Remco Evenepoel suffered big injuries in December which cut his start of the season by several months. His first however, at Brabantse Pijl, ended in victory against Wout van Aert. However, the Belgian is aware that
Amstel Gold Race will be a completely different affair - of course, with Tadej Pogacar now also as competition.
“I have recovered well from the efforts in the Brabantse Pijl. The initial phase is not too difficult, I can just roll along there. After that, I hope for fresh legs in the final”, the Belgian said in a pre-race interview with
Wielerflits. The race will be two hours longer and with more climbing - and with tougher competition - which should mke it much harder to take a victory even on a good day.
