Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel has barely had time to celebrate his victory in the World Time Trial in Glasgow 2023, who is already back to work and preparing his season finale which, after the Vuelta a España, will contain Il Lombardia.
After a short break in Belgium, the newly crowned champion in the time trial discipline flew to Andorra last Monday to carry out a final phase of training at altitude as part of his preparation for the Vuelta. This race is scheduled to start next Saturday, August 26, and Evenepoel's main objective is to consolidate his position as champion, defending the title he won in the previous edition.
However, the Vuelta a España will not be the only goal for the 23-year-old rider in this final stretch of the season. As reported by Het Laatste Nieuws, the Soudal-QuickStep rider has confirmed his participation in the prestigious Il Lombardia competition, a race in which he expressed interest in recent months.
In addition to the iconic "Dead Leaves Classic" scheduled for Saturday, October 7, Evenepoel will also compete in another race before the winter break. This is the "Chrono des Nations", which will take place next October 15 and which the Belgian cyclist has already won once in the junior category in 2018. On this occasion, the talented cyclist born in 2000 will have the opportunity to wear his brand new time trial world champion's jersey again, adding it to the two previously planned appearances in the Vuelta a España.
The cycling world will be keeping an eye on the upcoming challenges of Remco Evenepoel, who with his determination and skills has proven to be a leading figure on the international scene. The combination of his youth and his impressive track record in time trial races make him a rider to watch closely in every competition he enters. With his foray into the Vuelta a España and his commitment to "Il Lombardia" and the "Chrono des Nations", Evenepoel will be looking to reaffirm his status as one of the most promising and successful cyclists of the moment.
Cycling fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming performances of Remco Evenepoel, who continues to captivate fans and accumulate achievements in his professional career. The young Belgian will undoubtedly continue to make his mark on the world of international cycling during this exciting final phase of the season.

- So he's got an attitude of egocentric proportions, typical Yorkshire guy then...
leedorney15-11-2024 - Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
