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.
