    I'm a Remco believer. The day i saw him on the start of the Giro TT with a pale, almost scared face, and later winning the TT by a second, while being sick with covid i became a massive fan. This guy is tough as nails, and has an iron will. To win a TT at this level agains bigger, stronger specialists while you're sick is absolutely insane. I hope he goes for it, maybe even attacks on the hilly stages. I think he can win the whole thing.

    He is much more a GC contender than hyped Pidcock for a real grand tour but still not enough to be considered for GC podium finish.

      You have to consider Remco. I would never pick him over Jonas and Tadej in top shape, but neither of them will be in top shape. And i will absolutely pick him over Roglic.

      Pidcock decents like a god. Better than the whole peleoton. Get him in a brakeaway and on late descents. Its special but hey the guy is short skinny and can climb and descent well. MTB...

      @@patrickbateman7444 These kids are all young, meaning that there is plenty of room for improvement... Guys like Ayuso, Rodriguez, Arensman, Pidcock, Evenepoel, Gee, Riccitello, Jorgenson, Del Toro, Christen and all those orhers young guns can maybe not beat the likes of Vingegaard, Roglic and Pogacar yet, (We think)... But we have seen weirder stuff happen in our beloved sport.... Exactly three years back, just before the 2021 Tour de France you would have said that I was crazy if I would have told you that Jonas Vingegaard would ride podium in the three next editions of the Tour... And just see what happened....
      It can very well be possible that the next five times Tour de France winner is already riding in the peloton, but that nobody at this point has ever considered him even as a top ten candidate for GC....
      Thus don't be to quick on making a judgement on what riders can achieve in their career.... Most riders do still have their best performances in the age between 26 and 32..... It has always been like that, that some riders do need several seasons of competition to improve, and that has not changed.... Athough I will straight away admit that we see a lot of young super talented riders already beforme amazing at the age of 20/21/22... That's just crazy to be honest, but it shows how much the youth category has improved in the last ten years.. Nowadays thos 16/17 year young kids do almost train like pro's...

    im support Remco to shake the GC battle, but to winning the Tour ? still far away. Sorry. But at least i hope he can heatening the competittion. Tadej is the BIG obstacle for him, also Jonas ( hopefully he is on top form enough after disaster ). Third spot for Remco....

      All correct, but he had no real contenders during those (potential) win(s). He might be best of the rest, sure, but he is not on the level of Vingegaard, Pogacar and Roglic. He just isn't.

    I think this is so hilarious, the Remco bandwagon cheerleaders rooting for him, talking about time trials and forgetting that a tour is won over 3 weeks. Remco will not even podium, but I think it's good he participates in the tour. That way, the world will witness him getting humiliated by Pogacar and co.
