- Why Remco Evenepoel Will DOMINATE 2024 Tour De France?
Remco Evenepoel wants to be seen as one of the best cyclists in the world, but to prove this point once and for all, he would have to join the most prestigious race of the year, the Tour de France. And there’s a reason why despite him not going up against the top two this past season, many believe he could dominate the 2024 edition and make it a three-way showdown. But could Remco really win the Tour de France and outperform two of the best riders the cycling world has ever seen - Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard? And if so, how is he planning to do it?

Just don’t lose a half hour on the first high mountain stage, Rémy
Imagine a four man battle in the tour. Vingegaard, Pogacar, Evenepoel and Roglic, that’s gonna give fireworks.
Only if they keep reducing the the mountain stages difficulties.
GC KUSS
Will turn into pogi vs jonas I reckon, they seem a level above
@@jamesbayliss2139probably but I hope it will be a four man battle until Paris. 😁
@@artofthechicken1733 It's likely that Kuss will have to support Jonas since he might not be able to outperform Pogacar. However, it would be incredible if Kuss gets a chance to compete for a GC spot on his own.
Dominated? Just like this year 2023 at the Vuelta?
Remco is an excellent rider, but he is still not there at the same level of Jonas and Tadej, is hilarious to think that after what happened on vuelta 2023
Let's just keep the pressure off of the guy. And - I agree, to some point. But, honestly, let's look forward to this battle ... anyway it pans out ... I can't wait. And whoever is the strongest, well he's the strongest 🙂
Was it also hilarious to think that Vingegaard would finish 2nd in the Tour after his 46th place, 1h57 mins behind the winner, in the Vuelta a year before? Vingegaard was dropped on every single climbing stage then.
It’s not hilarious. Based on his god given talents and achievements already, remco can seriously compete. Soudal needs to supply an even stronger tour team to give him the chance to win
This video is like if AI was told to make it.
Yes, maybe someone ought to teach it how to pronounce "complicated"!
HaHaHaHa....No Fing Way!!!!! Pogacar didn't lose until the the end???? This guy is smoking something, I'd like to purchase.
your 3 horse race dream will be fullfilled by primoz and not remco. if he doesnt have the balls to even lose in tdf then he doenst have the balls to win it. imagine not participating because you know youll lose already thats not a good mindset at all.
Breaking news alert : Remco got a nice 2nd place finish at the Paris-Nice race while Roglic was a ghost the entire race and ended up a very distant 10th. I think Evenepoel will be in a better shape than Roglic for the Tour
@@severusrogue259well paris nice is not tdf. but we will see i never claimed remco is not strong, im just saying he doesnt have a good mindset
@@severusrogue259imagine comparing nice to tdf😭 delulu
Vingegaard has that viking blood 🇩🇰
No as he isnt a good enough climber. Should focus on the classics and one day races.
I agree, he does struggle severely on the climbs. But he's got a year to improve, so who knows, if he can improve there as well, he might just be in it to win it :)
He’s super talented and a world class cyclist but I agree he’s not as good as pogacar and vin in the high mountains. Horses for courses.
Remco will dominate what in TDF?!
Clickbait title...
With Remco on TJV, there is no way he can win. Probably Jonas will win again, his only hope is Jonas drops out and he can take over as leader like Jonas in 21 and sort of 22. But even then he will have a hard time beating pogi.
Wow, whoever produced this video needs to hire the voiceover that can pronounce peoples names and words in general
He will dominate placings 6th to 10th
Leave time to the kid.
I believe a learned a lot in 2023 and that will serve him for 2024 and beyond.
Remco Evenepoel is doing incredible stuff on the bike, and realy no one in the world can deny that he does have a huge amount of talent. But when it comes to stage races he's not (YET) at the same level as Vingegaard, Roglic and Pogacar. Which is also the reason why he could never beat on of those three in a stage race in which neither of them did crash out of the race or get sick before the end.
I do not say that he will never win the Tour de France, because the kid is still young and can still learn and improve. But my humble opinion is that he's not there yet when it comes to beat the other "big three".
Roglic could have crashed or not crashed all he wanted he would have been beaten by remco either way in 2022 vuelta. With Jonas and Pogacar its another story I dont think he can get near those guys. The Giro this year also looked promising for Remco before he had to quit due to covid.
He has unfinished business in Italy, so it would make so much more sense for him to ride the '24 Giro. Yet give him credit for all this bluster over the '24 Tour. Still, should he falter and cry himself a river in France, I think he should simply be commended for stepping up to the plate and swinging for the fence. And why does he not simply say, hey, first time for this, being anywhere on the podium would be the dream, it would mean he defeated one of his three famous rivals. And Remco may very well have his way at the Tour one day--or days if he goes stage hunting next July, something he would surely do well as his rivals watch each other for the overall. And it is all fun to speculate, so I got no problem with you, Watts, saying he could dominate. And who knows, maybe this will be the first of ten dominant wins in a row, woohoo.
I believe remco has similar climbing ability because of his weight and power but his rate of recovery is nowhere near pogacar and vingegaard level of recovery. And i feel that recovery is hard to train. You either recover quick or you dont. However i would love to see him prove this theory wrong becuase it would be great for the sport if it was a 3 horse race.
No. It's not "recovery" difficulty but managing his exertions in the conditions he found himself in. And that is as much on his team as it is on the protected rider. His "wolf pack" team is delusional.
"You either recover quick or you dont."
That's the most fallacious thing I've ever heard about human physiology. And he did in fact recover well. He just "bonked" too hard and caught himself off-guard. That means his team was not monitoring his exertions or teaching him how to do it on his own in "the wolf pack". Something like this can happen in a race like the Vuelta just from improper planning of the cog selection and team strategy through some of the tough sections of the stage.
I'm sure a certain GRAND TOUR WINNER would like to know that you left him off of the 'THREE-horse' race! Tadej: check, Jonas: check, PRIMOZ:CHECK...Remco: NADA. Once that happens, fine (he IS extremely talented, and will no doubt make major waves soon). But until then, any 3-horse race must be Jonas, Tadej, and Primoz [chips don't lie].
Remco need to prove himself first against Jonas and Pog. At this stage he is lightyears behind so we wait for the tour
If they gonna let him ☺️!! And i mean ( jumbo, bora) as long he don’t interfere with they’re plans he will have good results!!
My favourite cyclists are Fahusto coppy and Endurian. And I love to climb the Alpe de Whey.
Favourite riders, but you can't even write their names correctly ?!?! Fausto Coppi and Miguel Indurain.... It ain't that hard mate, hehehe. 😉😅✌
@@swissbiggy you didn't watch the video..... that's why it's even harder for you.
4 way 2023 TdF, not 3 way. Don't forget this guy called Roglic. Remco, although incredible, I don't think would challenge those guys. Just a gut feel.
He’s gonna get dropped like he did in the worlds, the Vuelta and again today in Lombardia. If he’s not in first he’s always complaining about something. Very disappointing to watch him ride. Jonas will be a three time champ.
Jonas won the Tour for the last time in 2023. Mark my words.
@@ikhonamedia 😂 how much you wanna bet?
@@johnpyle2 A lot!
@@ikhonamedia bro they just signed Uijtdebroeks and sepp kuss will be there. Who knows what power they will bring for Jonas but no other team can even compete at Visma LAB level. Only team comes close is UAE but Pogi has not been in top shape for the long climbs and is more focused on the classics.
@@johnpyle2 keep dreaming. Tadej and Remco are pure, natural champions. At the age of 23, Jonas finished 46th in the Vuelta, 1h57m behind the GC winner and was dropped in EVERY mountain stage. Remco won a Vuelta at the age of 22. Indurain won his first Tour at 27 and won 5 times in a row. As long as Remco doesn’t have the age of 27, your crystal ball is pretty useless. ;-)
The narrator has a familar voice.
I just came to say NO. And good job with your bait video.
He can't even keep up with the high pace of the steep climbs. He gets dropped when the going gets tough
You do know there's a guy named Primoz Roglic out there, right?
Keep Dreaming
Champions always dream, while it is unlikely we can't deny he has potential. But people these days are sold what the media tells them they can't have an opinion on their own without harming anyone.
A few years ago the Wolfpack dominated the classics.
It didn't matter which rider won. As long as it was one of the pack.
To put all your eggs in one basket, with Evenepoel, is a bit risky.
No way!
No way what? xD
@@WattsYT My money is on Pogacar!
This is science fiction!!
I really don’t understand the Remco craze. An insanely good rider…yep.
Yet no one can deny Remco has tendency to get dropped in the most important/difficult climbs. Is he a better ITT rider than Primoz, Jonas, Wout or Pogacar? Maybe, but he’s not far above any of them.
Doesn’t really matter though, the Team he rides for can’t support Tour winner.
Everybody and their mother seems to write, make videos and talk about Evenepoel. He is a good rider, but I think he will only dominate the headlines and speculations, as he has done all this year. There is even a thread on CN titled "Remco is the new Merckx" and the title was there even 3 years ago. Since then it's somewhat tongue-in-cheek. He's the only one to boast about his "numbers", discounts eventual GT winners as "not real contenders" and drops off the radar somewhere in the middle of the race. But that doesn't matter, since he is HIM. The news cycle will go on and on and on about him. As for his chances of winning the TDF: I don't see it happening, not in 2024, not in this decade.
He is only 23 and was 1 year inactif in prof cycling because of his fall in that ravine ! he had to build up from 0 and STILL he managed to win more than 50 prof stages in his young career. How much riders can show such papers ??? He still must learn to ride more tactical and learn to save his energy in somme races. He DONT need a lot of TT stages in a big tour to win. Because vingegaard is also a good TT rider, last tour he beated Pogacar with a lot of time....
I do love Jonas 🇩🇰 ( Im danish but thats not the reason) and Tadej. They both have respect for one another. As goes for Primoz, who was the teacher for Jonas, but sadly lost the TDF in the last TT in 2020. I felt soooo sad for him. He is a great great rider and he has always respected his teammates. Remco unfortunately comes across as a selfish egoistic cyklist with absolutely no respect at all……and whom ever you are, you do need a whole teams support. To me I feel so sad that Primoz is leaving Jumbo/Visma but on the other hand I would like to see him winning TDF with his new team from 2024 Bora Hans Groe…..ofc I love the great rivalry between Jonas and Tadej and I feel so conflicted now that Primoz is joining TDF on Bora…..I really would love all 3 of them being in the GC but Remco sorry to say, he seems so immature and I really dont want him in the GC …..not my cup of tea….my ❤ belongs to Tadej, Primoz and Jonas in GC hopefully with Primoz 🥇 I think Jonas will feel very conflicted to race against his teacher…..being the humble dane 🇩🇰 that he is…….
You should listen to the lanterne rouge podcast with remco. It changed my opinion on him. I think the media casts him as a selfish diva but he seemed quite reasonable in the interview
What happens is that in most of the sports they show you that you should be a little selfish to put yourself in a position where the other athletes respect you, the problem it’s that in cycling that isn’t common and we are used to super humble team leaders, Remco comes from football, where everybody is like that, he started cycling pretty late and probably he took the values from football to cycling, in football they are used to the big egos, dramatic and critic because that SELLS (and I don’t even think Remco it’s like that) while in cycling we always think in a humble person when we think on a team leader
@Arkir24 I do think it's the spur of the moment comments that the media focus on, so these things he say after the race us maybe not what he would feel in say 3 days, so the perception around him isn't good
@@emilioroman9853 thank you so much for clearing that up. I didnt know he used to play football now it all makes sense to me. I will have to forgive him, for being so heated…..a much respected way of being in football ( my other passion or rather just World cup and European Championship ) but thank you 🙏 from this crazy sport loving danish woman 🇩🇰😂
Coming from football, you normally celebrate a goal or win extravagantly. In cycling, most riders do interviews the traditional way, with fake humility. Remco says what he really thinks and he isn't abnormal selfish or egoistic but honest.
He's just not on Roglic/Vingegaard level in high altitude, no one is
He isn't a very good stage racer. This year he has only won one this year, of the six he started.
True! But he might improve ;)
Sure, but the first one he started for fun and just to prepare. He got dropped at altitude by people who already trained/lived at altitude while he didn't.
He lost Catalunya by 6" to Roglic and made a few mistakes along the way, he was at least as strong as Roglic there and arguably stronger.
Giro he got covid, that was just unfortunate.
Suisse came too early after covid.
Vuelta is more difficult, he didn't have the best prep and he seems to have snapped mentally in that one stage.
I don't think you can call him a bad GC rider based on this. More unlucky and still some things to learn.
If he doesn't fall he wins, the little bastard,TDF coming,nice race today
You have to be a Belgian to believe that
The 2024 Tour is a race between Pog, Vinge and most likely Rog and at a distant fourth comes Remco. Thinking anything else is delusional. Doesn't mean he's a bad GT rider, he has just yet to prove he's even close to being a great GT rider.
his victory is Inevenepoel
3 billion people watched this year's tour? I find that very hard to believe.
Sounds to me like you arrived at that number by adding up the viewership of every individual stage, which is nonsense.
Also Remco joining Israel Premiertech wouldn't make any sense. Their team is just as ill suited to support him, as his current team.
Yeah, I think using ASO estimates is like grading yourself at an exam -- pointless. I read somewhere that 'independent' experts put the number at 20 million unique viewers per stage globally.
And my guess would be that the numbers for the weekends are much higher than on weekdays.
@@Jan-se1nd Yeah, a study from a Belgian university comes to around 10-25m viewers per stage depending on the kind of stage.
He's still on the wrong team if he wants to beat Pogacar's points and GT tallies. He might never win the Tour if he sticks to long with any team that fashions itself as "the wolf pack". The team only works well together on stages and the classics. I'm already impressed that Evenepoel managed to win the 2022 Vuelta. And this "day without" this time really came out of nowhere. What that tells me is that even he doesn't realize how badly managed his team is.
They are getting good riders for a mountain train for 2024 its gonna be a very good team for TDF. The problem is also Remco himself with his own temperament. He does not ride smartly really and he seems to do the best alone, not utilizing his team.
Jonas is too strong to beat in TDF
LOL.. Tourmalet joined the group..
Sorry. I HAD to come here just to respond to the title of this video. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
Remco is a much better overall cyclist than Vingegaard, why is tdf the most important race ? Yes, money
3-horse race? Remco probably won't beat Roglic
Not everyone that wins the Vuelta is a Le Tour winner and not everyone that gets dropped by every A-lister they race against in the two GTs they partake in all year and then avoids having to be chased down and/or race against said A-Listers by losing time on top of losing time or “getting sick” during a tour that this video thinks he can win next year, wins Le Tour either.
NOPE! JV will smack him on long climbs; and he will crack just like he did this Vuelta!
In Remco's last TT in the Giro he looked like a corps when he finished. Look back to the vids of the last giro how remco finished, he was looking verry terrible ! You dont have to ba a docter to see this....
Remco is a very good rider, but i think there are domestiques more fit to stage races than him.
Never! Where was het at the Vuelta and WC?😂
Possible but very unlikely. Remco is of course one of the best rides in the world, and one of the very best in ITT. But there are still Vingegaard, Pogacar and Roglic, and while in an ITT or some one day races he would be the favorite, on any 3 week tour with a lot of climibing he is not. In addition to that, his team is not as good as theirs, and the latest developments with the merger and not and less sponsor money for his team are not good for him as well.
So all in all, a catchy title, and not completely impossible, but not something any serious observer would expect.
He can’t beat Roglic or Pogacar, let alone Jonas. Not even a top 10 finish. If he is smart (which he’s not) he would go support Jonas in 2024 and learn how hard the TDF is and then be ready to challenge in 2025.
He's up there with no fears, If he doesn't face the challenge then he doesn't have what it takes.
👏👏👏
Wtf u mean let alone vingegaard, vingegaard won by 7:29 minuts to pogacar
Easy Tobias, I’m a huge Jonas Vingegaard fan. My wife is Danish. Let me be more clear. I believe Jonas is the #1 GC racer in the world. I believe he will win again in 2024 barring any crashes, illness or injury. Believe me, I was not trying to slight Jonas. 7:29 over Pogacar was a serious beat down. I have heard there is going to be a stage early on with some gravel. Not sure I like that and not sure how that will affect Jonas. I know Wout Van Art is going to love that.
@@tobiasdencker853 "let alone" indicates that is even harder to do.
Is this propaganda channel for Remco🤣
Pogi, Rog, Jonas, MVDP, WVA,
.............Remco
It ain't, there was just so much to say about him🤣 New video dropping soon, and it won't be Remco this time!
Is this Carlton Kirby speaking here? I can’t help but confused due to the way names like ineos or wont van Aert and the likes of Pogacar. I am a big fun of Carlton Kirby but when i listen to this video it sound a little off yo my hears. I apologize in advance just a big fun.
😂😂😂
He will cry like a baby in the high mountains😭🤣
Remco whining at the beginning of the Vuelta didn't do much to dispel the 'prima donna' notions. He needs to 'shut up and RACE'! Let your legs speak for you young man, and all will be fine; stay humble and hungry; keep worrying about "public perception" and other such nonsense, and watch your worst fears come true.
Is this made by AI or why is he mispronouncing so many words and names ?
not good enought in mountain!
Highly Doubtful
Don't make me laugh 😂😂😂
No chance
Pretty bad take. Especially for this Channel. What additional proof do you need, that Remco is a one day racer. MAYBE one week… but he’s not winning the tour
NOT A HOPE
No he won't!
Wishful thinking
Bahahahahahahahah NO, he will fight for 3rd with Roglic
Don't understand the glorious pronouncements about Remco. He's not that good. He totally failed in the Vuelta. He's not up to the same level as Jonas or Tadej or many other riders. He thinks he is better than he has shown.
Bro u delusional. Remco is definitely overhyped
