The SCARY TRUTH About Remco Evenepoel Everyone Has FORGOTTEN

[@SDFerke]

Stop compairing with someone of the past that is incomparable due to not only the cycling equipment but also a whole other level of mental and nutrition mind wich wasnt present during the Merckx era. It isnt fair towords anyone if we all keep compairing with someone of the past with the present, compair the present with the recent present and not with a gap of 40+ years

[@yvesgysel9834]

Thank God, we have the same opinion. I agree with everything you mentioned. Totally different eras. People just love to compare, while luckily some of us understand, you can not compare. Time gap between "Eddy" and "Remco" more than 40 years. Cycling evolved enormously since then. Good post.

[@yvesgysel9834]

You can not compare these eras. Cycling has become way more professional. As a Belgian, I do not compare Eddy Merx with Remco Evenepoel. Different eras, like I said. Remco is just the most talented rider we had in years, no doubt. Till now, his palmarès is outstanding in this era. In the era of Eddy Merx all riders rode basically all race's. This era not. Riders choose their races and work/train accordingly. You just can not compare.

[@yvesgysel9834]

​​​I know what you are getting at, but Eddy Merx, that's more than 40 years​ ago. Like you said better nutrition, science, bikes, personal condition trainer and so on...More Money involved nowadays. So it's not fear to compare. I agree with you that riders are better nowadays, but it's just completely different. You can only speculate, like you said. What if the young "Eddy Merx" would ride today??? Maybe he would do more w/per kg??? Do not forget, in the era of "Eddy" the contracts of (even topriders)were peanuts, compared to the contracts nowadays. So that's why price money of races were much more important. Listen Eddy Merx was simply the best rider in his era. I red some books and his competitors, knew when "Eddy" goes, there's nothing we can do about it. He rides at least 5 kilometers pro/hour faster than us. (Famous qoute) Hence, he's nickname "The Cannibal", riding everything and winning everything. Monuments, GC'S... That was a different era, orher riders also rode everything. So he became "the goat of cycling" Like Michael Jordan in the NBA. Than people start to compare any future exeptional rider with "The Goat", which is wrong in my opinion. @dpcater

Great content from your channel as always!

I appreciate seeing an interview, I think from the Olympics, wehre Remco slapped down comparisons to Merckx.

[@fautqucabele2070]

No scary truth here, just a clickbait title

[@BiniamGourmet]

It''s bizarre when people try to compare Remco to Merckx when Pogacar exists. Merckx was the greatest of his era and possible the GOAT, so why are you looking to the guy who is second (or maybe third) best of the current era to draw your comparison lol. I don't know if you heard but there's a guy who just won Giro-Tour-WC in a single season... maybe that's a little closer to Merckx

[@BenjaminUbayyed-po9tc]

i dont even think pogacar will match eddy. eddy raced so much and won so many monuments. i don't see remko winning roubaix or san remo or lambardia

[@reflectionsdetail]

That photo with Eddy.........Eddy looks like Christopher Walken with a few Kgs

[@thecyclingdane]

Hahahahaha true lol

[@sgroadie6367]

He was not the first to do the Olympic double. He is the first man to do that. Look up Sydney Olympic for the first person to do it.

[@irockuroll60]

Yes cause French fries are Belgian.

[@michaelbergfeld8751]

Seeing the foto i thought there was a suspicion of Remco being offspring of Merckx, their faces are almost the same... Nevertheless, i'm for an extension of the term 《cannibal》: the way he and Pogačar win merits this expression! I don't think he will be capable of winning 5 Tours

The Cycling Dane has been a Remco doubter. It has been fun, it is now time to own it. You can also own driving the Girmay bandwagon from day #1.

[@nusaindahorganikedukasi]

In ascent, Remco is not as good as Pogacar or Vingeegard...in TT flat route he is a monster, but TT not flat (ascent and flat route), he is not good enough compare with Pogacar and Vingeegard..😊😊😂

@@simoncbr900rr the context is obviously men so there is simply no need to specify the male qualifier, and even less need for you to smugly point it out … in any event there is simply no comparison between men and women in this field of endeavour .. and no it’s not just the obvious physical difference .. for a variety of reasons this field of endeavour is far more competitive for men than women, meaning that the achievement of a man in winning both is so much greater that it unfairly demeans him to add the male qualifier …

Cycling Dane, get your bloody facts correct! They are NOT monuments they are classics! There are more than 5, Milan SanRemo, Ghent Wevelghem, Tour of Flanders, Paris Roubaix, Liege Bastogne Liege, Paris Tours, Tour of Lombardy, the now defunct Bordeaux Paris. Only ONE rider has won all 7 , (Bordeaux Paris not being counted), That is The Emperor, Rik VanLooy. Merckx in fact has won 6 of the 7 CLASSICS. He never won Paris Tours, although he did race it. Facts boy, facts!

Ahhh, for all you young ones and hopefuls, sorry to burst your bubble, but absolutely NO ONE, NO racing cyclist can or will ever earn the title Le Cannibale, that is solely Eddy! Only Eddy was so hungry he won ALL Guernseys in the same Le Tour, Won big bunch sprints, dropped everyone on the flat, uphill, downhill. But Eddy used to race local criteriums to bring in more money for the local riders, he was aware of their struggles! Nope, what everyone forgets is that for most of his career Eddy raced with an injured back, making his feats even more stupendous. So sorry, but NO, not Remco, not Sagan, certainly not Vinegar, not even Pog, (who obviously has read Eddy's book), will ever reach the heights to be labelled Cannibale!

I agree, once in a while you have these freaks of nature that invoke all of the desillusioned ones - due to evident doping - to doubt the dedication of just about everyone who rides a pofessional peleton. I take my hat of to the last one who finishes a TdF. For you from the US, Unbound is a a thing you do on a Sunday afternoon for professional World Tour riders ... Sorry to burst your bubble.
