100 kilometers on the bike - Remco Evenepoel quickly begins to build training towards 2025 season
Cycling
Remco Evenepoel sustained massive injuries on his fall back in December and there were big worries of the timing for his schedule for the preparation towards the spring. However as he returns to training on the road he provides good reassurances, as on day 2 he already went over 100 kilometers on the bike.
The Belgian rider returned to the road on the 7th of February with a small ride of an hour where he went through the scene of his fall, where he suffered several fractures - but most importantly perhaps, meaningful damage to a shoulder which still requires heavy physiotherapy work.
However, if there is one sure way to quickly regain confidence on the road and get the body used to the requirements of being on the road, it's with a 100-kilometer ride. The Olympic and World time-trial champion has put on another ride in Belgium, putting in three hours on the bike. It is expected that over the coming weeks he will begin to put in serious kilometers on the bike so as to properly prepare for racing. He expects to make his debut this year at the Brabantse Pijl in mid-April.

- If niermann this he can predict cramps, that would be helpful for a lot of people around the world. It was the standard strategy for Benoot and Jorgensen to attack and they should haveabstractengineer03-04-2025
- Wow! People have to understand that being light is absolutely a good thing on cobbles, as bouncing means you have to lift yourself over and over again. Being a lighter cyclist is always a good thing (ceteris paribus), unless you're going downhill.acem8203-04-2025

- Powless just got “better” at 28, Rog hasn’t gotten worse at 35, GT only really started getting going in GT late twenties. Give the guy a chance, he’s not even been let off the leash yet, remember what Jonas achieved GT wise since being given leader status.Mistermaumau03-04-2025

- i completely agree. wouter has been through a meat grinder. he’s such a class act, a man of such character that he would never complain or make excuses, that’s why it’s so infuriating to hear him spoken about as if he was failing, choking, or in any way not fulfilling what’s expected of him. i get it, he’s a PRO, so part of what he gets paid for is to be a target for anyone with an opinion. fair enough. MY opinion is that he needs TIME to overcome a pile of injuries. i hope he gets there, because he deserves a pile of wins.OCexile02-04-2025
- I just went through the list of events in his recent riding history listed in another article (so not including his very expensive legal affair and any potential trouble at home) and it’s a half miracle he’s still riding at all. He's outfallen Roglič for sure, who always came away RELATIVELY unharmed.Mistermaumau02-04-2025
- ugh. slice and dice this any way you like. if you’re one of the belgians TRYING to believe wout is going to be in the fight at de ronde and roubaix, this is an ice cold dose of reality. my opinion is that nobody — ESPECIALLY his own team — should have been fanning any expectations of wout at this point after what he’s endured.OCexile02-04-2025

- True but things also change, Primoz will get older, Remco crashes, MJ isn’t peaking yet and people can improve their weaknesses faster than others improve their strengths, cf MVDP climbing, JV TTing.Mistermaumau02-04-2025
