CyclingFriday, 09 June 2023 at 02:30
Earlier this week, Remco Evenepoel went to Instagram to share his excitement about a ride he's just completed in home Belgium. There, he took on a 231 km route with over 4300 altitude meters, covering some of the most iconic climbs of monumental classic, the Liege-Bastogne-Liege, including Col de La Redoute, Roche-aux Faucons, Côte de Stockeu and Col du Rosier.
"As Remco returns after illness, we'll just take it day by day and see what he can do in the mountains, where he'll also have James to help him in addition to the other guys. For the flat stages, our man is Tim, who can count on Bert to guide him, so we're confident in our chances of getting some good results," team's sports director Geert Van Bondt said about plans for the race.
Evenepoel's big Ardennes ride was his last spin on home roads before heading out to Switzerland to compete in Tour de Suisse from June 11 to June 18.

- Oh, so now you know Pog better than he knows himself? Saying that when at the same time you can see an article quoting Pog saying “sometimes I don’t know why I attack” and not ever analysing emotions as men tend to is really rather naive and reductive. Hardly worth wasting our planet’s energy and ressources for. How about elevating the discussion to think over things a bit deeper?Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024
