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

[Krzysztof_O]

This is why i couldn't ever cheer for somebody like Pogacar. He already has the most annoying fans, no need to add one more.

Gold!

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

So did he have issues with his saddle today?

He did not and therefore he was on the top of the big climb together with Ayoso and only dropped by Pogacar and not by 25 guys like in the WC. Huge difference.

Another guy put on my ignore list. I'm on 4 now.

Remco maximized his results. It would be 4x easy gold for Remco if he wouldn’t have to race against Pogacar. He really made most of his late season sofar. He should be happy.

 

[Jan the Man]

Yes a good effort today- kept digging and showed courage going for it. Lombardia to go. Pog will be tough to match but it’s bike racing so he has to put himself in a position to capitalise if Pogi not himself.

All die-hard fans are roughly equally annoying in any sport. They all behave in the exact same fashion, just the vocabulary changes over time.

 

[AmRacer]

It’s like you don’t understand him at all. He doesn’t mind it being beaten fair and square, which was the case today.

And all other times as well.

I never put anyone on my ignore list.

Very true, ur a smart cookie AmRacer. Imagine thinking 1970 vs now is a real debate.The emotional mental gymnastics that gotte be involved for that..

Eddy not willing to unretire and face Teddy is the best proof of that.

Time to rename the thread to 'Remco is the next Poulidor'

 

[bah]

And all other times as well.

I will honestly never understand how this forum doesnt have rules against people constantly being negative in a particular rider's thread and then being so precious about someone telling said people maybe they should be somewhere else. @AmRacer you think Remco is nowhere near Pogi, ok, I think you've made your point by now.

 

[KoopaCycling]

That's the beauty of the ignore button bah. I don't see AmRacer posts anymore. And it's a thing of beauty.

It's not negative, Remco has lost fair and square. No need for E&E's.

I see yours, and I don't complain.

There is always hope, but, man, sure doesn't look like there is any.😁

It doesnt matter how he lost; you'd be here shitting on his performance in any case.

Someone wrote like this time he lost fair and square. Implying that wasn't the case in other races, even though it was.

If you haven't noticed it, Remco is riding on a golden bike.

I've read it two or three times and it still makes no sense to me. Certainly doesn’t address your posts on here and what your purpose is.

Okay

If not for Pogacar, we’d be marveling at Remco’s shocking solo victories and dominance in championship racing. Still an incredible rider.

 

[Pantani_lives]

So this remains the only title that he hasn't won. Perhaps he can do it next year in Slovenia. In the lion's den...

Who are you talking to?

Remco already has a spectacular palmares himself and outside of MvP the only one really willing to take it to Pog.

With a better winter he will be able to challenge Pog in the Ardennes which I think are Remco’s best suited events (other than Fleche where i think Huy will always give Pog an advantage that Remco will find hard to overcome). I think it would be nice to see him ride MSR as i think that would definitely suit him particularly if Pog races aggressively as it would add another dimension for the whole race if he was able to be there to give MvP two protagonists to worry about.
