The Wonderkid Who QUIT Football To Become An Olympic Champion

As a Belgian, i never expected you to make a vid about the one and only, it's stranger if he isn't on the podium than when he is. Guys lets introduce you to Remco Evenepoel

This guy was a BEAST in the Anderlecht academy. Glad to see how he bounced back from the rejection like that.

[@GoneHorriblyWrong]

That one friend who's just goated at literally everything.🔥

[@mikemurphy8996]

Apparently the best cyclists in the world have one thing in common. They actually have larger hearts. Literally, their hearts are bigger than the average human. It allows them to have better cardio. Makes sense.

[@RD19902010]

Could you elaborate? Training increases the heart size, so is it about the starting size? The max. possible size?

[@AntiSociety100]

As with every endurance type of sports it is all a matter of how much oxygen you can take in and burn "per breath". Having a larger heart can help that because it can pump more blood around every shot. But it's just one of the parameters that make up a big oxygen transportation in the blood. Remco has a unique DNA, as said in the video he beat a 1st team professional at Anderlecht (best team of belgium at the time) when he was 15 with his performance tests. Kid is exceptional, and the way he acts is even more so given his talent.

[@ULTRAINFINITEJUSTICE]

@@RD19902010 bigger probably means more blood pumped through per pump so blood re oxygenates faster. it's why blood doping is so popular in the sport. just conjecture though.

[@symptomofsouls]

I have a larger heart too. Doc says it's enlarged. Crazy how people are just born with potential like that

[@MrVvulf]

Secretariat, the horse that set records in the 1970s that still stand TODAY (50+ years later) had a heart that weighed 22lbs at his autopsy. Twice the normal size for a thoroughbred.

I know it’s different but I love the videos on other sports other than football 🙌

[@cleanstrikefc]

i could watch your videos all day. great job

[@krisr3868]

Great video. A couple of minor things: The statement about winning seven races holds true for pro level cycling, but not so much at U19 level, where I think most top tier pros have come in with a double-digit number of wins as U19s (I believe Jonas Vingegaard - one of Remco's two main rivals for winning Tour de France - might be the exception to that rule). I also think you understated the fact that he skipped racing at U23 level entirely, as he was the first rider to do so since 2006 (and the first rider ever since the World Tour formally became a thing), and he started the trend of the best U19's skipping U23 entirely.

[@Microwavegod168]

Incredible video! I'd definitely watch more videos about athletes even outside of football enitrely. In football though, suggestion to make one about Sadio Mane. His story is fascinating and he's my favourite player

[@depekthegreat359]

This is an extremely so fantastic victory for him to permanently focus on cycling by leaving football and despite he was a good player in the latter,he is a super professional in the former,good friends!!!LONG LIVE TO HIM,GOOD FRIENDS!!!👍

[@andyukh1625]

That guy is a beast ! The power and will alone, to come back from such an horrendous injury is testament to his mental strength ……….. wow, just wow 👏🏽

Reminds me of Greg Lemond. Won the 1986 Tour de France. Got shot, needed 2 surgeries to survive. Missed 2 years of training. Came back to win the 1989 Tour de France. Won it again in 1990.

As a cycling fan, this guy is amazing. Definitely a top 5 cyclist, maybe top 3, never the best. It's clear who the best cyclist in the world is, right now, and that's not him. Maybe in the future... Not right now

[@simaogomes8077]

tadejjjjjj

[@invisiblescout6335]

Doubt he'll ever be the best on pure ability. By the time Pog drops off enough that Remco could be better, the younger gens will already have filled the spot.

[@BMCS97]

@@invisiblescout6335 I doubt it too but you never know. Some people start to decline earlier than others and maybe Remco is still a bit further away from his max potential than Pog is... I have major doubts, just like you, but you know, maybe in the future...

[@Dandyphonic]

Well, he's the best at times trials. But agree he is no pogi in terms of overall abilities.

[@pepejr10king]

Exacly. Pogacar is BY FAR the best. Jonas, and even Roglic are still ahed of him. But other than that he is better than anyone else

[@underdestruction6192]

Note aside Theate is the only solid defender we have now...But yes I was pissed not to see De Cuyper at the Euro for the sake of putting useless Debast !

[@deandoesstuff3371]

Not really... De Winter is a starter at Genoa. Faes and Bornauw ( despite people not liking them ) are both starters at Leicester City and Wolfsburg respectively. Debast is now a starter at Sporting CP and had a great performance in the CL. He has alot to learn, but definitely has alot of talent. There's also Dams at PSV. And a few other promising defenders as well. Theate is probably our best defender at the moment, but definitely not the only solid one we have. Also, Debast and De Cuyper both play in different positions. So, weird comparison.
