Remco Evenepoel will join Mikel Landa at altitude camp before return to competition
Cycling
Remco Evenepoel suffered a very harsh crash in early December and only one month later was he able to resume some sort of training, on the indoor bike. Some weeks after he return to the road and is currently preparing for his start of the season. We learn new details about the Belgian's plans.
Evenepoel suffered fractured ribs, scapula, hand, as well as a dislocated collarbone and two bruised lungs. What had initially seemed like a small incident proved to be a list of serious injuries that severely delayed his plans for 2025. He will likely begin his racing on the 17th of April at the Brabantse Pijl, with the Ardennes classics afterwards as his first big goals of the season - although his form will be rather unknown.
Afterwards should come the long preparation plan for the Tour de France which should include an altitude camp, Criterium du Dauphiné and Tour itself. His small amount of race days early on could see him still decide to race a lot in the latter part of the season.
Evenepoel is already taking on long training rides and recently rode together with the team in the recon of Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. This Sunday he did a recon of Brabantse Pijl which takes place near his home in Belgium, a ride of over 220 kilometers. Evenepoel will soon join Mikel Landa and Valentin Paret-Peintre in an altitude camp ahead of his return to racing, this will be the Giro d'Italia block which will be preparing for high-level competition in early April.

- Agreed. World champ and defending P-R champ shouldn’t be Wiebes super-domestique.mobk13-04-2025

- That was a fantastic Paris Roubaix to watch! Mathieu and Tadej were very evenly matched, and in the end it came down to bike handling skills , and not too many can handle a bike quite like Mathieu can. Of course, he probably has every corner and every cobbled section of that route completely memorized by now! Big respect to Tadej for that massive effort, and for digging very deep when it surely looked as if he were bonking.
santiagobenites13-04-2025 - You was awesome Tadej, as usual... a super megachampion, unique! the Tour de France champion, second in his Paris-Roubaix debut... TaEDDy Pogacar!
maria2024202413-04-2025 - Both of them should reach the podium of wins pretty soon, at least ine if them next year if things go well. Tough on Pedersen who could have made it more exciting, impressive endurance from Jasper, interesting bottom half of top 10.Mistermaumau13-04-2025
- A great great race with the expected outcome, more or less. Wow these two are dominant. They’ve won the last 7 monuments, and van der Poel has won two each year for 3 years. They are tied at 8, and Pogacar has two left where he is the favorite. It’s unfair to the rest but that was a slug fest of a race. So fun to watch.RidesHills13-04-2025
- By the way, try to specify details a little deeper next time, I know lengthy text is unpopular but often it’s very useful, like to distinguish between a cobble having the effect of many little hills or a cobbled section :-)Mistermaumau13-04-2025
- Sorry thenMistermaumau13-04-2025
- They made the mistake of asking Kopecky to wait for Lorena and also work for her. Typical Sdworx fail. Kopecly should have been sole leader with Lorena playing foil like Vismaabstractengineer13-04-2025
