Remco Evenepoel expected to start his road to the Tour de France at the Volta ao Algarve
Cycling
In 2024, Remco Evenepoel is expected to finally make his Tour de France debut. Whether he will be able to compete for the Maillot Jaune remains to be seen but according to the latest reports, he will begin his preparation at the Volta ao Algarve.
Belgian outlet Het Laaste Nieuws claim to be aware of the Soudal - Quick-Step leader's schedule for 2024 and according to them, the Portuguese stage race will see Evenepoel begin his campaign.
During the remainder of the year, it is claimed that a Paris-Nice debut will also be another milestone for the 23-year-old in the coming year. In the Classics, Liege-Bastogne-Liege will again take precedence for Evenepoel after taking victory in the race the last two years.
Prior to the Tour de France, Evenepoel is expected to take in the traditional tester race of the French Grand Tour at the Criterium du Dauphine. With his post-Tour schedule, Evenepoel is likely to prioritise the Olympic Games and World Championships.

- 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

- Agreed except the length of climbs, pretty sure you can stretch that to about a km unless we’re talking about half a dozen in quick succession.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- A bit much to suggest that Pogacar is better than MvdP on most terrains. The only terrain Pogacar is clearly better is long climbs, on any other terrain they are pretty even except flat cobbles and short and steep climbs (max a few 100 mtrs) where MvdP is clearly better than Pogacar.Velovibes21-12-2024
