We don't have too long left for the next bit of international cycling. As the Belgian's reveal their lineup for the upcoming 2024 European Championships however, the recently crowned double Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel is notably absent.
In the time trial world champion's absence, the Belgian's have turned to Team Visma | Lease a Bike's newest signing Victor Campenaerts, and Evenepoel's Soudal - Quick-Step teammate, Yves Lampaert in the fight to succeed Joshua Tarling as the European champion against the clock.
In the road race meanwhile, Belgium have gone for a formidable sprint orientated team including the incredibly fast quartet of Tim Merlier, Jasper Philipsen, Jordi Meeus and Wout van Aert, with support coming from the likes of Tim Declerq, Laurenz Rex, Jonas Rickaert and Bert van Lerberghe.
Should any late injuries or illness befall any of the aforementioned roster, the Belgian's have also announced their reserve riders for the 2024 European Championships, those being Jenno Berckmoes, Edward Theuns and Julien Vermote respectively.

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024

- Agreed except the length of climbs, pretty sure you can stretch that to about a km unless we’re talking about half a dozen in quick succession.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- A bit much to suggest that Pogacar is better than MvdP on most terrains. The only terrain Pogacar is clearly better is long climbs, on any other terrain they are pretty even except flat cobbles and short and steep climbs (max a few 100 mtrs) where MvdP is clearly better than Pogacar.Velovibes21-12-2024
- The likelihood of RE improving enough at this point to outclass TP or JV is less than zero.verve82521-12-2024
- That’s the most stupid thing I’ve read for a long time, did you not go to school and learn even the most basic physics? Aero depends on one thing only, drag, drag depends speed and the relationship is squared and apart from maybe at zero or the speed of sound or due to side winds that relationship is valid at all speeds, it dies not “suddenly” start at a magic number. Very simply, the faster you go the more the effect becomes important. If you think 25km/h is needed to have noticeable effects you’re delusional, athletic WR are cancelled as soon as winds top 2m/s that’s 7.2km/h, why because the assistance is already too important at that speed and the times prove it. You don’t even consider wind which can significantly increase the effective speed for aerodynamics and you underestimate speed of climbs, 6% is ridden more at 30 than 25km/h, a speed at which early generation high rims were considered to have more advantages than disadvantages. And finally, as in normal races you can’t just switch bikes according to terrain, it’s pretty pointless to discuss climbs as a separate situation, the aero will have justified itself plenty during the rest of the ride.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- If you look at how much TP progressed in that 1 1/2 years you can no longer say that’s nothing. If Remco improves as much he’s a challenger!Mistermaumau21-12-2024
