  1. Maybe Vye can partner with Checkers Sixty60 and bring out a toothpaste jersey?
  2. To all the Remco-dislikers (like myself) I suggest go and listen\watch the Lanterne Rouge podcast with him. I think your opinions of him might change a bit. The only thing I now dislike about Remco is his taste in music. But I can forgive him for that.
  3. Tour of Poland crash? That was Fabio Jakobsen wasn't it? You referring to Remco's Il Lombardia crash?
  4. Thanks! Remco has shown he won't be able to hold Jonas' wheel up a Tourmalet or Alpe d'Huez or any HC climb for that matter in next years Tour. Remco has some work to do before Le Tour '24. At least Quickstep is busy building a Grand Tour team for Remco, so that will help as well.
  5. Hannah Walker is the one! Thanks Koos. Will be switching over to GCN for the Grand Tours for now.
  6. When it comes to Remco, the media, commentators and even fans create this 'over-hype-ness'. You just had to listen to Hannah Walker (President of the Remco Evenepoel Fan Club) commentate on the Angliru climb about Remco just for Little Man to go backwards faster than an elephant fart. Yes he most probably already achieved what he wanted to, getting the KOM points, and then just eased up on Angliru to focus on yesterdays stage. But boy that lady doesn't run out of compliments. He is good, no, he is one of the best in the world, but it doesn't mean I have to like him. Will now go watch the LR interview and see if Little Man can sway my opinion.
  7. You know whose fault ALL this is??? REMCO EVENEPOEL If this little man lived up to the hype and did what he said he was going to do, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
  8. World Champion Armchair Theory coming in.... Jonas want and will let GC Kuss win ONLY if Primoz doesn't go for the win. If Primoz goes for the win, Jonas will be on Primoz like khuk op 'n wolkombers.
  9. I didn't know handing out Grand Tours on a silver platter is now a thing. When did we get to the point where fans now expect riders to just give away a GT? A whole GT, not just a stage, a GT! Is this part of the everybody-is-a-winner-and-gets-a-medal movement? I still hope GC Kuss can win La Vuelta but if one of the other two wins, so be it. I'll still be happy for the team.
  10. Some perspective on Altu de L'Angliru (12.3km/1261m) today with regards to some other climbs: Hautacam 16.3km 1209m Col du Tourmalet 18.9km 1403m Alpe d'Huez 13.9km 1118m Passo dello Stelvio 20.8km 1532m Col du Galibier 17.5km 1213m As stated by La Vuelta this is a 'Special Category' or like the French say 'Hors catégorie (HC)' climb. This is right up Jonas' alley or is that mountain? I hope GC Kuss can do something special today. Don't see Primoz disappearing up this climb, eh.
  11. I've had the Wahoo Kickr Snap 2 for more than 5 years with thousands of miles on and mine doesn't even look remotely like that! Do you clean\wipe your tyre of any excessive dirt after an outride? Looking at that "chip" marks something is eating that roller for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That is definitely not normal wear. Even running a mountain bike tyre shouldn't do that to the roller. I ran a mtb tyre for about 10 months and only saw speckles of rubber on the roller. No chipping of the roller surface.
