Remco Evenepoel Tour de France 2024 Time Trial Favorite

[@masonherlihy717]

Appreciate all your hard work getting these interviews!

[@FloBikes]

Ahhh thanks

[@ronb9165]

jonas is such a humble champion... don't underestimate him a being low key guy... .. he just keep getting stronger every stage Yellow jersey is a possibility tomorrow

[@mracer8]

Everyone seem to say JV will just getting stronger every stage, but it can just as easy to say he will get more tired and less able to recover just like ever other tdf racer! if hard racing will make a racer stronger, they are should go for 3 grand tour instead of otherwise around!

[@alexanderishere1857]

Not tomorrow no. If he can avoid loosing more than seconds tomorrow he will be happy. He is just not in shape and hasn't even reconned the route. If he has any chance this tour it will be in the last few days of it.

[@drym3943]

​@@mracer8i don't get why people Say he will be stronger. There is an argument to be made that he will actually fade because of lack of training volume.

[@mracer8]

You think it is a possibility that JV can beat Pogi by over 50 second and Remco by 45 second on a 25.3km(16 miles) itt? wow!!

[@malencid]

Do you have any inside info on what kind of motor they'll be adding to his bike?

[@julen2380]

Man, Jonas and Visma are certainly playing it close to the chest this year. Cleverly so, of course. But I cannot shake the feeling that they are underselling it with both Jonas and Wout (shoutout to Wout for bringing his number to the kid in the background). Might also be wishful thinking on my part.

[@abdelmajidhassane9979]

Jonas is not in his top form yet(only 4 weeks to prepare), he'll definitely be at top in the crucial moments.

[@woutkoopman]

The way I see it, Jonas is still building up form, Pogacar with the Giro in his legs will go down in form. Week 3 will be the real judge of the TdF. Like Jonas said "our time will come"

[@gg05irgm]

Im not so sure about that, and im actually rooting for jv too. I think rather they are lacking the cards to play, so they are holding on for dear life and cannot execute the plan they wanted - mountains where jonas is strong will be so hard without sepp also. I think only jonas himself can pull through this, and he still isnt 100%. I also think that he will vastly underperform in time trials this year because of lack of huge preparations, another of his big strengths lacking support. We shall see, but at this point the odds look in favor of tadej, but time till tell how vingegaard turns out this year. This time trial will reveal a lot i think.

[@julen2380]

@@gg05irgm What do you think after the time trial yesterday? I was quite impressed with Jonas. However, it also revealed that Wout truly is not close to being his normal impressive form. Not surprising after his crash but a blow. And you are absolutely right about the high montains without Sepp. I hope Matteo's form also progresses through the weeks a bit so he can stay with Jonas a little longer. In any case, I'm absolutely with you: This is Tadej's Tour to lose and I don't expect him to majorly blow up in week 3. But I guess, we will see. :)

[@Lena-hk2ih]

Incredible guys- all of them. Super generations

[@lymarirodriguez3125]

Happy 4th Mateo! Hang in there you all look great on the course 🤩🚴‍♂️

[@williamknight7907]

Great work Jasper 😂😂😂

[@Boundless_05]

@@williamknight7907 he referred to the guy in white as Jasper

[@FloBikes]

correct

[@joekelly7088]

That is truly the worst cycling jersey I've seen in years..

[@Judewilkinsonjfk]

[@Tinman1479]

It is every country's July 4th

[@Karollenart]

Without much help in the mountains, this TdF will be a true test for Jonas. He will have to do it on his own. It will be interesting. UEA looks crazy strong in mountains. It will be hard to defeat them. Also, it is sad to me that Roglic also does not have much help in the mountains (where is Jay Hindley?). However, he is no longer at his best. He is now on the Ayuso/Landa/Almeida/Yates level... and he used to smoke them. I wish he could compete with Pog/Vinge

[@CoolGrey7Man]

Jonas replied "what's the July 4th?"

[@arnoldhau1]

Somehow seems to be hard for Americans to understand that almost noone cares or even nows about 4th of July in Europe.

[@guidodiamanti6374]

sarebbe bello che oggi REMCO vestisse il GIALLO !

[@zrmsraggot]

I wonder if pigi is going to change his bike midcourse this year trial

[@ericmuto5373]

Don’t be fooled, Jonas is ready for war😅

[@Ghost12561]

Remco can gain abit time here, he is going to lose alot of time in next stages with big climbs for sure.

[@systemicchaos3921]

If Jonas only loses ~20/30 seconds tomorrow it's not too bad. All of Jonas' stages are yet to come, I think he can take time stages 14,15 and definitely 19-21.

[@Pipe_JL]

You're dreaming. What happened last year does not apply this year. According to you, forever and ever, Tadej should have had a crisis in the 17th stage 😊.

[@dynamo6735]

@@Pipe_JL but also according to that logic Pogi can go 1-2mins down on GC and he will smash everyone on last TT just like he did in 2020 lol. Every year its different.

[@mracer8]

If Jonas is that much better then Pogi on the high mountain, then tdf is over and there is no point on GC racing!

[@peteravolio2695]

Seems like Pogi was nursing his wrist injury last year and came out swinging, only to blow up from a preparation deficit. Yet oddly, this year, all ive heard, "Jonas's only going to get stronger as the race goes." Maybe I'm missing something?

[@tatumboy]

Jonas looks so unhealthy

[@Darkbelovedcloud]

Hello

[@Mike-sx8ye]

UCI should ban "YEAH"

[@FloBikes]

yeah

[@biketerra7409]

Remco é muito forte.

[@SirDonaldJPump]

Damn Jonas looks like death. Rooting for Remco. Pog 2nd

[@JohnButler-iq8rl]

I see what you mean----wow!.

[@MNBKWORK]

bro it’s the lighting. everyone looks ridiculous with such unfavorable lighting.

[@JohnButler-iq8rl]

@@MNBKWORK yes fair observation that.

[@arnoldhau1]

He looks like that most of the time?

[@oscarcantu2642]

I think Remco has a real shot of taking the Yellow Jersey in tomorrow’s TT.

[@NeoSavesLives]

No way. He’ll win the stage yes, but Pogi keeps the yellow easily.

[@iansemroc8943]

Come back and roast me tomorrow if that does happen but I don’t see Remco taking 45 sec on pog in a 22km TT

[@stuartmitchell3236]

Neither do I. 15/20 seconds maybe

[@mickelkobeck7376]

Not long enough...Remco will win the TT, probably, but will NOT take that much time. POGI is a very good tt guy.....wouldn't surprise me if POGI were to win the tt....

[@cipher.u.justice]

that would be a really strong ride, the course is too short for big time gaps

[@Lfilpo]

Tomorrow Jonas it’s going to loose bad…. But hopefully mountains to come

[@dastolh]

Yeah! Because his TT last year was so bad!

[@iyyaka2925]

@@dastolh You can't compare these two TT..

[@iyyaka2925]

Yes no much power on his legs..he will lose 30sec-1min on tadej. But normal..

[@darcyhildebrand9286]

Why? He beat Tadej decisevly in TTs in the previous two Tours.

[@bullerkatten]

@@iyyaka2925 Last year Vingegaard was 1 min 30 sec faster than tadej on the time trial. What are you talking about???

[@LeeLee-fi7mx]

Remco 1st, Primoz 2nd, Jonas or Pog for 3rd or 4th place.

[@pablorafa7]

I see it as you.

[@MiguelCyc]

Primoz is behind I think...

[@autoselectricos-americalat9276]

If Remco or Jonas don't win the time trial tomorrow, the tour will be decided in just 1 week. Pogacar will win it for sure because his team is way stronger than the others.

[@hermonhazard5851]

Tadej the 🐐

[@respectjordan]

Jonas doesn't want it badly enough and he knows they don't stand a chance against UAE this year. Let's go Tadej!!!

[@WestCoastWilliam]

@elimernit7788 Yeah! That’s exactly why he chose to race. He knows he’s got no chance.

[@Nick2bad4u]

If he didn't want it he would have stayed home

[@respectjordan]

@@Nick2bad4u he doesn't have a choice, it's in his contract with visma

[@miajuul6985]

Also jonas wife is pregnant, so he can’t do the vuelta this year, therefore he might as well try the Tour even if he is not ready- and then hope for miracles!!

[@pierocus3261]

Thank you Jesper Vingegaard ahahahahhaahha

[@manueleliseo4273]

Vingegaard is so skinny man

[@outty84]

Americans thinking 04-07 (yes that how you write it properly) matters at all to anyone except Americans 😅🤣

[@RB-xv4si]

Yeah somehow every Tour, the best climbers suddenly start time trialing better than the best and most established TT specialists. Wonder how that happens.

[@tolstoyed]

because they finish the stages quicker

[@pal_lokomotivet2679]

Because the gc riders is among the best tt riders
