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

[Ripper]

This seems so obvious, but both Pelgrim (trainer) as Lodewyck (DS) seem to get all the credit in the world. Neither is experienced and both their biggest successes have been thanks to working with Evenepoel. Everything reeks of "making it up as we go" with a lot of trial and error.

Exactly.

To be 100% clear on what I am saying, who knows if a better trainer and DS would make him a grand tour machine (or any difference in his current abilities). But man it seems like they are Podunk in their training and approach to stage racing

 

[Oldermanish]

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrremco needs a better GT trainer.

And likely a better DS in the car for GTs (but that could be said for many, so I am not sure if that is a game changer)

Probably more the latter based on how PN slipped away. That's assuming Remco didn't ignore advice and went with his instinct rather than a plan. It's hard to imagine that, though in a few instances.

New thread title. Thoughts?

I approve

 

[Netserk]

Too modest.

Too modest.

I’m open to suggestions.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Waiting to see who is the first fish that gets caught here.

 

[Salvarani]

Too modest.

Yeah, doesnt sound like Remco. Human history isnt enough. Should be since the big bang and from when the universe was made.

 

[Netserk]

I’m open to suggestions.

Duke Remco »The Preacher« Evenepoel, Padishah Emperor

I’m open to suggestions.

The almighty.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

I’m open to suggestions.

They all seem to be coming from the Church Of Roglic.

Can I ask for a slightly less provocative title, since I'm fed up with all the beef and nonsense, or does that make me boring? Usually I'd find this funny, but in the case of Remco it's been too much for a while now.

Give it a few months like this, and hopefully a return to the old title won't see the same kind of reactions again.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I think it should have "philanthropist and humanitarian" in the title somewhere, imho.
PS: perhaps "scholar" as well.

Remco Evenepoel - Scholar, Philanthropist, Humanitarian, GOAT.
Just keep it simple and modest.

Is Remco one of the 8.1 billion people who need a little Roglstomp in their life?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Remco Evenepoel is the Ultimate Human/Genius.

 

[Salvarani]

Is Remco one of the 8.1 billion people who need a little Roglstomp in their life?

He has already been subjected to it a few times.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Title is fine, it matches his provocative nature, bit of an ***hole but much more interesting character and more entertaining to watch than the usual 'yeah i'm err.. super happy... the legs are good.. lets see how it goes'.

 

[topcat]

Remco is the next Gandhi (in the Remco vs Roglic war).

 

[Gratemans]

I don't know, for some reason I find this less provocative than the previouw title.

 

[The fridge in the blue trees]

Why the downgrade in the title?

 

[RedheadDane]

"Remco is by far The Better Evenepoel"

 

[Salvarani]

"Remco is by far The Better Evenepoel"

Most fitting suggestion there ever was.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Remco is the second greatest ever Belgian after Kevin de Bruyne

Remco, the rider who will be reconsidering his plans for July 2025 during week two of July 2024.
