The Belgian Remco Evenepoel He was satisfied with his performance in the two Pyrenean stages, where he took a giant step to finish third in his first performance in the Tour de France, while indicating that the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar “is incomparable.”
“Visma tried to burn him, but they realized that Tadej was incomparable. I don’t think they will continue on that path and in the future there will be more escapes“, he pointed out.
“They made a dangerous tacticthis is the hardest stage of the Tour, they tried and we should applaud them, but Tadej is on another planet this year. I think Jonas resigned himself to finishing second, which is not bad,” he said.
The Belgian praised the Slovenian: “He is having a perfect year, I think it is because of his talent, his work and his motor. He is also at the age where he reaches his peak.”
Evenepoel made sure he remained focused on finishing in third place. “It’s my first Tour, if I finish well, I think I can progress in the future.”
“Today I lost time, but I thought I could follow Tadej and Jonas. But Jonas did not slow down and I concentrated on the differences with those behind. I kept a good rhythm and achieved a good that advantage with the one behind me. I think it was a good weekend for me,” he said.
He praised the work of his colleague Mikel Landawhich rose one place overall and is now fifth: “He had a great career.”
