Thanks for having me, guys!💪💚
Legend in the chat 💥❤️💥
Come to Pisa ❤
It's 2023 and TT cycling is being dominated by a youtuber.
Congrats for WC TT bro 🎉 You were legendary!
You’re welcome.
Dunno who this remco guy is, but quite impressive that he managed to get on the LR podcast
He might win a stage at a Grand Tour after this!
😂😂
Guess youre not a big cycling fan if you don't know the Vuelta winner last year. World champ on the road and time trial etc...
Zing!
😂😂😂😂
BAM! 🥊💥
Benji, can you please promise to never ever stop doing the lanterne rouge cycling podcast? 🙏😁 You guys just rock! Such a pleasure listening to each and every single one 👌
Nice wink wink to patlef
Patrick missed a chance to do a "RRRemco EEEEEEEEvenepoel" at the start 😂
Seriously missed. Have to do pt 2 with proper introduction
Yeah but you see the respect and the quiet excitement on his face. Wonderful to see, what a moment for Pat and Benji and, I'm only halfway through right now but - they smashed this interview out of the park 💯
Mads Pedersen told a Danish reporter that his power file showed him going over 1000 watts 269 times during the worlds road race!
It was brutal!
Wtf that is madness, completely crazy
Wtf, and it's not like they had time to rest in between.
Thank you for passing along that completely insane statistic 🤯
Lol just reading hurts my legs, my heart, and blows my mind
wow, these guys are so strong. If I try doing 20 sprints at 1000 watts on training I will do them riding around a hospital because thats where I end up anyway
Holy buckets! Did anyone else notice that he recalled every race he was talking about, along with the winners of that race too? Remco has some memory skills! When he retires, he'll be an amazing commentator. He's really well spoken! I love this guy
Indeed! I noticed that with other (former) riders, as well. It must be that memories created whilst suffering on a road bike go straight to Permanent Storage 😉
I love him too. What an awesome interview and what a sharp memory
@Fluxchase I like the part where Patrick says "I'm guessing 400 maybe 410 watts " and Remco goes "Good guess!". He knows exactly what his power meter said.
well he's still young and his brain is not filled with memories yet. Once people get older, the amount of memories will increase and they can't recall as well compared to when they were younger.
A lot of athletes are like this. Pitchers remember thousands of at bats, chess players remember almost every move from past games. Crazy bastages.
Wow, Remco is such a kind and nice guy. No big ego whatsoever. Chapeau to you Remco 👍
No big ego whatsoever other than thinking Alaphillipe should be his domestique.....
@@amc5966 He referred to himself in the third person in an interview I saw once lol!
@@amc5966tbh, he should be in some races. Alaphilippe is far from his best and even remco will support others when he knows he's not a favorite to win
@@amc5966 The way Alaphilippe is riding, he honestly has to step up if he wants to be any GC leader's domestique.
@@amc5966 What's wrong with that when he's contesting for GC and even Alaphillpie is cool with it? Don't see the issue her. Just look how he acted in this interview, no celebrity attitude - just a relaxed, cool guy taking 2 hours of his full packed schedule to sit down and have a chat :)
This is probably the best cycling interview I've ever seen. Remco's honesty and your on point question really made those 2 hours fly.
yall have come far from the thermonuclear days to studio interview with the goat himself. congrats patrick and benji, yall rocks.
I kinda miss the scrappines of the thermonuclear attacks days. This is too corporate, next step is Lantern Rogue Media Group :P (just kidding)
Great interview!
I'm pretty sure we might see Thermonuclear in the near future with the 2023 Veulta Espana
Remco has a long long way to go before reaching any goat status. he's probably not even the current greatest rider
Thermobiblical actually ;)
What an interview!! You guys- terrific work and you showed Remco as he needs to be seen. Knowledgeable and very likable. We need more of these high quality interviews!
Agree - seen him in a new light after this!
This is how I felt - I wouldn’t root for Remco because he didn’t seem too likable. But after getting to know him through this interview and him taking the time for my favorite cycling podcast, I will root for him now.
Agree also. Remco is totally different to how he’s portrayed from various stories / incidents. Seems a really normal and likeable guy.
Absolutely. I’m a huge Quickstep and Remco fan and love the guy, but now everyone can see how personable he is. What an awesome interview
@@nathanphillips4027 same. So glad to see this interview. Great job all around.
As a portuguese and previously not a Remco fan, I can say how wrong I was and promps to all you guys. Remco deserve it and what a legend!
It makes me sick now to understand how much my mind was set by the media. I was just another sheep 😂
Good job guys!
He s getting a lot of heat in Belgium, but he s mentally unbreakable. Always haters, he attacks and comes in often SOLO
Nah he is very well respected in belgium by the media but ofcourse there are always some ignorant critics
I can say the same
@@giespouwen8091 ja inmiddels wel, maar hij heeft wel moete knokken voor respect te krijgen,en veel krediet heeft hij nooit gehad en zal hij nooit hebben..heb hem in podcast gezien recent..aimable
@@sanseb17 zeker waar maar de mensen dat nog steeds kritiek hebben zijn gewoon verzuurde mensen dat niets van koers kennen 😄
Benji being the cobble police is becoming a great development.
Went from watching benji on pro cycling manager to interviewing remco.... What a ride
😍
Real
This is funny. For someone who doesn't know CM. Was Benji like a top 3 video game talent?
@@andygendron yeah he was the man lol. I still play occasionally he got me hooked
nice guantanamo bay setting over there
LoL
Well Remco's just won over one new fan here. What a great young man he is. Favourite part so far is
1:03:30
Kasper (concerned): Be careful there's a dangerous right corner coming.
Remco (dismissively): Where?
When the interviewers know their shit, it makes such a huge difference to the quality of the interview. Remco does so many interviews with host who don't know what they are talking about, that it's probably refreshing for him to do an interview like this. I hope you guys pursue doing more interviews with riders even if they aren't as well known as Remco
About 50 minutes in, have to finish it later but guys: this is the cycling content fans have only dreamed of hitherto. It’s a complete success. A home run. A field goal. Whatever analogy you like: you nailed it. I’m completely riveted, can’t wait to watch the rest tonight. You’ve totally humanized Remco for cycling fans. Chapeau 🍻
Finished it. Awesome. Seriously, this was excellent. Amazing work Pat and Benji 🍻
Where did the media bashing of Remco come from? What a great person.
What an endearing interview. The human side. The sacrifice. The youth. And the chemistry of the three of you. Wonderful. ❤
Well said ☝
I loved this interview. My impression of Remco is completely different than it was. He was so real, so genuine, so mature for someone so young. Thanks, LR. More, please.
Aight , I got him wrong , I’ll admit it.
Remco is cool as fuck 😎! I’m very much looking forward to him riding the tour next year and good luck to him. Hopefully we can have a triple threat match !
Before this podcast i thought Remco is a bit arrogant but now i think he is a very honest and humble guy who just love to ride his bike just like Pogi. I wish him luck to win as many GT. We need more cyclists like him, Pogi, Matthiew who love this sport and to look like humans not like robots.
i was also thinking the same .This changed my perspective of him
This is so good a huge leap in showing Remco as a normal person, after all the bad exposure the media portrayed him from his short interviews
I mean, I doubt his teammates loved being talked about as domestiques who need to compete with each other lest they become too relaxed to help him win a GT lol
Living in Belgium, I'm spoiled with great race interviews, but this was one of the greatest! Congrats Benji & Patrick! Thanks to Remco for being so authentic and open!
Oh shit I thought this was all a meme for like an interview with producer Luke. Fair play LRCP just keeps levelling up and rightfully taking over cycling media 🤝
Dude. You are the best cycling content creator out there. Holy sh*t. You managed to get an in depth interview with a cycling superstar. That’s amazing keep up the great work
This is the best interview of a pro rider on youtube. The questions are ON POINT guys, you rock!
This was fucking excellent. Remco was so open, so conversational, a fantastic guest. This will do great things for his image as well. Please have him back on!!
super generous from LR and benji to give this guy some coverage and allow him to market himself to future teams. I reckon we could see a lot from this Remco guy in the future
😂
I didn't realize Remco was such a charismatic dude. I'm now a fan
You can't just drop a podcast on us like this, i need time to prepare
Gotta put a big blocker in the calendar
The Internet is a little bit like an" American Idol "style vehicle. You see someone early on like LR - before LRCP, before Benji, someone who was taking Cosmo material to the next level and you think to yourself " this guy could go places". Then you see every step along the way and you feel like you are part of the ride.
Nice nod to Cosmo, the OG of UA-cam race breakdowns.
@@charliedillon1400I would love to see him making more videos tbh. I just rewatched his old videos and they are all fantastic.
You know it's serious bizniz when Patrick has skipped the glasses for contacts 👀 Congrats boys !! Been listening since day 1 ❤️
Really fantastic discussion. As an American, this is the longest interview with Remco I've heard. He really impressed me! Thanks. Love the pod.
I thought this same thing. No Remco in cycling media over here at all.
So proud to see how far you guys have come! I like to think I've been a part of the journey, watching since the beginning! Unreal work, keep it going!
Same here!!
Definitely.
Am addicted to a wonderful sport coz of these two.
🙏👍😍
I do miss the old Benji constantly abusing the English language in the "Right Way". Relaxter has entered my std vocab.
Same. It's like your proud of your friends succeeding, but they don't know you haha
Same here 🫡
First you become the premier UA-cam channel for professional cycling coverage, now you outdo yourselves with this absolutely fantastic interview with Remco! You are setting a ridiculously high standard for UA-cam cycling content!
Honestly, I have always been a fan of remco and how he races, just never been a fan of his personality. After watching this interview, totally changed my mind. Especially his laid back, great, honest attitude. Crazy how the media can really portray someone.
In case you missed it, you podcast got mentioned on Belgian news. They showed the clip where he said he'll be staying at Quick Step.
I don't think I really grasped how smart Remco is until this interview. Really pleasant to watch and I learned a lot.
One of the very few riders who calls others by their first names...seems to be a very nice guy in person actually.
Bloody awesome interview. I was one of the guys that thought of Remco as arrogant but this interview has completely changed my views. More of this …
remco is cool man
11/10 interview. I never was a fan of Remco because his story as a rider has never been on display like this. What a likeable guy!
You guys are now the captains of cycling media 🎉 well done!
I would hope this makes way for more cyclists to come on the pod when they are training in Andorra. There really isn’t a platform for these world class athletes to show off their personality and have candid chats like this. So fun to listen to.
guys gotta get a round table this is some interrogation room lookin shit. 5 stars
Damn 1 hour 48 min interview- so much content 🥳
Oh man how good and kind is remco, u could see he was trying to stay modest, not talk like he is at least a top 3 rider in the world, so cool. Nice interview, get pogi next pls
The best cycling related content of 2023 hands down. What a legend Remco already is.
Remco Evenepoel, 23. Already a Legend.
i was right in thinking Remco wanted more science at quickstep when the comments came out. That it wasn't so much about teammates but he himself feeling he isn't quite yet fighting with the same weapons prep wise.
Agree. But given that they already made big improvements there this season i think they will get there.
I like this guy more now that he's done this interview. He needs to do more interviews like this more people need to know more about him from him not from the media
Respect… genuine guy for sure… no managed sound bites… as another has said… the best cycling interview I think I’ve ever seen
I love the respect he shows to his biggest competitors. This is going to be one hell of a Vuelta! Eat 'm, no respect 😛
The BEST cycling based interview ever heard! That is thanks to Remcos frankness and willing to be open, but you have to credit the atmosphere benji and partrick created as well as the intelligence of their questions. Im not even a Remco fan, but this interview was so insightful and interesting. Chapeau.
Remco is actually the GOAT for coming to this podcast and talking like this!
Yes!!! There's nothing I like more than being put in my place and being demonstrated I was wrong.
Like You said, Remco has that arrogant label but this interview has shown the real him. Talking as much as He wanted. Explaining himself and giving his own opinions. He is a great likeable guy in the short distances and that's what us, fans want to see from pro riders (apart of course from battle and racing).
Thanks to this interview I have now converted myself to a Remco fan 😅.
I hope I see him this winter around Calpe.
Really good long interview style - would love to hear more riders like this. Remco come across as humble , intelligent and honest. Congrats all round
no big deal, right guys? this is just how we roll 🙄😂 goddamn somebody pinch me. great convo. thanks LRCP!
I'm super fan of LR since his early days, I'm not that fan of podcasts in general really. I'm not fan of Remco, but somehow I watched this one and I can say Remco is somewhat fun to be with.
First of all, great job landing a superstar like Remco for an interview.
And secondly, I have greatly enjoyed a more humane approach to your interview, it really felt like you have a kindred cycling degenerate in there, not a world class star.
Once again, great job!
Awesome! Not only did you guys manage to get Remco Evenepoel, but he was an absolute pleasure to listen to. All the best, great kid with an amazing mindset. Would love to see him, Jonas and Tadej competing for the TdF next year!
Oh my god, you’re interviewing my favorite cyclist in the world, the guy I love so much I decided to study his language so I can understand him in his native tongue. Heel erg bedankt Patrick, Benji, and Remco. Please stay with Quickstep and go Remco Go!
Studier Nederlands.
Just got around to watching this interview in Oct 2023. I too thought Remco was arrogant from media reports but started to think they were wrong when i watched the Vuelta and found that Remco's comments/complaints were spot on and made sense to me. This interview confirms that Remco is a decent guy and that the media are misrepresenting him.
How can you not like this guy! 🖤💛❤
Insane! Hoping for MVDP next 🙏
One hell of a guy. Won me over in this interview.
Watching this after La Vuelta and Remco’s phenomenal performance. Just astounding! Congrats on a fantastic Vuelta, Remco! My wife calls him “Remmie”! She was screaming, “Go Remmie!!!” in the finale of the final stage.
Thank you very much Patrick and Benji for having Remco as a guest, this was truly one of the best interviews with a cyclist from the last decades . ❤
Am I watching the best cycling video on YT ever??? Yes fuck yes!!
SO STOKED. Can't believe you guys have come this far. Congrats on top notch content from day 1!!!
Super nice guy. To be honest, did not expect that to that extend. And thumbs up for your style of interview, that also let him shine. Keep it coming!
Best cycling content on the webs by far, and now a Remco exclusive! Huge fan of Remco's character and racing style, excited to see his future adventures!
I'm so glad that whenever a hater says that Remco has a big ego, I can just send them this link and prove them wrong.
I hate to state the obvious, but it would be great / awesome / ... if you could do the same interview format with Tadej, Jonas, G Thomas, MvdP, WvA etcetera etcetera. Both big names and guys that you know will be fun to interview.
Great piece of journalism there guys, congrats! Feels like you got a chance to film a top athlete, analyzed you needed to prepare like hell for all small things and you produced a very informative yet entertaining interview. Unfortunately this gets my hopes up that we will get more sportsshow-like formats like this one. I hope this video goes beyond your expectations and you see the potential in both of you making content together in-person. Imho you really upped your game with this!
Wow you teased a big name in the WC podcast but wasn't expecting this. I remember LR releasing a Remco hype video before anyone knew about him.
Fact. He told everybody Remco was legit.
Wow, nice job LRCP! Remco just won me over; what a wonderfully relaxed, open, and smart conversation. I honestly did appreciate his teamwork in this year's RR WC and certainly congratulate his performance in the TT. Super happy to hear about the respect for WVA and other riders. Chapeau! (I know that's French, not Flemish or Dutch)
Speaking of Wout, can we get him on please?
Fantastic fan boy interview guys, you've converted me into a Remco fan. ❤️🚴🇦🇺
I was neither a Remco fan or hater before, but he comes across really well here and I like how he's being so honest in interviews so far in the Vuelta.
Big grats having Remco as a guest. Also big thank you to Remco taking the time.
What comes from that is mostly how sincere and trustful are these champions and "machines", compared to the past decades, when it was all about themsleves, intox and smalltalk (poor-talk). Great to hear and to witness.
This is a new angle i saw of Remco that i have never seen . it's nice to listen to him
This La Vuelta '23 might be the best GT of the year. Most GC guys are here with the favorites Vingo-Roglic-Remco-G-Ayuso-Almeida-Vlasov and also young riders like Team DSM duo Onley-Poole, Uijdebroecks and many others. Just much excited!
Absolutely fantastic interview. I always thought remco was too mentally aggressive but you guys brought out his true character which is awesome. He just seems like a guy who is confident in his ability if he gets the preparation right.
Excellent interview 👏. Got a feeling this will really help to enhance Remco's popularity with cycling fans around the world simply by giving him a platform to show his real personality. Well done all.
I love the smile on the boys’ faces during the intro. What a get!
Nice interview. Remco semms like a really nice great guy.
Remco seems like such a great guy, and not just professional sportsman well rehearsed nice, just generally nice.. And he's got great test in music.
Remco is definitely winning the Vuelta now Patrick let him in on the secret of "just do 1500W"
If you can do 150 watts for 10 hours you can do 1500 watts for 1 hour. Basic math
Shoutout to you guys, hoping this is the first of many.
Great interview, and Remco actually explains the specialized "face sock" w the TT helmet. It's a part of the helmet and you CANNOT take it off. LOL! 59:30
UCI rules are weird from time to time.
@@Tibovl yeah I know there are things like (foot) sock length rules
Great respect for Remco. It is sit downs like this that’s helps fans really connect with riders. Remco has gained a fan. Thank you for this interview.
This is just gold. I love how Remco is always so open in his post race interviews when talking about race analysis and why he did this and that. Combine that with the knowledge of these two cycling degenrates and it's just perfect. Hard to find a better match.
Wow! Terrific interview. Seeing Remco in an entirely different light now.
That was the best cycling interview I've ever seen. Remco was comfortable, open and honest.
Oh wow! This is so awesome! Congrats on the interview guys and special mention to Luke for the production value 👏🏼
Remco is so well spoken . Great interview guys .
This is probably the best cycling interview I have ever seen. Each participant plays a perfect part with no egos in the room. A wonderful insight into background and mindset of Remco.
It looked more like a conversatian then a interview. And i say this as a compliment. And to all the Remco haters i like to say this. none of u haters suffers that much as Remco did. I mean like he said. . .he could not even go to the toilet after that Lombard crash. And to come back on that level u have to be hard on yourself!
First time im gonna watch an interview over 30 minutes long!
