“A great opportunity to ride my training routes together with my supporters” - Remco Evenepoel offers chance for fans to ride alongside him at R.EV Ride
Cycling
With Remco Evenepoel making his Tour de France debut next month, the Belgian could secure the biggest win of his career by taking the Maillot Jaune. Whether he does or not, later this summer, you could then ride alongside the Soudal - Quick-Step leader yourself.
On Saturday, August 10, four distances are available for the second-ever R.EV Ride (part of the Proximus Cycling Challenge), which starts and ends in Schepdaal, the home town of the reigning time-trial world champion. The distances are 55, 85, 130, and 170 kilometres and the routes pass through the Pays des Collines, the Wall of Gerardsbergen, the Bosberg, and the Congoberg in the Flemish Ardennes.
“The initiative is particularly close to my heart,” says Evenepoel in quotes collected by Het Laatste Nieuws once his participation in the event was announced officially. “After two busy months, with the Tour de France and the Olympic Games, it will be a great opportunity to ride my training routes together with my supporters. I look forward!"
Ahead of his Tour de France debut, Evenepoel will warm-up and test his legs after a crash at the Itzulia Basque Country earlier this year at the Criterium du Dauphine. Although recent Giro d'Italia winner Tadej Pogacar will start the Tour de France as overwhelming pre-race favourite, Evenepoel will be alongside the likes of Primoz Roglic and potentially Jonas Vingegaard, who also is attempting to return from his own crash, as Pogacar's main rivals.

- Ok. Tratnik's good and Red Bull's better so Tratnik may get what he wants.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. So just saying he wasn't enjoying racing anymore is some kind of explanation? Me saying I don't enjoy his explanation is more explaining than he did.flyer14-11-2026
- Buitrago, was he their best rider in 2026? He's the chief loss for them and Martinez and Tiberi (especially) have to step up or they will be overtaken by Bahrain's younger riders like Omrzel. I'm still somewhat high on Martinez but Tiberi, after showing signs of promise, has fizzled. Bahrain still has a good team but they need to improve and exceed expectations. I'd be happy if Mohoric could manage to return to his better form for maybe one last year at least.flyer14-11-2026
- Hmmm, "... I just gained 30 seconds purely off the bike. Because it's really a big, big improvement compared to the previous bike". Is that marketing for Specialized or serious valid hype, or something in between? Very likely the former.flyer14-11-2026
- Nothing revelatory or controversial. Why do we have to report on Bruyneel's or Armstrong's thinking. It's a shame and enough that the Move's on TV and that people watch it .flyer14-11-2026
- Makes sense that training from home is a big asset or advantage but it's still remarkable that he can put in three quality majors and not pay some heavy price for the exertion. I wish he would have won that tour stage that his crash while leading allowed Carapaz the win. He's a darn good rider and teammate.flyer14-11-2026
- Sounds like we all agree with the over under exaggeration: "The German’s signing does not guarantee that Evenepoel will win the Tour in 2027. "flyer14-11-2026
- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026
- I agree that, for Evenepoel, the Euro championship is overshadowed by the slightly off Lombardia and Worlds. However, I disagree that "Ciccone also made a serious mistake at the European Championships" because I don't think he had a win in the bag although he could have won with a perfect bike throw. Guesswork about the finish is not evidence by me for some serious mistake. Sometimes you just barely lose - although Ciccone's sourpuss about it persona was serious.flyer14-11-2026
