Acliff in reply to @andyp

That’s a fair point, though judging by the opposition at the races, not just how prestigious the races are confirms that he is a rare talent (stating the obvious)

It will be really interesting to see how he gets on at the Giro. I think I’d like to see him get a bit of a kicking by the likes of Nibali. Remco is probably a good shout for the first pink jersey though...

Yes he might well hold on to the pink for a good while.

The bookies have got him down as favourite for the Giro. I've got my reservations as he's never ridden any stage races which were longer than a week. But then again, it's Remco...

He might be held back potentially by the team? DQ are full of amazing riders, but perhaps not the top flight mountain support that Jumbo and Ineos have at their disposal.

Remco winning the Giro in his second pro season, having never raced over three weeks would be the stuff on dynasties.

@Acliff is right - even if he has the legs, who is bringing the bottles 5km from the top of a climb? Nobody.
