Remco Evenepoel debuts new Olympic champion's jersey at Tour of Britain

The Tour of Britain has a few stars in it's field this year and throughout six stages it will be showing none other than the double Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel. The Soudal - Quick-Step will be racing in a new jersey with special details concerning his recent victories.
Talking to Het Laatse Nieuws yesterday at the pre-race press conference, the Belgian said: “It’s a special jersey with gold bands. I had to fight for it quite a bit, because the UCI insisted that the rainbow bands were preferred, but luckily I got both".
This morning he and Quick-Step revealed what they are working with. Unlike the team at the Vuelta a España there are no signs of T-Rex (a temporary sponsorship move for the Spanish Grand Tour) but instead, Evenepoel will be racing with a jersey that features both rainbow and Olympic stripes on his arms. This will be on the road, where he is a former World Champion and reigning Olympic Champion.
In the time-trials he continues to be the reigning champion for both so he will be wearing a rainbow jersey with the Olympic stripes most likely. He begins the British race today where he will test his form and the first three stages will be the key days for the overall classification.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
