Yikes, the guy had a hard time even getting back on his bike after that crash and looked banged up. He also told Bagioli to ride for himself early on the Passo di Ganda when he realized that he didn't have the legs.
Not when he was already dropped hard on the climb. He did very well to get a top 10 spot after getting dropped on the climb, but he was never gonna bring back 40s to the main chasing group.
Jesus. Now is the best time to move to another team with better support (Ineos) and better pay (Ineos) and he decides to stays put🤦🏼♂️ He won’t win the big GT’s with this team.
Would have to agree and I think he is void of humility.. But today he got up off the ground, final monument of the year, bleeding and he chased really hard and I think he never thinks he can't win..my friend owns a little Chihuahua dog that thinks he is a lion..he also never gives up..
You are correct and his father/manager probably thinks the same but Remco is both a leader and a teamplayer so he likely feels a lot of responsability. I can imagine that the possible evaporarion of his team had an impact on him.
So Remco suddenly is the big „loser“ after these merger rumour weeks:
I see what you mean Skijumper, but why wouldn't he get additional helpers? Landa is coming over, Van Wilder is super strong, Hirt is not bad, plus there are some more talented riders in Quickstep as well. I do agree that Ineos may have been a better fit.
Fast forward 10 years:
The net effect is more likely aggressive and chaotic attacking. You need a team that has the depth to get Remco back in the final action if he covers the wrong move or gets stuck behind a complacent pack. It's not going to be just one dimensional racing now.
