mas gets beat= I'm the almighty (or maybe not). But anyway, the strongest team on the planet gained 30 seconds on the weakest team ever on a GT. Not the end of the world.

question: which stage is harder? Tourmalet or Angliru ?

Tourmalet by far

Remco fanboys always making me laugh 😂

Remco gets beat= the list of excuses is endless.

What the scale says to what Vingegaard did to pogacar in the TT of the tour?

 

[Andre]

oh of course...just add more names instead of discussing what was written...then we can add Vlasov too and Bernal etc. Disingenuous way of avoiding the subject

 

[Berniece]

Remco gets beat= the list of excuses is endless.

Remco gets beat = the number of members suddenly popping up in this thread is endless

 

[Riek s]

Remco gets beat= the list of excuses is endless.

nope, they are entirely in line with the others. (see stage 3 regarding Roglic).
Just that in the remco thread these things get repeated a lot more due to the additional trolls joining the conversation and loudly declaring as well know established facts how bad & stupid remco and his supporters are for believing in him.

(again see roglic on stage3 crash?/badly positionned. nobody declaring he sucks, can't climb, can't sprint, will never win a GT)

 

[Extinction]

Tourmalet by far

True, but the Angrilu is the hardest climb. Either stage, therefore, can inflict big time losses.

 

[ManicJack]

What does a line through a posters name mean. ie Riek s?

 

[Berniece]

What does a line through a posters name mean. ie Riek s?

That he is banned. But we don't know why.

 

[Netserk]

Seems like he has deactivated his account.

 

[ManicJack]

That he is banned. But we don't know why.

I thought there was a yellow "banned" signifier?

 

[Netserk]

That he is banned. But we don't know why.

No, then it would say "Banned".

 

[QueenStagiaire]

No, then it would say "Banned".

After a full 7 days of racing involving >15000 vertical meters and around 1100km in around 26.5 hrs, these are the GC standings of pre-race favourites:

Rnk	Rider	Team	Time
9​	EVENEPOEL Remco	Soudal - Quick Step	02:47
10​	VINGEGAARD Jonas	Jumbo-Visma	02:50
11​	MAS Enric	Movistar Team	,,
12​	ROGLIČ Primož	Jumbo-Visma	02:58
14​	AYUSO Juan	UAE Team Emirates	03:06
16​	ALMEIDA João	UAE Team Emirates	03:17
18​	VLASOV Aleksandr	BORA - hansgrohe	03:36

Short resume:
Despite turning the lights out in Barcelona, spreading a virus in the peloton, positioning a women after the finish in Arinsal, planning an olive oil attack or desperate adversaries sprinting for a meagre 2 bonus seconds today, nobody has been able to beat our defending title holder with the weakest team, the one and only Remco Evenepoel!

We don't know what the competition has planned for the weekend (probably trying for marginal gains again like on Javalambre, taking half a minute), but we already know Remco will play the long game and doesn't care for those mumbo jumbo unipuerto sprinters exhausting their energy too soon!

And how does look without the joke of a TTT?

 

[Tim Cahill]

F for Riek s, who has left without further elaboration.

Quite a few Evenepoel fans going in the past month, who is now left to defend him when he loses minor time on a mountain stage?

I already tackled this issue in my last post in this topic so Remco fans are comforted:
Remco isn't bothering about half a minute here and there. He will go for 2 minutes in the TT
