Indeed a nice picture from this point of view. The branding on his helmet clashes a bit though. Als below his seat, right above his bottle, are those rainbow stripes? That also doesn't really workMaybe a bit too flashy, tacky for some of us, I'd be a bit more subtle too, but ...
... I still kinda dig it. And very recognizable.
When you win the double in a similar fashion as Evenepoel did, it always matters
To be clear, I was in the camp that said it matters, even if he hadn’t won in such dominant fashion. So agreed!
After a day of work for Paul Magnier, Remco decided to train a few hours extra on his TT bike today. He is getting in full focus mode for the WC.
Podium in both races probably, not sure about which place. He’s also not riding anymore until the ITT, so that will give us an indication of his form.
Interview with Klaas Lodewyck for HLN. When talking about the WC, not an ideal preparation due to him getting sick, still has to lose some weight, but will weigh more than at the TDF. Evenepoel will go to altitude for less than 2 weeks after Tour of Britain.

“Niet de bedoeling dat Evenepoel weer naar Tourgewicht gaat”: ploegleider Klaas Lodewyck over de laatste “cruciale” weken richting WK
“De twee weken die nu volgen worden cruciaal.” Ploegleider Klaas Lodewyck weet dat de weg naar een nieuwe wereldtitel er een is met uitdagingen voor Remco Evenepoel. “Zijn Tourgewicht zal hij wellicht niet meer halen.” Toch leeft de dubbele olympische kampioen in Engeland zonder druk toe naar...

When you have two gold medals weighing you down the kilograms add up quickly.
Different body type compared to other riders. Take him way more effort to stay really lean compared to a Vingegaard who is naturally skinny
shout out to oumi (!) for giving us thicc guys everywhere some hope!
Remco probably goes below his natural weight for his big GC goal every year. Which works for a couple of weeks. But isn't sustainable for the whole year.
Don't mean he won't be competitive during the rest of the year. Just that his ultimate peak is only sustainable for a couple of weeks each year.

You think there is one pro cyclist that doesn't go below his natural weight for any sort of goal that involves climbing? Is there even any cyclist, that has lost weight after retirement, including sprinters even?
He potentially could have had another GT under his belt if he had gone to the vuelta, but decided how much more weight he needs to lose to go for second in the Tour.
How does this analysis seem after the last two stages of the Vuelta? Remco could step in at Bora and learn a few things, too.
Learn what? Not saying there is nothing to learn at Bora, but what did you see last two stages that you haven’t seen SOQ do with Remco
Remco seems both on track and not quiet sure if he'll make the required level to truly compete with the best for WC on time. At least that is what i got from his most recent interview. Hopefully he'll get where he needs to be
