Check out this article with Remco's estimated watts | lanternerouge.com.au/2022/08/28/remco-evenepoel-makes-huge-gaps-and-breaks-les-praeres-record-vuelta-a-espana-stage-9/

We all knew Evenepoel was a great contender for winning the Vuelta but it still puts a smile on my face seeing him ride this well😃

Missed opportunity to call Mas, Ayuso and Rodriguez the three amigos!

Your video quality, pronounciation of names, detailed review of the stages... is soooo on point!! Keep it up! Right now you are my only source of stage highlights and i don't want to change that!

Congratulations Louis Meintjes, your interveiw straight after your win was of a humble man. Well done on your goal of finishing on the podium in a world tour race/event before retiring...even better, as a winner of one of this year's world tour's toughest stage wins. What a Stage, and what a win.

I had to doubletake during Meintjes’ post-race interview when he mentioned this as his first WT win. He’d been in the mix so many times over the years I was shocked that he’d never actually won before.

who else waited for the remco eeeeevenpoool! LR does it the best 🔥

Absolutely insane how steep some of the sections were on that final climb. To see those guys going that slow, geez.

Imagine if Bernal comes back to his best, and we see the battle of Pogacar-Vingegaard-Evenepoul-Bernal at the TDF🤪🙌🏻

Congrats Louis, I am happy for you, getting a career highlight today. Cheers.

Thanks Pat for this excellent overview. On the issue of Roglic its clear he is not at the level has has been at in the past and IMO I don't think he has recovered fully from the back injury sustained on stage 6 of the TDF. If you watch him when he is off the bike - he is stiff with a slightly hunched posture.

We need Rrrremco Eeeeevvvvnnnnppoll merch

I've had Remcooooo Eeeeeevenpoeel in my head all day, I'm now satisfied... until tomorrow

Great tactics by Meintjes, going for the breakaway win the day before a rest day. The breakwaway tactic works so much better for him than the follow-the-GC leaders tactic. First Alpe D'Huez, now this, fantastic! Loving this new aggressive riding from him! An epic stage win like this is long overdue, he fully deserves it. From a proud South African 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

need that RRREEEMCCCCOOO EEEEVVVANNNAPOOOL as my ringtone asap

Fantastic commentary, as usual. You're Awesome, Mate!

AGAIN - the best commentary anywhere by anyone.... Thanks!!

I look forward to these videos everyday.

Really happy for Meintjes and Intermarche. He has been so close this year. Good for the team to get a win. Best ever time to be a cycling fan!

Roglic was missing powerhouse Wout van Aert to bring him back every time ;-)

Awesome for Meintjes. He has always been there or there abouts. His small size was a huge advantage up the steep stuff. I think I have eaten sandwiches bigger than him...

Am I the only one that says RRRREEEEEMCO EEEEVENEPOEL with Lanterne? lol

"The Chosen One" lol

That French rider Gugliemini seems quite talented

Came for the rrrrremmcoooo eeeeevenepoel

Thermonuclear pronunciation of Remco, keep it up.

I know I am watching the right Channel, after seeing this beginning

From all South Africans 🇿🇦 - you are a legend Louis and super trots my ou!!!

Ayuso riding well for team The Chosen One lol

I really wonder if Remco will crack this vuelta as he never finished a grand tour yet. If he doesn't, this vuelta is over. If he does, it will be very very interesting if Roglic can get some time in the ITT on all the other gc contenders

I'm gutted with Sepp Kuss abandoning the race I think it's going to be very hard for Roglic. Up the Jumbo Visma boys 🌕🌑🌕

Yep, you will have a bad time, unless your name is Louis Meintjes or Remco Evenepoel, LOL!

say it LR, do the funny

its true every time. if Rogla is 100% he will be in the top 5 riders starting a climb. if he is further back he isnt feeling good and will crack later.

Thanks for the good work and timely highlights. On a side note, all english speakers seem to be pronouncing Meintjes into Mein Keys while it is really "Main Chess". Cheers Mate :)

Evenepoel is part of the new wave of youngsters who are not afraid to attack and to have someone in their wheel; raiders like Simon Yates would have slowed down as soon as realized someone was behind them, but luckily wind is changing...

Well done and stage 9 , nice analysis 👆👆🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️👏

I guess I'm a Remco fan now

2:50 "belgian seam" hahahaha very accurate

yates at 2018 giro was looking incredibly dominant and then blew up. if a team - uae or ineos stand the best chance - can put remco into the red late in the race, it could blow things wide open still also seems possible for someone to do a ben o'connor tdf '21, win from the break and move way up on gc. maybe even ben o'connor himself, tho gino mader seems to be sitting at the perfect spot for that

Do you think Ineos will now ride like a team for Rodriguez for a podium chance??????

crazy wall today!!

6:38 is Mas and Van Baarle, not Rodriguez (who has national championship jersey) :)

Way to go Meintjes!!

Remco never got out of the saddle, even on the sections >20%. There's no reason to think he can't handle steep climbs when he's looking as lean as he looks right now. I'd say the only question left is his consistency.

'Say it Bart!' 'watch out, radioactive man' 'YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY He SAID IT'

Nice vids.❤❤❤

SAYY THE LIIINE LANTERNE!!!

Im a couple days late but all i have to say is Remcooo EEEEEEVENEPOELLL

Bicycle

Evenepoel, Mas, Roglic still have a good shot at winning. It will come down to the big climbs.

Louis Meintjies you biscuit.... Yster

Why does marking vine prevent him from going to the break? Shouldn’t he just keep going and eventually the whole break will be caught or he would be able to make it into the break

What happen on roglics

In the keyboard cycling commentary realm, LR has a super 'aero' advantage. He comments with Sunglasses . . . indoors!

Chris Horner hat vorher gesagt Remco ist der Favorit,er muss nur beweisen,das er 3Wochen durchhält,dann ist er der. neue Superstar.

Jay Vine didn't make the break but where was he in the gc group? Did he just not push hard since the win wasn't in play?

I would be glad if I'll be proven wrong that Remco can't win this Vuelta.

Another video with Meintjes mentioned .. there is no K, it's Mein T jes, you are saying the Mein part great, however than there should be a 'T' as in Tank, and then the 'jes' as in JUStice

Yaaay Louis Meintjes! Yaaay! 👊🥳🤩

I think Belgium has some of the best cyclists in the world. Wout van Aert , Remco evenepoel

The race is to way long let see in the later if evenepoel can stay in red jersey I think Roglic conserve his energy on the later later stage he will attack

You english always make me smile 😀, you always having problems with speaking the names wright . Lucky for you Remco have a verry easy name to spell 😂

There motorbikes are not disciplined ahead of right turns like this. They give the lead so much draft accelerating out of these corners. They need to pull out further ahead

GOAT track, you say??

It's not the same P/kg on steep climbs: Slightly different muscle groups get used ( Evenepoel trained on this, also got more muscular in general, weighs 2 kg more then giro last year) so it's not the same Power as on flat/less steep climbs,thus not the same P/kg.

no video on the amazing finish in the womens european championships?

meintjes

Wow Remco is strong. Also your pronounciation of Meintjes could be better :p

Oh my goodness this Remco dude could win this ,

Remco might not show it but he's already spent on the 1st week, he will be paying for that on the 2nd week.

I dont care. Just tell me what was the fastest bike and what wheels did they have so I can go out and buy a pair.

The Vuelta is clearly an afterthought for jumbo visma. Honestly, Jumbo shouldn’t have put Primo Rologic in the Vuelta, especially after having him peak for the tour. They should have had him target next years giro.

Primos has had a hard time the last few stages, he is not at his best and will have to improve if he is to beat Remco.

When Roglic has a bad day and "cracks" he losses a minute, if Remco cracks he will lose 5-10 min, remember that

Any spectators running alongside the competitors need to be arrested. Make it a no no. Sick of this behavior.

Eeeeeeevenepoel

You can use some training on Meintjes his name, your pronunciation sounds like Menkies

5:06 I love the numbers: 1313313.

RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMCOOOO

Usually not my thing to complain,but what have UAE done so far to help João Almeida? We all expected Soler to be Soler and don't give a crap about anybody,but where's the rest of the team?

Mine-kiss not men-keys

I bet roglics he will make 4 in a row 1000 dollars

EEEEEEEEEEEEEvenopel

What changed with remco this time? He wasn’t able to hold great performance for 3 weeks but all of a sudden he’s putting it together. And is roglic just not in form? I don’t see how remco is that much better than him

Evenepoel gives the lie to needing to start young as a bike racer, he has a huge motor, end of story, it's a strange sport, amazing motors and amazing downhill crashes........because most of these late bloomers can't descend. How often do you see Sagan or Allaphillipe crash on descents, relatively rare. Think of sports like swimming, golf, soccer, tennis, you start late, you NEVER make it as a pro. Still glad to see such good young talent, it's probably a golden age of cycling with Bernal, Pogecar, Evenepoel, Ayuso, etc. Just beasts (with most except Pogecar having huge, terrible crashes)

Pogacar

And from all of a sudden, Remco started to climb ">15% ramps" like the best climbers in the world.

If Evenepoel wins this Vuelta he will ride in the next year's TDF for Ineos

Motor

Remco Remco… I suspect... Had a little sauce let the legs talk. Maybe I’m just 1980-1990-2000-2009 Inflicted. Good riders made great with a little of the superior hot sauce. They rode so well. Let us noobs dream. A little of the hotter sauce hurts not the stage cinematics. Us Noobs no more than sugar fast ..made look slow pro rider proper performance enhancing
