This week on the GCN Show, we dive into Remco Evenepoel’s staggering 425-watt FTP and discuss why durability might be the missing piece of the puzzle for him to beat Pogačar and Vingegaard in Grand Tours. Plus, we catch up on Lael Wilcox’s round-the-world record attempt, discuss Zwift’s ambitious new junior talent program, and take a look at Chris Froome’s new aqua bike career…

Do you think Remco Evenepoel can improve his durability and fatigue resistance enough to beat Pogačar and Vingegaard at the Tour de France, or is it mostly down to genetics? 👇

Do you think Remco Evenepoel can improve his durability and fatigue resistance enough to beat Pogačar and Vingegaard at the Tour de France, or is it mostly down to genetics? 👇 Link for Gtechniq competition: https://gcn.eu/GCNGtechniqCompetition
That Garmin style mount hack is a nice one! I had the same woes on my recumbent trike, with the lights mounted to my fenders… but I've developed my own hack for those just last week… although I'm not sure whether I want to share it, because you lot seem to be ignoring me. Us trikers deserve love too!!!
I think Dan is on to something about his mental strength…. I would agree!!
Why on earth are we only seeing half of Dan’s face????
souplesse is French for suppleness, flexibility, fluidity
When I started riding last year I used the clips on my old mtn bike then when I bought a gravel bike I just moved the clips to that. I like the way they work for me. I will see if the video changes my mind
Caption Competition: "Almost forgot to end with a bang"
Thanks for mentioning the Parks and Trails New York study. PTNY is a not for profit trails advocacy organization and not an agency of the state. They do great work!
I would still like to see GCN tackle the “Peaks Challenge” here in the Victorian High Country.
While you’re here you could also have a crack at Melbourne’s infamous “Hell Ride!”
They’ll both check your durability!
Caption competition – "What do you think you're doing man?! That's an Orbea Aero, not a Canyon Inflite!"
Yes Si, I was still there at the end, as always. Having my post breakfast coffee (live in Japan) before heading out to ride. Life as a pensioner is good!
Ramco is overrated
He is not winning cause he is a cry baby.
"I'm not crashing folks, I'm kissing the finish'n line!" A new way of celebrating winning.
Is there a difference between endurance and durability?
To be blunt, Evenepoel is decidedly not a tactical genius. Nor, generally, is his team, RBH.
Remco's ego must be a huge drain on his own fatigue resistance.
Caption Competition: Hardcore Parkour!
Caption competition: Liam must be head over heels for his first win 😂
Still here , at least 20 😉
Caption Competition: I dont often win a bike race, but when I do…
Caption competition: Liam Slock always knew his finish line celebration would be a smash hit.
lemro loserpool wont be in top3, probably withdraw in the midle of tour like he always did and this trash in most payed cyclist on paper, shame
Caption: the best winners manage to stay grounded even in victory
Remco needs those watts in his brain 😂
425 at 64 kilos isn’t really enough to compete with peak tadej and Jonas climbing like 6.6 w/kg is nothing compared to tadej’s 7.2 for 40. It’s just not surprising that even apple can’t keep up with them up the mountain stages.
I suffer on the short hard races…and I suffer on the long endurance races. Still looking for my wheelhouse!
Caption competition; I tryed a headroll first, but this worked better!
I always stay to the end! lol 😂
Caption comp: Captain Kirk to Slock – Engage warp drive.
Ok Si I know you have just been to Western Australia but are you now trying to grow a mullet.
Rob from WA
Lack of durability, this is why Remco has these off-days. Accumulation of fatigue in grand tours. That is why he would be amazing as a stage hunter. He could have every second day an easy day in the wheels. Like what he did in his second Vuelta after his offday.
