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.
