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

[KoopaCycling]

Pauwels already leaking stuff in March (possibly with Remco approval)
apparantly no EC TT this year.

I don't think he's going to be the best Grand Tour rider left when the tyranny of Pogacar and Vingegaard is finally at an end.

And it seems top2 Tour dominance of Pogacar-Vingegaard will continue for the unprecedented 6th straight year, barring bad lack.

Yeah that makes sense. The UEC ITT is the 7th of October. Lombardia is the 10th of October... He's also coming back from Canada for the UEC RR. So that will have an influence on his body too. It's just best to do:

Quebec, Montreal, WC ITT, WC RR, UEC RR and Lombardia

No, only some information about the dates, and hotels, etc

Take it with a huge grain of salt, but RBH is putting “Evenepoel in De Ronde” back on the table for this year.

I’ve got it by 3rd hand, hence the huge grain of salt. Maybe @LongtimeLurker knows more?

not surprised. He was the first reserve and they have a major injury

Oh, he is doing the ECITT

Given that Pogacar has not skipped Emilia in 2024 and raced full gas in the Euro's in 2025 in the exact same calendar spot, I would think Pogacar is gonna be going full gas in Ljubljana.

LFR can't read, the wielerflits article says he won't do the ECITT...
