As far as lists go, he is a fart away of breaking the top 10 of all-time still active riders (he's 11th, right behind Van Aert) according to PCS. That includes old geezers ahead of him that are completely done, but still have a big contract they want to cash out, like Sagan, Cavendish, Froome and Roglic. Rui Costa is 18th currently. Others that are behind him include Thomas, Van der Poel, Bernal, Vingegaard and other suckers.

After we have all witnessed this irrefutable, damming and alarming evidence against Evenepoel I say we petition to change the thread title to the correct name “Remco Evenepoel is the Eddy Merckx of Fake Victories”.
This is factually false. Eddy Merckx was the Eddy Merckx of Fake Victories. Dude had hundreds of wins in kermesse and amateur races, which people still count towards his total victories.
 
I copied and pasted this:
“The 50th edition of the Volta ao Algarve, scheduled to take place from February 14 to 18, 2024, will start in Portimão, with the champions being crowned at the top of Malhão in Loulé. An exciting addition will be the introduction of an entirely new Time Trial in Albufeira.

The only Portuguese stage race in the UCI ProSeries circuit will cover a total distance of 752.9 km, with a total elevation gain of 14,455 meters, spread over five stages. The finish of each stage will be marked by bonuses, and the winner of the intermediate sprint in each stage will be awarded a bonus of 6 seconds.”
