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

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Yes of course you're right, I was thinking only of one days.

In one day races? How many times has Tadej successfully chased Evenepoel? Zero I think.

 

[Sciatic]

It feels like it will be really chaotic. There are quite a few guys who could be dangerous and might want to go along to catch out Pogacar/ Remco. Ayuso and del Toro could both be hard to bring back.

I think Pogacar, and thus likely Remco as well, would follow if either of those guys decided to go early. I don't offhand remember how (if) del Toro has performed in monument-length races before, but his form is excellent right now.

If by chasing you mean to exclude those times when he chased, dropped and beat everyone then zero is the number. Remco was among them in those instances when you meant to exclude Tadej had to option to drop everyone....

Well no, but Pogacar has dropped and beaten him in plenty of one day races. If Remco were to get a gap on this course, I would be very interested to see what would happen though.

Hard to chase from in front.

Interview with Koen Pelgrim, performance coach of Evenepoel and SOQ. Nothing new was really said besides that at the bottom of the first climb Evenepoel had a lead of 15s, and at the top 45s. He seems to hope that the combination of Remco having done altitude training, and Pogacar not will be enough for an exciting race.

Strava says 19 seconds, not 30, and 31s on the section before the climb. But I think it ifts if they mean an earlier point which isn't the start of the real climb but the lowest point before the climb.

We all know next sunday will be a different tale. That's okay. WC already a succes.

Indeed, because on the map that lowest point is also in a corner right before going towards the climb.

Oh, was that what he was doing in Wollongong?

Using 1 race out of many to prove a point, makes you sound stupid.

Well you could also have used "hard to chase when you can't keep up with the peloton" like twice in San Sebastian.

Absurd position. Will go down as the greatest time trialist when hes done.

So absurd they had to sculpt the visor to make room for his hands. Amazing.

anyone seen the video on sporza?
Using game changer from flavour.

What video? Are you talking about this?

yes, seems remco is enjoying his stay so far.

Martin won WCC ITT 4 times but did not win the Olympics.
Cancellara also won WCC ITT 4 times and won the Olympics once twice.
Wiggins won WCC and Olympics ITT once each.
Rogers won WCC 3 times but no Olympics.

So he only needs one more to match Cancellara (edit: and another Olympic title). Some people will keep insisting Indurain or Anquetil are still better regardless of course, since they could never become WCC ITT champs etc.

I wonder how PCS created their ranking for this.

Who is the best time trial rider of alltime?

has 63 victories in time trials and a grand total of 1150 points. Runner-up is with 1017 points in time trials and has 957 points obtained in his career.

two olympics, I believe.

remco still has a ways to go.

of course world hour record would add cachet.

Right, twice.

yup. super weird.

why is armstrong even on there for starters?

and Maertens should be much higher, even though he only had 2-3 good years.

 

[AlpRaid]

part of the factco/bodybuilding comments are due to the way he wears this jersey with the sleeves almost rolled up, or squeezing him at the top, accentuating the bicep. If you look at the longer sleeved TT suit, not so noticeable.

They explain it—they use the cumulative total TT ranking of a rider in each year they competed. So it makes sense that someone who only performed well (no matter how well) for only 2-3 years won’t Score as high as someone who was a good TT-er for 10 years.

All time TT ranking​

What is the best time trial rider of all time? If we were to add all TT points per rider it would favor the riders active in periods with a lot of time trials. Therefore we applied a point scale to the position of a rider in the TT year ranking. This way riders active in different periods have an equal chance. Riders that rank high over a longer period are in favor with this method, but having the discipline to perform each year is a valuable quality in time trial.

Basically worthless. Ganna is well ahead of Evenepoel in this ranking. Even Wiggins.
EDIT: lol, and Küng, wtf
