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

[vappaxbipmv]

My conclusions today: Remco was the strongest and deserved to with but the motos on the climb just when he attacked were outrageous, 8 motos in 50m, it's a big problem in cycling. Also, if he wasn't that aero he could have been caught, I think he overdid it on the climb and was somewhat cooked afterwards. So at the end, the strongest rider won, but without motos and as aero as others he might not ...

I concur. Also about motos not related to Remco cause it has happens a lot and it feels like its happening more rather than less, which is becoming a real problem. It needs to be addressed.

Almeida is not good in his first race, and 2.3 km hills is not his specialty to say the least. This suits Remco very well and duo to that Im not particularly impressed. That said Remco wasnt bad either and did what he was supposed to.

23 km hills suits Almeida better

He pushed hard and went into the red, but he did not win cause of motos. The others were in his wheel when they dropped. The aero part sounds like if granny smiths weren't green, they could be red to my ears. Part of remco's strenghts is that he's aero. Also he took that last short wall well enough.

Like I said in my first statement, Remco was the strongest and deserved to win, I didn't say he won because of the motos just that it's a problem, which it is

Also, we know that Remco is more aero than almost anybody else and if he could just hold the gap to around 12-15s despite that, it tells me that with normal non very aero position he could be caught. So I don't know what you're arguing against because my conclusions are totally valid

Without his fast-twitch muscle fibres, Merlier might not be winning any sprints.

RE is having a really solid start...Red Bull is giving him wings!

Reduce the Number of Cars and Motos!

There are too many cars and motos zipping around the riders! Are we shocked that riders are getting whacked every day?! The UCI and/or race promoters need to get on this!
