  I think Remco is trying to win where he can. He needed this race for his climbing preparations. Jonas should win tomorrow, finishes over 2,000 meters.

  Someone really really needs to take this lad aside and break down his ego a little bit. I can see why riders benefit from going through the juniors to learn this kind of stuff - I think he's been so feted by the Belgian media and over-hyped that he's taking on all that pressure to perform as well as a sort of underlying prima donna expectation of respect and deference. The worst of both worlds. But you're completely right, he races every stage like it's a one-day race. Then he's cooked by the high mountains in a GT.

  That really sucks for Remco going into the high mountains. He needed this race for his climbing preparation more than he needed to win it, although it's always good for him and his team to have a victory. Hopefully he'll have a good day tomorrow. Finishing over 2,000 meters on stage 4, that's Jonas territory, he should stamp his name on this race tomorrow.

  What I don’t understand is, there are several major climbing stages coming up and there’s a pattern here where burns his matches for these climbing stages, and then falls apart on the climbs when it matters the most. It’s like he races like he’s a classic’s rider but wants everybody to treat him like he’s a GC rider. I wonder if Chris Horner will give him a good youtube lashing for all of this. I will say this though, it makes him fun to watch

  Why would Jonas work for Remco? It served no purpose during the stage. In fact, Remco dropping HIS WHOLE REDBULL TRAIN served no purpose. What was Remco thinking?! Also, Remco's team was doing a lot of blocking duties and sandbagging to try to slow down the chase group but you're not going to mention that of course, because that would be contrary to your insistence that Remco and his team were playing fair...

  Fascinating to hear that a Roubaix podium wouldn’t have used a power meter until 2015. It’s small facts like that which highlight how data driven and robotic it has become for riders. A small fact that reveals so much about marginal gains and the crazy professionalism of the peloton. So very much has changed since Sagan was supreme.

  It’s a bike race, there are tactics. One of them is not pulling a turn when you want to have the advantage. Risking being caught by the chasing group in order to win. One of Remco’s biggest flaws for me is his inability to accept race tactics like this. Instead of focusing on what he needs to do, he loses his rag, starts waving his arms around, getting distracted and furious and yeah, rides into a pothole cuz he’s stewing on the “injustice” of basic racecraft. Jonas was 100% justified in sitting on the wheel. I do not understand why people get so bent out of shape about it. He’s trying to win. But he’s also one of the most sportsmanly riders around. Never forget him waiting for Tadej, the handshake, so he could whup him on the climb fair and square.

  Do you even ride a bike much less have raced? Or do your parents still have training wheels on your trike? Tone down your crappy comments!

  Do you ever just write a normal comment without attacking ? Your act is really childish!
• frieders326-03-2026
  He was marking a rival ! And Remco is much stronger on the flats so why not based on tactics!
