Only if something happens to Pog and Jonas like 2014 Nibali win against Froome and Contador
No chance quickstep may as well work for merlier
NO
Remco can win GC especially if Jonas is too nice to beat his own domestique
0,0% chance, I doubt he will win any tour ever again.
Negative Ghost Rider. The podium is full.
No-one can win any grand tour if they are not in it. And if you are in it, any GC contender can win it, depending on incidents and accidents for the other riders.
Landa Landa???? What?!
If you repeat the broadcast, may I repeat my comment? Remco will be even stronger in 2024 due to acquired GT experience and another 15-20km in his young legs.

Doubt Remco can compete at the TDF level for 3 weeks without yipping…and Jonas and Pog will be hard for anyone to beat IMHO.
Everything is possible. Michael Mørkøv and Fabio Jakobsen could win the Tour. It is just extremely unlikely and everything has to go horrendously wrong for the entire peloton and go perfect for them.
The same for Remco although the possibility is a lot bigger for him. But baring major accidents, illness and bad luck to the major contenders like Vingo, Pogi, Roglic, Yates, Hindley and a couple more, he won't win the Tour.
There’s no way.
Hmmm… let me think about this for a sec.. NO!
A few months ago, there was an interesting article in the New York Times about how the more variables in a system, the more unpredictable the results. Such as with a model with 2 factors, the results are fairly predictable, but with 3, things get very wonky. So with 4 realistic GC contenders, I’m suspecting that not the best rider will win, but it’s impossible to predict
no. Next question
The real determining factor is how good Vanmol's form is in the off season and 2024. He means everything to Remco and the QuickStep boys.
He rides too inconsistently and seems to embrace that riding style, so no, not a GC contender for the Tour. Will take many stages for sure but will ride in the gruppetto in others.
Where-ever he starts, ANY race he's riding will be an exciting race. TDF 2024 is "incontournable" (a must) though, LBL almost certain. TDF he is able to win, because you never know what"s going to happen,
No, but who cares? Win a stage or two, get involved, race hard Remco. But do consider doing what Chris Horner was talking about at the Vuelta once he was out of it on GC, ride with the top guys, see what they do and how they do it. Then reset for the '25, 26 Tours, and get some fresh blood in that know about racing 3 week Tours.
Agree, Remco Giro just makes sense. Van Wilder should go for KOM jersey at TDF, Landa can top 10 and Merlier should get his wish to sprint on the big stage.
If Jonas is there, no chance!
Realistically he’s the 4th fav, pogs, Jonas, and Primos are top 3
He has not that kind of body and muscles for GC. He is a Van Aert kind of rider.
Remco should only do the Tour. You want him to do all the Ardennes classics and the Giro and the Tour and then also the Olympics and Worlds?! Sounds like a very bad idea.
Landa has not been contracted as a leader in any grand tour at QuickStep. Van Wilder will want his change also at some point.
I think Benji is very realistic when it comes to Remco's Tour expectations. Yes, very 'no shit Sherlock'! 🙂Remco needs a mental coach big time!
Ok. So the first week Tour de France lottery is Lanterne's argument as to why Remco will be on the Tour podium?! Seriously?
I think it is very possible remco could win the Giro or Vuelta multiple times during his career. But he will probably need pog and Jonas to drop out of a tour to ever win. Not to mention the next generation coming up.
No
