A date with the patron telling you every reason why he lost every race he’s been in. Hope there is plenty of wine

Remco Wine > Forum Whine

He doesn’t drink, ever, so you can’t either on the date

 

[Samu Cuenca]

You won a date with Remco. 😁

Thank you. It'll be the highlight of his career.

 

[tobydawq]

I hate both of them. Where's my prize?

You do?

I don't know, his wife isn't exactly plain-looking.

All in all i feel that Rogla looks strong for Lombardia. Likely too strong, for Pogi to leave it to a sprint. It should be brutal. Looking forward to it.

This reminds me of 2019, when everyone was marking Roglic and Valverde and we got a random Mollema win.

Great racing from Van Wilder, and a deserved victory. And and even better interview at the finish, really likable guy.

So what does Emilia and Tre Balli tell us about Lombardia chances? I think Carapaz might be a big contender. And surprise of today was Zana.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

You do?

I only really dislike the fact that they have kept riders I've been a fan of from winning more races.

Good lad, we've all been had, QS riders most of all and it's good to finally see it verbalised, great to see a young man showing some spirit in his interviews like this.

Thats a true leader and captain. No pretender.

Hirschi is THE dark horse IMHO!

Bigger problem was that those two were marking each other, and everyone else looked at them, except Mollema...

Evenepoel versus Pog versus Rog.

If those 3 mark each other too tightly, then someone else could benefit. But to be fair Lombardia is so hard anyway, it'll be a very select group (or just a solo rider) who make to the finish line for the win.

The weather should be good (warm as well).

Watched the last 10km. Great win by Van Wilde. Super strong and well timed attack. Pog didn't seem his usual self (saving his legs?). Good to see Carapaz going well at EF.

For Lombardia i would say both Rogla and Pogi look strong. I doubt one could just get dropped. In current form i would give the edge to Rogla in regards to the sprint. Still Rogla needs to get to there in a good position. So for JV i feel that bringing van Aert is almost a must. Remco is a bit of an unknown. He likely will try to drop everybody, or will get dropped. As for other riders getting involved. Could be. Still i feel that the selection at Lombardia will be bigger. Here the group was too big and it would be really hard to control in the last 10km or so. So other riders from the group had a good chance today. At Lombardia main favourites likely won't allow for that. Rogla likely comfortable with the sprint, whilst Pogi and Remco likely trying to decide the race from far.

It's frightening how little you have learned in 4 years.

Fausto will have the best doms.

I have a rather good recollection in regards to your predictions about Roglič.

 

[Lequack]

Van Welder, the new Remco but better

Budget Remco. But not in heart.

 

[Jagartrott]

Ok, Van Wilder just gained another fan with that interview!

Indeed, me. He gets an extra point for the almost over-the-top Flemish-English accent.

I don't know..., I wouldn't bet on sprint too much. I mean if it comes to that, than ok, he's not without a chance certainly, but I wouldn't race it that way. Pogacar is a different beast in a sprint after 250 km, he's tough nut to crack. He should try to put the pressure on him on Ganda, and even Bergamo Alta if they're still together, I feel Rogla has the upper hand atm in terms of climbing. Although, Remco will probably going to open a race way earlier.

@Blanco

Well, Pogi can then always sit back and try sprinting. To test this theory.
