Alejandro Valverde: "Tadej Pogacar is an exceptional rider but Remco Evenepoel is the best in the world by far"

Alejandro Valverde is very clear about who for him is the best cyclist of the moment. The rider from Murcia, who this weekend makes his debut with Movistar Team in the gravel discipline, gives his opinion on Tadej Pogacar and Remco Evenepoel who headline this Sunday's Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
"Tadej Pogacar is an exceptional rider but Remco Evenepoel is the best in the world by far. Evenepoel does things that surprise everyone, so for me he's the best," he told Cyclingnews.
The Spanish cyclist finished his professional career with 133 wins, many of them prestigious, but believes the young Belgian is going to be better than him. Ahead of Liège-Bastogne-Liège where the two will meet for the first time this season and be the main favourites to win La Doyenne, the number 1 and 3 in the UCI rankings stand apart of almost the entire peloton.
However the World Champion has something different, according to 'Bala': "With what he has already shown so far, for sure he is going to be better than me. To win the World Championships so young, to win the Vuelta a España, the Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Clásica de San Sebastián, all that is impressive," he concluded.
