Last year Evenepoel rode Suisse but with a modest 11th place. He used the race as a building block towards his final part of the season - to great success, including victories at Clasica San Sebastian, Vuelta a Espana and World Championships. Here he will use the racing as preparation for the
national championships, and later on travel for an altitude camp ahead of the World Championships in Glasgow.
“Hopefully I can take some good legs from there to the Belgian Championships, to defend my TT title and to see what I can do in the road race. And then I can spend some weeks at altitude in the beautiful area around Val di Fassa," he reveals. "I have really enjoyed training there before and it is a stunning place to visit, with the advantages that being at altitude give, and it’s a great place to start looking forwards to the World Championships”
