"Ready" - Remco Evenepoel prepares for 2024 World Championship with monster 7hr+ Strava upload
CyclingWednesday, 18 September 2024 at 13:30
Remco Evenepoel has taken a Rainbow Jersey at each of the last two World Championships. Ahead of the 2024 edition in Zurich, the Belgian looks set to contest for victory yet again if his latest upload to Strava is anything to go by!
Taking on more than 260 kilometres, with just short of 3,600 metres of altitude gain, in an effort of more than 7 hours with an average speed of 36.6 kilometres per hour, the double Olympic champion posts a simple, one word caption... "Ready."
After claiming the Rainbow Jersey on the road at the 2022 World Championships in Wollongong, Evenepoel added an individual time trial title to his palmares last year in Glasgow. If the Belgian is to take another world title, he must overcome the likes of Primoz Roglic, Tadej Pogacar, Tom Pidcock and the reigning world champion, Mathieu van der Poel among others in an expectedly all-star field for Zurich.

- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- 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
