As is usual, the Chrono des Nations provides a final opportunity in the season for the World Champion to show off his jersey. Remco Evenepoel has already debuted it as the Worlds came early this year, but will race the French race.
After a packed preparation period which included wins at the time-trial Worlds and Clásica San Sebastián, Evenepoel suffered a bad day at the Vuelta a Espana which took down his overall classification aspirations. There was no recovering from that, but he did do the next best thing, winning two more mountain stages and the KOM classification afterwards.
Racing wise his season is not complete yet however, the Belgian will race Il Lombardia where he is expected to meet Tadej Pogacar and Primoz Roglic, and will most likely end his season the following weekend at the Chrono des Nations.
Last year Stefan Küng was the winner in France, however this year Evenepoel will be facing the new European Champion and time-trialing supertalent Joshua Tarling.

- That may be so but he probably can’t say tgst as it could be considered breach of contract if he was signed up for team/JV duties, in which case we might never know because he won’t want to take the risk of having to pay like WVA. I don’t think anyone knows what was promised but he accepted a pay reduction and could easily have continued at Jayco. To be honest, I don’t think ANYBODY was still counting on him winning a GT at that time, hence why he’d never got any interesting offers before. And then it happenedMistermaumau29-01-2026
- If that’s your starting pount then in the article situation It’s not a matter of equality whatsoever because that person wouldn’t tag along with everyone (let alone film it) you he is targeting a specific person to follow which in fact means HE is guilty of creating inequality by considering that person is worth following more than some other random person. This is getting like the free speech absolutist trying to shut up people who reply against them.Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- There are a lot of desperate nobodies out there who can’t keep the satisfaction of an encounter in their private circle but hope to be in the spotlight for 15s by association. I guess you’re thinking of this Artem guy but at least he’s kind of known by riders and probably asks? This is only the beginning though, soon there will be tour guides taking groups along the training routes in the hope of encountering someone, a mix of the Hollywood home tours and safaris. I don’t understand the obsession when you can basically meet plenty of ex-pros, even Tour winners etc. in person once they open their retirement shops or organise training rides for enthusiasts.Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- Actually, it’s more a case of obstruction of the rider behind by messing with his Oxygen mix ;-) (and many are more Sulpho than Nitro by the smell of things)Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- Your logic holds at best during a race and even then, public is supposed to leave riders space and alone, hence authorities who move crowds for riders even at the busiest of climbs. You seem to have an almost perverse sense of intimacy celebrities should allow the public in the name of ENTERTAINMENT. If even training is now part of that entertainment then you know what, make the whole business pay-based. And even then, ask the price for tagging on. before doing so.Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- is this the top tier cyclist caught doping we were promised ?
ChillingCyclist29-01-2026 - Farting while you're on a sprint is mechanical doping. It gives you temporary nitro boost. It's fair to report that.
KerisVroom29-01-2026 - It's a good one, maybe we'll find out 1 day why...
leedorney29-01-2026 - Simply put, the blogger posts to show how he was keeping up with a pro rider (otherwise, he wouldn't keep looking down at his computer and record the numbers). Nothing more to this than vanity and whoring for attention, and when an accident happens, the better for the blogger to get more attention through clicks, and as a result more people commenting (like me) and can subscribe (not me) to the so-called wanna-be instagram 'blogger'. How the world has changed for attention.b3tlla29-01-2026
- Can anything in sport happen anymore without drama, accusations, and sensationalism from social media types? Let it be for Christ sake.
