    1. Christian Preudhomme words on Remco's X-factor was that he is unpredictable and can stir things up. There was nothing in his statement that suggested he would win the tour. Like no other he can shine and do incredible Remco things without aming for GC. All the calculated dosage and strategies don't become him. Let him race every second stage like a day race, and he will gather astonishing results. That is his X-factor. He has everything to become a Valverde type rider. But I can't blame him to give it another shot with an ideal preparation.

    2. Time and experience will be Remco's friends. He must learn to take advantage of riding on a strong team and know his limitations, otherwise he will run out of energy, the Tour is a tough race.

    3. He does not stand a chance to win he is all hype. Why is he a favorite beats me. Even his boss Lefereve has said he cannot see him winning. He will not even crack the top 10

    4. He can win… but a Tour-focused Pogačar and especially Vingegaard are putting out w/kg numbers that Remco hasn’t hit yet in races. Vingegaard was holding 7.8w/kg on the uphills in that Stage 16 TT this year. Freakish—Tadej maxed at 7.1w/kg. We’ll see what Remco can do—he’s still very young and his body is still growing stronger.

    5. Great rider, but I don't think he can win the Tour. We'll see, but the repeated long climbs are what he'll have a hard time with. He'll need to lose some pounds, and Jonas won't. We know what he can do in race after race in the mountains. What about Primoz?

    6. remco said himself he is aiming for a top 5 finish which imo is a very realistic goal. theres no real evidence he can beat even roglic (assuming he doesnt crash) in a GT, let alone the two winning machines jonas and pog. still, remco has already very impressive palmares (b2b LBL, vuelta GC, world champion jerseys) and imo he doesnt even need to be a GT winning machine to be a great rider.
