Kind of a bummer he'll go into altitude training with a bad result. Hopefully he'll have a better Catalunya.

Race isn't over yet. Not to mean he's going to win GC, more like he can still try to go for a stage and salvage something out of this race.

He paced himself like a neopro but even so its kinda miniscular if your just not good enough on these gradients. Year 5 and counting or whatever it is at one point its fair to say something gotte give.
Form was as good as can be in feb and above all this is a negative trend and a terrible sign for whats to come if the aim is podium in tdf thats just the reality.
Next mountain stage is better for Remco, but also for Del Toro. Del Toro is most likely to win in a sprint.
Tiberi will win the GC if he finishes with them that day. He looks strong and should be able to hold on to that climb.

'we don't know what went wrong' - Translation - we took a fat rider as leader on a 10km @ 10% climb and he started attacking 7km outDS - extraordinair - Lodewyck responded with: "We have no clue what went wrong".
Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe tast (voorlopig) in het duister over Remco Evenepoel: "Krampen? Geen sprake van" | sporza
De etappe naar Jebel Mobrah is voor Remco Evenepoel een lijdensweg geworden. De leider verloor 2'04" op de zware slotklim en moet een kruis maken over zijn ambities in de UAE Tour. Kort na de finish kon ploegleider Klaas Lodewyck de vinger nog niet meteen op de wonde leggen. "Misschien ging hij...sporza.be
I believe you're a native speaker of Dutch, so you should know that this can't be his name. It's Tijmen Graat
Of course Evenepoel can do better than this, but the fact remains that in nearly every stage race, at some point he just cracks on a climb. And there's always excuses, like today it's cramp, tomorrow it's the wrong bike, the day after it's sickness. I don't see why this should be any different this year, it's not like Bora have proved to be miracle workers thus far. Evenepoel is a really good rider, just not a born climber.
Shocking statement from the DS.
Why not say it wasnt the best day and they will analyse it.
Saying "we have no idea" is very amateurish and straight up laughable. Even if its true, why say it in public?
It does not fill anyone with confidence to say the least.

Not Del Toro. I think him and Pogacar will have some interesting times when they ride together his year (not GT wise but in other races)
I don't see the rest being better than remco over the course of a whole GT. Unless he boinks hard.

DS said it was not a cramp. Later today remco will say he cramped up
. But DS said it was right after the stage and did not have the time to analyse , so as of now they don't know. He felt good yesterday (remco), so not sure why he was so bad today basically.

Jebel Hafeet is still quite difficult. If for some reason Evenepoel does a sprint with Del Toro there then something really went wrong today. There are 2 scenarios:
1. There's an actual excuse for his performance today that has nothing to do with his physique (what I think)
2. There's something wrong with his physique (what you think)
You can't expect him to struggle at 11-12% this hard, and then be in contention for victory at 8-9%.

Only if there's a reason for his failure today that has nothing to do with his physique and weight. Because you can't change those things in 3 days.

True can't change shape in 3 days, unless you go extreme and that won't help being good in sports.
But for remco there does seem to be a difference between 8% and double digits.
I think remco needs specific prep to be decent/good at the latter. Whereas natural talent keeps him competitive at slightly lower gradients.
GT: Don't know how much Del Toro has improved, and others as well. The fight for third could be interesting, if Jonas can deliver a second place.

He shouldn't be just competitive. He should be able to win these races without a problem.

Maybe the clue is the lack of context after "the Tour"?
There's too many Tours to be won and the plot twist is that he isn't aiming for "..de France" but "... of Britain" perhaps.

No excuses from Evenepoel. Didn't feel well all day, had cramps from the start of the climb, it is what it is.

Remco Evenepoel wil geen excuses zoeken na offday met vroege krampen: "Ik had sowieso geen goed gevoel" | sporza
Op Jebel Mobrah is hij zichzelf tegengekomen. Remco Evenepoel verloor niet alleen zijn rode leiderstrui in de UAE Tour, de kopman van Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe zakte er stevig door op de onbekende col. "De inspanning van gisteren was niet volledig verteerd."
Remco Mustafa perhaps started his fasting today. It is the first day of the Muslim's month of Ramadhan.

Accountability is when you admit your mistakes and then don't make them again. This is just a description of how he claims he felt, and he doesn't really admit to anything.

True I just have zero expectations from him regardig this and take whatever I guess. Honestly whatever im tired of this relentless cycle of mental gymnastics.
