WORLD CHAMPION vs AMATEUR CYCLIST : Interval on the wheel of Remco Evenepoel 🚀

How often you have a chance to follow the wheel of #worldchampion 🌈 ? Let me guess - almost 0% chance. But during winter training camps its possible to meet Pro Riders and even ride with them for a few minutes if you have power in legs. Luckily I record almost all my rides on GoPro, so can share this video with you.

The cycling etiquete is to ask someone if you can follow his/her wheel. Good that you reacted after he asked you to stay away, but following someones wheel without even saying helo, agknowledging you are there is not a nice behaviour. BTW Thats some serious power you have there in those legs. Impressed!

[@TheReactor8]

True, but also asking to stand back after you tried (expected) and failed to drop someone on an interval isn’t nice either.

[@apollochimp]

Remco is a complete douche and this video is ample evidence of that. Get the hell off your high horse, thinking you own the road. Ivory castle syndrome.

[@EstebanGamboaDev]

drop I mean, make it fall.

[@mykolakovenko6172]

I was riding on his wheel during a long easy ride earlier this season, no issues from his side. Probably it's not an arrogance, just doing intervals with all the surges and slowing downs + having someone you don't trust on your wheel? Honestly, most people would have done the same.

it's funny to read about zone 2 for Remko and 5 for Artem, they have a difference of about 1-1.2 wkg, Artem is a strong amateur cyclist and recently was the winner of the Turkish mountain race, his heart rate of 180 is a normal working zone which helps him sit on the wheel while Remko it works, Artem also has an FTP of 5 WKg, which is a lot for an amateur and which 99% of the commentators here don’t have, it’s just ridiculous to read from you about watts and heart rate zones)))

[@Jan-se1nd]

What makes you think this is ok? The pros really, really hate when you do this and they hate how it makes them look arrogant when they have to tell you to stop for your and their safety. On the surface it's all innocent enough, but it doesn't take that much before it becomes dangerous -- a misjudged turn or sway here or there and it's goodbye classics, Worlds, Vuelta and everything else in that season. I remember a podcast by Brian Holm where talks about these guys and how they wait outside the riders' hotels when they're on training camps. They'll ride along in the back for the experience, but they have nowhere near the needed bike handling skills and that often puts themsleves and the pros at risk.

[@nl_kripp]

This comment should be automatically pasted as a reply under every comment saying "oh how arrogant".

Impressive! Well done for respecting his request to stay back. He must have enough people following him around all the time.

Exactly cut Remco some slack here. If he feels unsafe with someone on his weel, he has every right to ask for some space. Not sure that what he did was rude, It’s hard to be polite at 350W++.

Well done for straight away honouring his gesture and dropping back (also for not sitting too close on his wheel in the first place). Remco's loss now: he had a great PR opportunity here. He could have very gradually increased his power, whilst encouraging you to hold on till you dropped. Guess he had some very precise numbers to hit and wanted to focus.

[@soulripper31]

I don't think Remco cares for the credits he would get for dropping an amateur rider lol. He was probably just sticking to his training plan.

[@Terrak16]

I see some comments criticizing Remco here, but he has his reasons. Having a stranger right on your back wheel can sometimes feel equivalent to a tailgater that’s on your rear bumper when your driving. It’s a little unnerving and tests your patience. The amateur rider certainly shows his fitness here and didn’t do anything wrong, but I don’t feel Remco did anything wrong either.

Acting entitled just because your world champ isn’t how to gain fans. No harm coming from someone trying to stay on the wheel.
