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

[Oldman]

I’m very high on Seixas. Huge for sure. And would love him to crush Pog.

But l’m not 100% sure he has surpassed Remco on a course like LBL yet. Maybe. But not yet, I think. His Basque rides were great but ultimately he couldn’t drop Lipowitz, so we will see.

Yeah, don't think that's happening. Pogi can take a beating so can't see anyone "crushing" him. Likewise, I wouldn't think he'd do more than usual after he gets a gap; maintain it and monitor what's going on behind.

Oh for sure. Without mishap Pog wins this easy. I am just hoping Seixas can rival him sooner rather than later.

I see more of a reenactment of the EC last fall. Maybe Seixas comes in with Remco this time.

that would be a massive improvement.

Remco was 30 seconds behind Pog while Sexias was about 3 minutes behind Remco.

Remco lost 40 seconds on the stretch where Sexias was doing the work in front.

Sexias has a ways to go to challenge Remco regularly, much less Pog

Hopefully Seixas actually takes turns this time instead of staying in the wheel

Remco is the 2nd LBL favourite until proven otherwise, he's just super good during long races on this kind of terrain. Seixas is a step below, I would place him at #3 in terms of winning/podiuming probability but normally there should be some guys (i.e. Pidcock when healthy) with similar odds.

Is he riding Fleche or not?

According to PCS he is.
