In the Olympic Games, money is not distributed to champions, but sports excellence is recognized. Life experiences are a priority and one day the cycling of the last century is brought back, without a headset, where each runner does their own management of the race with the help of motorcyclists carrying time difference boards. And in that scenario, Remco Evenepoel (24 years old) showed how to act like no one else, following his instincts, as he did in the beginning, to take his second gold medal at the Paris Games after the one he won in the time trial. No one has achieved a double like this in one of the founding sports of the Olympics and the Belgian did it with a stratospheric display after 270 kilometers of suffering.
And the finish line of the Trocadero is also a party where thousands of French fans sing an improvised Marseillaise and celebrate the second and third places of Valentin Madouas and Christopher Laporte there was a cry of “Allez le France.” The best of the Spanish is Alex Aranburu18th, 2’13 behind the winner. Juan Ayuso He was 22nd at 2’20 and Oier Lazkano 35th in 3’42.
He said Luis Ocaña already the tour It gave the smell of the epic wherever it passed and Paris did not receive the arrival of the most important race in the world this year – it ended in Nice for security – but in the atmosphere of the city there is a desire to see the cyclists, the sport of the town which does not require spending a fortune on tickets to enjoy them. The race showed the most famous monuments of the French capital such as Versailles either Montmartrethe hard sacred peak where Mathieu Van der Poel decided to dynamite the sleeping race with a very difficult attack in the middle of the climb in which he alone responded, from the start, Wout van Aert. But far from being a head-to-head between two cyclocross stars, a third genius appeared in the fray, Remco Evenepoelto launch his own attack, this one brilliant, to finish the race with 37 kilometers to go. With his light pedaling, he imposed a devilish speed to frighten his fellows who escaped and fought only. Valentin Madouas. Behind them, because of the size of the names taking center stage, the peloton threw in the towel and surrendered to the ground. The escapees understood each other wonderfully and worked together to build their chances of winning.
With 20 kilometers to go, Madouas showed signs of weakening and Evenepoel He gritted his teeth in the middle of a crowded hallway and left to finally let go of his fleeing companion and head alone towards the Eiffel Tower. And since there is no victory without its dose of epic, there are 4 kilometers left to celebrate the victory, Evenepoel was punctured and he had to change bikes in a scene that led to fears of the worst for the Belgian’s interests, but came to naught because of the great lead of more than a minute that he had. The Belgian celebrated the victory in an unparalleled setting, with the finish line on the stage of the opening ceremony at the Trocadero and with the great symbol of Paris in the background.
