- It's hard for people to accept that WVA isn't in the hunt for monuments and is just a superdomestique. Getting outsprinted by Powless should have removed everyone's illusions.
- What you're saying is BS. Capish?
- As far as I'm convinced, Remco still has "zero" wins. I don't care what Zak Dempster says. I invite Remco to stop in Siena to meet his Slovenian master, Pogi the G.O.A.T... but no, it's better to run away and hide. His fans will somehow defend and glorify him. Let it be known, he still has zero wins in 2026. If someone doesn't have a high enough IQ to understand what I'm talking about, it's because they don't recognize the low ranking F category races. Ad acta.
- He wants more money, he got good offer, Visma could not match it, he left

You in particular should see "In den tijd van Roger de Vlaeminck", the meme which started due Roger's extensive bashing of modern riders for the past two decades. It sounds better in Dutch to me, but even better with illustrations.
‘In den tijd van Roger de Vlaeminck’
Back in Roger de Vlaeminck's day, things were great. Cyclists rode up mountains backwards, in the wrong gear, because forward was for cowards. Domestiques didn’t exist, and if you needed help, you simply weren’t strong enough to be there. These days riders sit in the wheels and cry because their teammate didn’t look at them nicely. They could ride Paris-Roubaix with frozen feet in -10 ºC through snow and hail, with no gloves, and with mud up to their knees, and didn't even need to hold their handlebars. Handlebars were optional and balance was genetic. With these little fellas there's drama at 5 ºC and they stop when there's rain or God forbid when there's just a little bit of wind. Back then the winds could be 500 miles per hour and they'd ride sitting upright, chatting, whistling and smoking. Now there's 'crosswinds' and suddenly there's only four riders left. They could ride with broken ribs, punctured lungs, fractured arms, shattered legs and even snapped necks. Sometimes the snapped neck was from the previous race. These lot abandon races with mere bruises - back then, if you crashed you just got right back up and blood on the legs was normal. They'd barely ever crash because they knew how to ride their bikes, unlike these new lot who get taken out by potholes or even when putting on their own jackets. They would ride 400 kilometres a day and 5 classics a week and never get tired, and their rest days just meant riding slower - look at these ‘professional’ cyclists, they're exhausted after 200 kilometres. Back then, Milano-Sanremo was just a normal training ride and now the riders are absolutely finished by the end of it. And even through all that, when Roger de Vlaeminck was racing, they'd never get punctures because they were just better. These modern riders are taken out of contention by the smallest of pebble fragments, which just shows how weak they are. They didn't have brakes, which was considered cheating and power meters were witchcraft, while data was for accountants, and that was because they were just so good, but now the riders always have to check their data first… so rubbish. Back then they rode without gears, which were sacrilegeous, and their tyres were made of stone - if your bike broke, you fixed it with a hammer. If the hammer broke, you became the hammer. They carried stones in their pockets to make it harder, and they even carried spectators on their backs up mountains. These losers need their teammates to carry their bidons for them and they throw them away like toddlers in a tantrum. And despite doing all that, they ran on gin and beer, their food was bacon sandwiches, recovery was another beer and they didn't even know what a dietitian was, unlike these weaklings who always have to weigh their food first and see how many calories it has. Roger and the rest of them were never afraid to take their medicine. Medicine was just medicine. Very strong medicine. These lot are so scared of getting caught and are always so foolishly loyal to ‘clean sport’. Sometimes they even rode without a bike and won with one leg, and at night they slept in ditches. Those were real men, and unlike now, no-one complained on Twitter or Instagram. No-one needed a sports psychologist then, and you solved all your problems on the bike. So when you hear anyone say that Tadej Pogačar and Remco Evenepoel are as good as Eddy Merckx and Roger de Vlaeminck, know that, as good ol’ Roger said, they're ‘not even fit to land Eddy's shoes’. And on that matter, the cyclists now are so miserable that they don't even have laces. Back in Roger de Vlaeminck's day, everything was better.- Ah, who's doing the avoiding now? Seems like Tadej and Jonas are a bit scared of Remco. Tadej even said that it's scary that Remco could get even better.
- he also had that TDF the year when he rode the giro first (very aggressively) and he was just useless in france, completely depleted. and he’s been sick for some major dates, like at last year’s Flanders.

- looking at their current lack of results, to me the rider their missing the most is the injured Tim Merlier
- During a long career: not having frequent crashes, not taking unnecessary risks (stage 16, La Vuelta), "knowing" to crash minimizing injuries, isn't luck, it's intelligence and being very skilled at riding a bicycle. MVDP is better, that's all. Van Aert is more versatile.
