This is how Evenepoel works in the wind tunnel to improve his performance in tests

Great champions never stop working and seeking excellence. AND Remco Evenepoel This is one of them. The young Belgian cannibal knows that this season he will debut in the Tour de Francethat the fate of the grand tours is largely decided in the time trial stages, where he is a great specialist and where he always performs well.

But to continue to improve and better adapt to new materials and new bikes, this Tuesday the caround Soudal-Quick Step, CRI world champion, is working on Milan Polytechnic wind tunnel. His team reported Evenepeol, accompanied by those responsible for Castelli brand that provides cycling training, “throughout the day spent in the wind tunnel he tested several different options that he could use in the time trial race, and time trials will continue to be the main focus in 2024. The The main objective is to test different clothing options, including suits and shoe covers, and several helmet options for both road and time trial use.”

In this sense, the Soudal Quick-Step head coach, Koen Pelgrim, He clarified that: “the time we spend in the wind tunnel and the data we receive from it is very important. When racing time trials at the level that Remco does, good margins can make a big difference. In the controlled environment of the wind tunnel we can see the differences that different materials will make and at the same time see how they interact with different positions on the bike. Remco has a good position on the bike and Castelli already makes a good time trial suit, so instead of looking to make big changes, we’re trying to fix the setup we have.

Last season, Evenepoel competed in eight rounds against the clock. He won the Touring the UAE (17.3 km), both of Italy is spinning (19.6 and 35 km) and of World championship (47.8 km); and second to Lap (25.8 km), in two days of Tour of Switzerland (12.k7 and 25.7 km) and fourth in the CRI of Belgian Championshipdisputed at a distance of 42 km.
