Remco Evenepoel follows Mathieu van der Poel with Strava blackout: "People already know enough"

Following Mathieu van der Poel's decision to buck the trend and not upload all of his data to Strava, it seems as if Remco Evenepoel has now followed suit with no new information from the Belgian since April 2nd.

“People already know enough," the Soudal - Quick-Step Sports Director, Klaas Lodewyck explains in an interview with Het Nieuwsblad. "I don't think you should swing everything online either. The opposition reads along. If I were a rider now, I wouldn't do it either."

The most recent data uploaded by the reigning world road race champion was on the 2nd of April and was a training ride in Tenerife as he prepares to try and add the Giro d'Italia to his Grand Tour collection following last year's success at the Vuelta a Espana. "Remco is doing well," Lodewyck reassures.

"We then catch up on the Giro and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, where he will start as world champion with the ambition to win again," he continues. "After Liège-Bastogne-Liège, he will return to Calpe to continue working in preparation of the Giro starting on May 6. He is still exploring the climb time trial to Monte Lussari. Organizer RCS will open the course for three days. After that reconnaissance with sports director Davide Bramati, the Tour of Italy is really just around the corner."
