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

[peterfin]

Everyone expects Remco to improve at RBH. Del Toro is expected to improve even more. Yes, he didn't seem to on the level to be his competition this year, but if he does improve more than Remco, which is expected, he won't exactly be a push-around

I don't know what you're talking about with Johann, this is my opinion and if I am summarising him it's pure coincidence

Why is Del Toro expected to improve even more than Remco? Is he scheduled for an upgrade at UAE?

His age. But in todays world its no longer a given young riders will still improve significantly. Ayuso been stagnating for years for example

Because he's younger and less polished, so to speak

That’s true, I’m just thinking he can be consistent for 3 weeks when not at his best. Even though he has never showed that.

If there are two options, provided no Pogacar or Jonas at the Giro, wouldn't you rather go 100% and give yourself the best possible chance to win it, and even if you lose, know that you did everything you could, your best. Or go there undercooked and in the case of a loss, more realistic now, always wonder what could have been had you come at 100%? It's not like being sub optimally prepared for the Giro will increase his Tour odds anyway
