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

[James M]

No one is saying otherwise, it’s just that people don’t see saying: “during stage 17 when i had a gap I didn’t went all out because I didn’t prepare or expect that to happen”, as coping.

hehe get it didnt read past all pages, my bad. While i agree about the coping stuff to some degree before not in this particular case, this year or during the Tour been all W assesements to me more or less. Theres alot of nitpicking to find stuff to hate on Evenepoel for weird reasons to me, alot of that, which make no sense to me. Guy is offensive on and off the bike, cocky, talented, good its nothing bad about that.

Started training again for 2025. Would be good if we can finally get an official Giro route announced, so we can more easily speculate about his calendar.

As it happened i was on youtube, when 'Remco perche ti amo came up. Would be nice if 2025 is the year this song can be played during the final podium of the giro.

Also i like the Mamba mentality comment. Although it don't fully translate to his own personality. He has the work ethic, but i don't think he will ever think of his competition as enemies to overcome.

No indeed, cycling isn’t that cut throat anymore. It’s not really a contact sport, or a sport influenced by taunting like Basketball.

Good point. I think I saw a taunt once when Lance stared at Ulrich.

So, he's started training again after having his wisdom teeth taken out. He's taking this weight loss program to extremes. Will it be enough to get him up those hills faster, or does he need to lose more teeth? lol

He can obviously also lose his big balls, but that would result in a more boring race from him

Less teeth to grind trying to follow Pogacar also saves energy.

I don't know if its been mentioned yet, but apparently Remco is in California training with wind tunnels and researching nutrition info.

Yeah, I've seen him on Strava running in the Morgan Hill (Specialized) area a bit to the south of where I'm at.

We get Kate Courtney training on all the trails we ride locally. Uphill her times are ridiculous, but it actually kinda pisses me off that she's faster than me on some of the downhills. The steeper it gets the more I have an edge on her...

At first glance I thought you were talking about Courtney Cox...I was wondering why would you be boasting about being faster than a 60 year old actress

At this point I’ll take it. 57 myself!

Remco is in the wind tunnel at Morgan Hill! (along with Mikel Landa) Wondering how much more aero he can get...I love watching videos of wind tunnel testing if anyone has cool ones to link

 

[ManicJack]

Does Specialized have a new TT bike coming out?

Remco & co having fun today at the beach.

Zo zagen we hem nog niet vaak afzien: Remco Evenepoel waagt zich aan ritje op het strand met Lampaert en co

Remco Evenepoel (24) vertoefde gisteren aan de Belgische kust. De dubbele olympische kampioen ging er op het strand fietsen met enkele ploegmaats, waaronder Yves Lampaert en Tim Merlier. En dat leek hem toch wel enige moeite te kosten.

Besides; dropping the competition to solo for a win is the ultimate silencer move. Words are pointless.
I'm rooting for Remco to step up.
That said; I think I'm done on the forum.
