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

[Salvarani]

where is he going to get his race days?

This could be like an Ullrich giro, merely to get into shape, not to compete

Is Remco able to just roll around for 21 days without doing anything? He will get bored quickly.

 

[hayneplane]

Acccording to the interview he'll be doing the Brabantse pijl, amstel gold, waalse pijl and LBL.

It's not mentioned but i'm thinking he'll then do a conservative approach. Take a training break, come back for dauphine, then training break to further finetune, then TdF. With the possible addition of belgian national championships. But those are just my thoughts on the matter;

Hard to imagine he will be in podium shape for the Ardennes as he has a very high top level but tends to need optimal preparation to be competitive in major races.

Before anyone checks social media and panics like I did, I saw some accounts vagueposting with broken heart emojis on twitter about Evenepoel and thought oh **** he's been popped for doping or had another accident but apparently he's just split up with his wife.

The real question is how will this affect his looming Ardennes campaign. This could be a disaster after what happened to Sagan, does Lefevere still have Sinkewitz on speed-dial, they might need a new man to head the team?

Seems like he cheated on her so if that's true he will get destroyed by the press in Belgium and the Netherlands. Don't know how soudal will handle it.

Ouch. I wonder how he made it with only one arm available and limited aerobic training.

Where did you get this from? Haven’t seen anything about this yet

it is on twitter but a lot of the tweets got removed once it started heating up. Basically a football forum claims he has had an affair with an influencer (who he seems to have a link to at some stage and is the daughter of a footballer). I would probably say it's nothing but then his wife removed all photos from her social media. At the moment it is all rumours but people alledge a HLN article is about to drop with the information.

That 'article' dropped this night at 3AM, and is just a throwback to Paris '24.

 

[Salvarani]

Parked his bike in the wrong garage

 

[AmRacer]

Remco will come back stronger and harder.

 

[Ricco']

So he had a Specialized in his garage and went for a training ride with a Canyon?

LOL

good point

what is more likely is he shows up like Contador did in 2008 only to find himself near or in the lead after the long ITT and decides to win the thing

 

[houtdffan]

and NOT OK if he did cheat on Oumi

Well. The whole world tells him to exercise more on mountainous terrain, in order to compete for the Tour de France one day. Amy provides.

On a more serious note: although it's none of our business, I hope it's not a true story. For his image, the backlash, his mental state, his recovery and his career. And obviously the people involved and possibly hurt. But Oumi's current IG doesn't look promising.

 

[Netserk]

I already knew he was a cheater.

This guy's got the most conservative, old fashioned rehab I think I've seen. I'm not advocating he hops back on the bike too soon after an injury like he's just had, but his period of complete rest seems rather excessive given the nature of reported injuries.

bro was like 17(?) when he started dating her, not that many romantic relationships that start in childhood last through adulthood.

They also got married.

He’s guided by the same specialist Visma uses for these kind of injuries

Perhaps he and Wout can plot the same trajectory of resting for months.

Hilarious if it is a scheduled post

His wife literally commented on that post.

does not make it acceptable


Now, I dont know what to make of his wife's recent comment...

Hopefully, the rumors are not true

 

[Salvarani]

His wife literally commented on that post.

Okay, we are just making jokes. Maybe you could have included that instead of saying "Now what?".

If it aint true, thats good news.
