Pro-cycling thread

It's hard to think of someone who could be any more genetically suited to cycling though.

5 inches shorter might benefit his Cda for road racing, but otherwise agree.

Laura & Jason Kenny’s kid and Lizzie & Phil Deignan’s kid might be genetic monsters maybe.

From what I remember mitochondria disposition is passed down from the female side so both those kids got real lucky.

True, but plenty of potentially good stuff in the DNA too. Of course regression to mean would suggest the kids won't be as exceptional as their parents.

Yeah he's a top bloke and stronger than ever. Lost 4kg in the past 6 months to go for gold in the olympics

yeah, but any race with Jan Wilhelm Van Schipp in worth a watch. Totally my latest man crush.

Interesting choice of drops as well. Looks pretty aero compared to regular bars?

He's still the only rider with those bars, which he took from the track (it's caused a sponsor conflict as well I believe), but the lever position is getting more in fashion with other riders, including the Remco.

Seems that you gave me an excuse to post this again

wahoo angle is a bit sad

Front shot for full effect please!

He's all about finding (marginal?) aero gains to compensate for his non-aero tall figure, also see the 'wrists turned in' position when he's riding track.

All Dutch speaking forumengers should check out the post-race interviews, JW van Schip is smart, fast talking and hilarious

Conspiracy theories at the ready;

"festinaboy" sounds like a fun user with totally no bias

Je ne parle pas Français

No need to, the video says it's all.

@andyp Is there any journalist written articles about it? Would be interesting to get someone's professional view on it

He was a DS at Festina during their doping heyday.

An upstanding and respectable citizen then

hopefully the only thing that standing between my child and a mid pack cat 3/4 finish is hard work

the DS is clearly just pickpocketing remco's list of fantasy premier league picks

he's animated !

They should also listen to his podcast :)

Thing is. Even if it was true, what rocket fuel does Remco have that can make him ride like that based on something he takes DURING the race.

Don’t know if you’ve seen project power on Netflix. Maybe it’s one of those pills eh?

Its clearly a packet of sherbert dip dabs, the most concentrated form of sugar known to mankind

I’ve been watching the recent Italian races on Rai (usually Rai2 rather than RaiSport) in the way you mention. No sign up necessary, unless you want to watch their on-demand replays.

dank je! wist ik nog niet
