After dirty eye forced abandon over the weekend Remco Evenepoel looks to return to form at Coppa Bernocchi: "If everything goes normally, that should work out"

Remco Evenepoel couldn't contest victory at Giro dell'Emilia last weekend against a rampant Tadej Pogacar. Abandoning early, there had been some suggestion the Belgian departed early due to the fact he could no longer take the win. Although new images prove that not to be the case, Evenepoel returns to action this Monday with a point to prove.
The real reason for Evenepoel's abandonment last weekend, turned out to be some dirt in the Soudal - Quick-Step leader's eye, as seen in images circulating on social media where Evenepoel can be seen getting water poured over his face by his team's staff member at the road side.
As mentioned though, the Olympic champion returns to racing this Monday afternoon, leading the Soudal - Quick-Step charge at Coppa Bernocchi. "I'm just making the best of it, that's all I can do," he says in quotes collected by HLN. "On Monday and Tuesday, I want to finish a good Coppa Bernocchi and Tre Valli Varesine to really be at my best in Lombardy, that's the goal. If everything goes normally, that should work out."
Ahead of Coppa Bernocchi 2024, Team DS Davide Bramati also sounded optimistic. “In the past three seasons, we won twice and racked up a total of four podium finishes in Bernocchi, so it goes without saying this is a race we like a lot and where we hope to be again in contention for a good result, on what will be a demanding and quite selective parcours. Things didn’t go as planned for us in Emilia, but that’s cycling, and this only motivates us even more for Monday," he previewed to the team's official website.

- i don’t know nearly as much about bruyneel or hincapie as most of us do about lance, but we judge people by the company they keep. i hand no idea what psychological problems the other two have, but there’s gotta be something pretty severely wrong with them if they continue to choose to be close to armstrong.OCexile26-12-2024
- Ayuso and Rodriguez are only 22 and 23. Don't pressure it as they're still so sooo young.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
