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

[KoopaCycling]

isn't it time to change the thread title? leave Merckx out of the discussion

True, Merckx never even become a WC TT champion. Let alone win an Olympic Gold medal.

That WC didn't exist and the Olympics were an amateur competition until the 90s in which only under-23s participated.

No.

ok but it's so stupid and useless

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

So is comments about changing the threadtitle.

Rider thread titles are just there to catch a moment in time, and that's perfectly fine.

This didn't age worse than my "Rohan Dennis Threat" title.

It was a joke

 

[Andre]

Not sure about that. He’ll do the descent a couple of times pre-MSR, but I doubt he would really train it

why not?

 

[Andre]

no, there's still plenty of time

Head over here first

 

[KoopaCycling]

Out of Merckx, Pogacar, Remco, only Remco has rocked the goatee.
Nuff said.

 

[Berniece]

why not?

Because he thinks he is good enough in descending. He’s arrogant that way

 

[saunaking]

He can only win if he attacks at the right time and Pogacar/MVDP look at each other. Otherwise he will lose the sprint

Yeah, just like tons of bike races are won

 

[Andre]

oh ok...yes, but we're not sure about that. Hopefully with his new team, his habits might change

 

[Oldman]

Why would he care? He was a serious racer; not a robot.

 

[pastronef]

So is comments about changing the threadtitle.

it's disrespectful to Remco. why the f keeping comparing riders. I like Remco. it's about him, not the new whoever it is. I mean, let's try to be serious for a moment.

 

[MLKarlos]

Any Information when he will be in Mallorca with RB?

Isn't training camp starting this week? I would expect him to be there already. At least that was the plan before he went to Calpe.

 

[Berniece]

Also a goodbye video from SOQ for him

Tomorrow, so he should already be there. Some riders arrived a few days ago.
