2 months later, Remco Evenepoel returns to training on the road - And has ridden through his crash location
Cycling
Remco Evenepoel crashed in early December and suffered very heavy injuries including bruised lungs, fractured ribs, scapula and hand; and more... One month later he was given the green light to get back to training indoors, and on the 7th of February the Soudal - Quick-Step has finally returned to training on the road.
The Belgian is still undergoing a lot of physiotherapy work for one of his shoulders, something which has given him immense difficulty. After two months of recovery, the Quick-Step team will be hoping he has recovered enough to truly begin to train for the 2025 season - at a time where most of his rivals have either began, or are weeks away from making their debut.
At home in Belgium, Evenepoel rode 41 kilometers this Friday afternoon at an average speed of 33Km/h, big speeds for an amateur rider but most likely just an adaptation ride for the double Olympic Champion. He uploaded the activity to Strava. Evenepoel called the activity "Back to where it ended" as he rode through the location where he collided with the opening door of a postal van at the time.
🤞 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐨 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐨, día a día, para Remco Evenepoel

- In Track and Field, there's Usain Bolt in the sprints and Kenya's Kipchoge in the marathon. Though Bolt can quite easily beat Kipchoge in the 100m dash, he probably won't even finish a marathon. Tadej won't beat Mathieu in a sprint, yet he wins the TDF while MVDP languishes in 50th place. Both are great champions in their respective fields, but my admiration goes to Tadej for trying.FredMan23-03-2025

- He can win that sprint if he plays it right but leaving tha gap was ridiculous ! A spring after 6+ hours isn't a guarantee for MVDPfrieders323-03-2025
- The climbs are steeper on Flanders giving Pogi the advanatge as we saw before when he won!frieders323-03-2025
- VDP is best in a short sprint, so Pog was purposely leaving a gap in hopes that VDP wouldn't have enough to sprint for 310 meters at the end of 300 KM. Kwiatkowski did the same thing to Sagan at that same point and won because of it.acem8223-03-2025
- Ganna started winning the occasional end of season sprint a few years ago. It's been fun watching him change from a TT specialist into something more.RidesHills23-03-2025
- hey look, an insinuating question from 2 years ago! I mean, sure, announcers mentioned tail wind, but whatever. That wasn't going to matter today, not with the 2 best classics riders of the past many generations (you have to go back to the 70s to see two people dominate like this, and even Merckx and de Vlaeminck never managed to win 2 each in the same year, the way Pogacar and Van der Poel have done in the past 2 years).RidesHills23-03-2025
- I like my statistics: Pogacar and van der Poel have won 13 of the last 18 Monuments and are tied at 7 each (MvdP won his first long enough ago that it doesn't show the more recent utter domination.) Oh, and the last 2 road world championships. Oh, and one of them also won the last Tour and Giro, while the other won the CX and Gravel world championships. I mean, anyone reading this site knows all this, but it's worth being amazed by it all every now and then.RidesHills23-03-2025
- Congratulations to all three on the podium. The final seconds reminded me of E3 a few years back, when tiny little Pogacar had no chance against van Aert and van der Poel, but that was just the last few seconds of an incredible race. Everything from the launch on the Cipressa to crossing the line was amazing.RidesHills23-03-2025
- All 3 of them went to doping control
