What place will Remco get in RVV?

[Extinction]

Logically he doesn't have a chance to win but I voted 'win' in the poll anyway, because it's destiny

Me too.

He can make the race hard on those parts in between after the climbs. The Oude Kruisberg/Hotond section is way harder than it seems on television. I expect him there already, just to get with a smaller group to 2nd Kwaremont and Paterberg. If he's in position on Berg ten Houte, he can even go there. That's with 75km to go. They could be gone with 4-5 riders for the final.

Its great news that Remco is racing RVV, its the monument of his home region and I think it might become a big target for the future.

I voted top5 but really just hope that he doesn't crash out of the race.

Should have a poll, 'Which Belgian will have the best placing?'

 

[hayneplane]

I mainly just hope he avoids bad luck so we get to see a true taste of his potential for the race.

If it all goes right he could podium but I have a hard time envisioning him beating Pogacar.

Now Pogacar is playing with his head. Just attack and let the dice roll...ille iacta est.

Si, certo.

Congrats to those who voted for the podium. He did better than I expected (top5).

Well done Remco..... a very good result. How can he win a one day race with Pog???
Essentially he has to look for one day races that he doesn't do.

 

[jmdirt]

I will say 3rd.

He is not lucky then. Pogacar is racing all monuments for 2 years in a row.

There are other classics

Much better ride than expected !. Hopefully he will target then cobbled classics more often.

Amstel and Fleche maybe..... I know not monuments but prestigious one day races

Absolutely no shame in today's game, Remco came to race, constant contributor and regardless of minor miscalculations, the guy never, ever gave up. I really hope today could be the learning experience he needs to make it to the next level. With very little mental and physical specialty preparation, he raced great. Did his pause from social media noise help? Would appear it did. And his brain and race processing obviously works way better when he is going one day at a time instead of various stage race lengths and he is always near crumbling when races are 3 weeks. Even when the guy was killing himself, his head and upper body had him in control, no body bouncing or bobble head because he was too tired to hold it up. Truly impressive.

Why was voting not made public ? I want to see my other fellow 17 podium voters. We are clearly more knowledgeable and should get some forum privileges. Like gesturing at other users Remco style and have them receive warnings for being uninformed!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I voted for podium, making me part of that elite group of Forumites.

 

[jotafap]

He did slightly better than i expected, solid performance and clearly the 3rd strongest in the race. He must come back now, and hope for Pogi to stop coming here maybe in 1 or 2 years. Should be clear by now that he will lose every race Pogi is in.

I think Remco benefited a lot from UAE making a race hard from Molenberg and onwards
