Remco Evenepoel’s challenge at La Vuelta

The young Belgian runner Remco Evenepoel (22 years old) He is an outstanding cyclist, but he did not find himself in the situation he is in now and indeed, after his failed experience in 2021 Giro d’Italia, there are voices questioning his performance in a three-week Grand Tour. Even now there were still those who doubted the strength of his team to protect him when he needed it, but for now the disciple of eddy merckx is wonderfully responsive. He took the red jersey on Australian day Jay Vine appear in society Janus Peak and yesterday he defended the leadership with great solvency, in a land, that of the high mountains, that always worried him.

Until now, and especially after marveling at 2018 World Junior Championshipswhere he did the double in the time trial and on the road, and to achieve an insulting victory in 2019 San Sebastian Classic At just 19 years old, Evenepoel has already proven capable of winning all kinds of one-day races and winning five-day or one-week races, with victories already in Vuelta Burgos, the Vuelta al Algarve and the Vuelta in San Juan (Argentina)all of them in 2020, or at back to norway this year.

Exactly, in 2020 he suffered a heavy fall at Il Lombardía, where he broke his pelvis and suffered a contusion in his right lung. Ten months later, and without competing, his team, Quick step, it is lined up at the Giro. That’s a mistake. He wasn’t comfortable and he crashed on stage 18. He struggled but he came back in form, and he didn’t lose the class.

After seven stages, he led La Vuelta, which he attended after winning the San Sebastian Classic. And not only is the red jersey and the high mountains not weighing him down, but he is already thinking about winning a stage. “I am very happy with what I felt today (yesterday). I hope I recover well, because tomorrow (today) I need fresh legs. I saw from other years that in Les Praeres there is no huge difference, but if you explode you are lost. This is a port that suits me very well. I will give everything. We will try to defend the jersey, and why not try to win the stage. It would be very nice”, said Remco yesterday, who needs to be monitored especially on Tuesday, in the time trial in Alicante, a discipline where he flies.
