Nah, thermonuclear was his Liege 2022 attack. Still nuclear though. That said, I cannot wait until he lays out a thermobiblical attack. He's capable of it and when it happens, it'll be glorious.

@@gweflj you make a good yet controversial point. But that's just bike racing, there something for everyone.

[@villedocvalle]

Yeah, these smaller tours are a great buildup for his muscle memory. It’s obvious he can ride and ride strong. His youth, his tenacity, his riding iq, and mainly and to me most importantly, his soccer background make for great endurance. He still has to drop like maybe 10lbs to be able to compete with the top climbers though. Wow, I really wish him well in his career and hope he can transcend to a legendary level of riding.

Really? You think he need to prove to your sweaty ass?

@@villedocvalle it's true he's a bit heavy still but if he loses that weight he Will have a hard time in one day races and ITT's

[@ThisIsANameBruh]

I think the main two talking points should now be: remco defeated Roglic and vingegaard in Itzulia this year (finished ahead of them on GC) and this climbing performance. He took more time to develop than, say, pogacar but could we be looking at a worthy rival for future Grand Tours? I'm hopeful cause this next decade sure was looking like the Pog Show.

[@borisstone9732]

Remco's development has been slowed down a lot by his horrible crash in Il Lombardia 2020 also

[@bleskiven]

I've been living in Norway for a few years now. There are always complaints that the races here don't use the mountains. Fair enough, but so many of the roads are absolutely terrible because of snowploughs and spiked tires. A lot of the roads are also the only one servicing a large area. You can't just close them down for a few hours. I hope that, now that they have found this gem of a climb they will use it again

[@zackyeye]

When he talks about the gel in the mouth thing - The first time I heard about this was on a Radiolab podcast about a decade ago. They were talkign about the Race Across America (RAAM) and Slovenian cyclist Jure Robic. I think it's called the energy governor theory that basically states: your body wants to achieve balance, and at a certain point your body doesn't want to output any more energy until it has more coming in, Even if there is energy still in reserves that can be used. Even just having something sweet in your mouth or drinking a diet drink (which contains no calories) can trick your body into thinking it's receiving energy, and in turn releasing the energy on reserve. I didn't know this had become a practice in the pro peleton.

precisely - some people forget what a bad crash that was - it could've ended his career or worse. Plus he jumped from Juniors straight into Pro and missed out the under 23 sections - he's learning fast that's for sure - I can't wait to see how he stacks up in a 3 week tour.

[@alastairwood7277]

I think something worth focusing on from this stage or at least for me is the almost certain relegation of ISN. Lotto and Cofidis picked up more points than their total Giro tally in CDW. With Bevin and Hagen dropped they have lost a solid 100 odd points I reckon from what they desired from this race, and with no real sprinters these races they have to be taking 200+ points minimum. I think it would take a miracle now for ISN to survive tbh.

I know the watts are the watts but pushing this once or twice in a one week stage race is different to being able to push this multiple times throughout a 3 week grand tour. So im still not convinced that he will be able to be competitive over 3 weeks but lets wait and see. Would have loved to see him at the tour tbh.
