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

Indeed, everyone will be there. The whole staff too. 200 people, except Lazkano

Why not Lazkano?

Why not Lazkano?

No one knows what's going on.

They do. 😉🫤

I meant the general public doesn’t know what’s going on. It’s weird we don’t know anything yet. At the moment I would think it’s clinic related

Wether Remco can improve at Red Bull remains to be seen. However with some people joining him in the move, he should be able to settle in well. If he does settle well, at least one thing he won't have to deal with anymore is the tranfer rumours. I've already seen some people try and make Del Toro the new transfer rumour guy. even though he seems locked in at UAE. And they have all the money. It's a good thing that is hopefully settled.

Remco would lose a lot time againts Vingegaard here, and Pogacar would sentenced the Giro.

No, next season Evenepoel will win against them.

If the Giro is better than what Tour served up for Remco, i think the choice should be obvious.

We don't really know what his goals are. Eventually Real goal could be LBL, Giro, TdF (at least yellow jersey), WC TT+RR and Lombardy. He should also start winning some one week stage races. He won Vuelta, UAE tour and was 3rd TdF but other then that he is crazy bad at stage races. He could potentialy try at MSR and RVV but his positioning is too bad for those two races. I think if he does schedule like T-A, Romandie, Giro and he forgets about LBL for one season he would really make progress in terms of his climbing. At Giro 2023 he said LBL preparation killed his Giro chances but he also said he will never skip LBL. With skipping LBL, he could 100% concentrate himself on climbing and he could probably win T-A (i doubt Tadej or Jonas will be there) and Romandie, since both of those races should suit him, also better preparation for Giro then LBL. Giro probably without Tadej and even Jonas(i still don't believe he will go). At TdF on this route Remco can't do much but they could try get yellow jersey at TTT. After TdF he has enough time for WC TT+RR, EC RR and Lombardia.

It would be hard for Rogla, Remco and Lipo to dodge the Tour in the 2026 season. As for the rest, they can choose freely.
