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

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Wrong thread

Tarling lost silver, not gold. That bikechange (not a crash) was not 28s.

I'm deducting a bit extra because of losing the rhythm and because I don't know for sure how much time passed between the puncture and the bike change, but yeah, 2nd was the most likely outcome.

1x Vuelta

Just off the top of my head at 24. Thats like 6 huge wins already.

Maybe it's just me but I don't count TT as big wins.

I might be wrong but I think this win makes Remco the first rider to win all of the following:
-WCTT
-Olympic TT
-Continental TT championship
-a Giro TT
-a Tour TT
-a Vuelta TT
Impressively this is still true even if we exclude the european championship which is a relatively new race of questionable importance. And all that at just 24 years of age. He really looks like the definitive TT rider of his generation.

Edit: dammit I was beaten

Well, I agree. Lets call it 5 then, 0,5 of each ITT.

Didn't think he could do it as I thought he was running on fumes at the end of the tour, that's what being 24 is about I guess.

Completely forgot that he fluked a win in 19. Luck merchant.

Olympic gold is a big win.

Only Hour record is missing.

No chance to win today

Cornering is going to be far too important with the rains

Yes.... good prediction

I remember getting flamed by the forum, for stating that Ganna was lucky in 2020 and 2021 that Evenepoel crashed in 2020, because that -unlike popular opinion at the time- Ganna was not a better TT'er. Almost as hilarious as me getting flamed for stating in 2022 that Evenepoel was a more talented TT'er than Küng by a great margin, and that him beating Küng by a few seconds meant it was actually a bad TT for Evenepoel. Good times.

Great win for Remco. Very happy for him..

 

[Sciatic]

I know the Olympic TT doesn’t rate quite as high as the Olympic RR. Regardless Remco’s collection of titles is impressive and rare:
Gold + GT win + WC + monument.

Classica San Remco

Remco's TT is pure art. Awesome win champ!

 

[Venge 82]

Will I be suspended from the forum if admit I had tears in my eyes 🤔

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Basically all the cards that were going to determine the winner were stacked against him, yet he did. I truly believe an impeccable double gold is in the works.

 

[Salvarani]

Said this was the biggest goal and he did it!

Might need the aid of teenage girls again.

 

[Anderis]

I think he is the first rider to win all of the above:
- a GT
- a monument
- WC gold medal
- Olympic gold medal

It’s not about cornering at very low speed in the rain. About cornering at high speed in downhills. Totally different.
