He's back! Remco Evenepoel returns to training following surgery
CyclingSunday, 17 November 2024 at 23:00
Remco Evenepoel has began his preparation for 2025, a week
after he had surgery on his teeth. Evenepoel had a super year in 2024,
including a world title, two Olympic golds, and a Tour de France podium, and
returned with an easy 60km ride.
The Belgian star is looking to close the gap to Tadej
Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard at the 2025 Tour de France, and fans will be
hoping he can get closer to the top two in the mountains so we can have a three
way fight for the yellow jersey.

It seems that whilst the surgery has given him a swollen
jaw, it won’t be impacting his training too much. His first ride since the
surgery took him Halle and through Schepdaal, his home, for a ride of over 60km
in less than two hours. “Learning to ride a few teeth lighter,” he joked on Strava.
With his trip to the dentist now out of the way, Evenepoel
can get back to work as he builds towards a big year in 2025 with his team Soudal
– Quick-Step.

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
