The World Championships will take place in Zurich, Switzerland, next year; and the Belgian national coach was happy with the announced profiles. He believes
Remco Evenepoel and
Wout van Aert can fight for the rainbow jerseys.
"Then you automatically think of climbers. The type of climbs will determine which riders we take with us. To do this, you must first have seen the course with your own eyes," Belgian national coach
Sven Vanthourenhout told Sporza. The 273-kilometer race will feature 4500 meters of climbing and with the likes of Tadej Pogacar and Remco Evenepoel who can climb but also do these short efforts with the best puncheurs, there is a good chance that it will end up a race too hard for many classics specialists.
