On his
Tour de France debut,
Remco Evenepoel was the clear best of the rest behind
Tadej Pogacar and
Jonas Vingegaard, giving Belgian cycling hope that their long wait for a new winner of the Maillot Jaune might finally be coming to an end in the not too distant future.
Former Belgian cycling pro and 1992 Liege-Bastogne-Liege winner, Dirk De Wolf was left incredibly impressed by Evenepoel's performances over the last few weeks in France. "I have been texting Remco almost every day," the 63-year-old says in quotes collected by
HLN. "He has done fantastically and has gone through an enormous learning process. Third in the final classification, the white jersey, a stage win... Chapeau! It is pure enjoyment to watch him in action."
