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

[Berniece]

Fleche seems a bad fit, and LBL he already won twice.

Yeah but LBL is more important than Romandie

 

[KoopaCycling]

It's what i'd like him to do, not what is more important.
It's moot though. it would take heaven and earth for Remco not to ride LBL when in shape methinks.

Would love to see him do Strade but I doubt he has the skills for it

If it was all on tarmac, it would be great profile for Remco but on gravel, yeah, no

I think he also said a few years ago that whenever possible, he will rdie LBL

Fleche also seemed a bad fit for Pogacar and an excellent fit for Roglic and guess who has 2 and who has none

The way Pidcock and Pogacar rode away last year. Can you see them pushing on a downhill section... Evenepoel can't follow that.

I feel like he could surprise in that regard at Strade.

That was my point, on gravel he has no chance really

I just don't feel the reward is worth the risk. In best case scenario you probably still lose to Pogacar and in the worst case you can basically end your classics season and still be suboptimal for the Tour

he wasnt bad on the gravel in 2024
