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

[KoopaCycling]

I don't think Jonas is in GT shape either, and same for Almeida. And no, they are all at the same point, nobody is further from top shape. The one(s) who have start racing should have an advantage though. Who dislike Remco?

No no, you always claimed Almeida and Vingegaard default shape more closely resembles their GT shape, as they are more naturally suited to it.
By your logic Almeida and Vingegaard should then by default be naturally better when Remco is equally as far away as the other two from his GT shape.

 

[AmRacer]

If that makes you happy.

Neither happy or the opposite

Remind me of such post by me. By your logic, Remco's shape is always such that if he loses, an excuse is always ready at hand.

I struggle to find the point of labeling anyone in such a subjective way. He has to work harder than some really skinny guys to get to weight. That's all I said.

I get cringe Phil Ligget vibes like when he had to make some distinction between "real climbers" and the guys like Indurain and Armstrong who blew them away in the mountains. It seems dumb to me. One could also just have called them "guys who can't TT or climb as well as big champions".

Yeah, that's like the definition of a natural climber. They are built for it and has an advantage, while as you say, Remco and others have to work harder for it.

Nope, i think he'll win. or if he loses it will be close. which i already mentioned in a post.

some posts already been deleted by he said / ... but you all suddenly forget all of your own words and then ask for reminders. Just google the posts from summer/fall last year as i mentioned in a now deleted moderated post.

It was you bringing something up, so show us the proof. Yes, he wins or loses. I agree with that.

So you don't like being reminded of bad takes, then pretend you did not make them. Fine by me.
As i said you can just go and read your own stuff from summer/fall.

I bothered with that spanish named guy and re-posted his post. he was just in denial. so were you back then as well.
So no point in doing the legwork. When you're already again in denial.

Just read your posts from summer/fall

Great. What was the point of your initial response to me then? Why did you need to ask me / state that he's not a "natural climber"?

I don't get the point.

You must back up your claims.

I don't get the point.

It's a free forum, I was just pointing out what it means. You don't need to answer, if you don't feel for it.

Anybody that can ride to third in his first Tour is a "natural climber" by any definition. At any rate, the whole notion of "natural" is scientifically meaningless, when it just boils down to power to weight ratio over sustained output. One either has it or not and everybody has to train hard and diet right to get there.

It's backed up on this thread, just search for your own posts. easy enough i would think if you feel like doing the legwork. I already pointed out why i am not feeling for it. As doing so last time around just was pointless in the end.

I got you off ignore for a day, clearly a mistake on my part. Better for us to not talk to each other methinks, as i'm sure we both find each other very annoying for various reasons. Better go back to last 5 months of silence.

Some are more talented than others or has a body type matching the challenge. Others need to work harder for it.

Again, you claim something and refuse to back it up.
I never put anyone on any ignore list.

What do you mean?

 

[KoopaCycling]

Maybe that Remco looked in good shape early on in 2024 as well.
