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

[Lurkerman]

What happened after januari 2024 with his topic is too good to be true. Entire thread should be moved to the clinic for social doping!

The more interesting fact is that Remco's thread has 5M views, whilst Pog's got only 4M. In short, the Remco thread is a better read, as I'm sure all lurkermen can confirm

Well i barely post in the Pogacar thread...

It will take a miracle, but a Lombardy win would mean so much more for Remco than it would for Tadej.
Same was true for the EC RR imo. Against my own, more rational sense, i'll be hoping for a Remco win tomorrow.

It's not impossible. He was a half step below Pog last week and 3 ahead of the rest of the peloton

It's not impossible Pog is past peak whereas Remco is at peak this week, similar to Amstel (just dont choke int he sprint if that is the case)

Pog is past peak…

Not impossible, but I think that’s pulling at straws, frankly.

Only way is a mechanical.

At very best Remco catches him on the flat (only if he is just a little behind at top of last big climb). But then Remco has to sit on his wheel (which he has never done) and even then Pog could still win the sprint.

😐

Maybe the way to dull Pog's sprint is to do what Remco did at Amstel. Going to the front and cooking Pog on the flat. Pog, like everyone else, won't get much of a rest behind Remco

For that to work they have to be pretty much isolated together with 25K to go and no more climbs and a group still fairly close behind. A headwind would not hurt either.
