Remco Evenepoel's 2024 calendar made official - Tour de France GC; full Ardennes stint; battle with Roglic and Vingegaard at Itzulia and Dauphinè; season start at Figueira Champions Classic

It is media day at the Soudal - Quick-Step camp today and the riders are talking about their plans for the 2024 season. Among them is Remco Evenepoel, whose schedule is now official throughout the grand part of the season as he prepares for his Tour de France debut.

Pieces had already been connected over the past few months but they are now official. The Belgian champion will start his season at the Figueira Champions Classic on the 10th of February, quickly followed by the Volta ao Algarve, where he will meet Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel. Then, Paris-Nice follows. After a small break from competition, possibly coinciding with a training camp, he will race Itzulia Basque Country where he'll meet Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic.

Evenepoel will race the full Ardennes tryptic, making his presence felt at Amstel Gold Race, Flèche Wallone and Liège-Bastogne-Liége. Then, Evenepoel will meet the previous two riders again at the Criterium du Dauphiné as he followed the traditional run-up to the Tour de France, where he will be aiming for the best possible result in the GC. The Olympic Games and World Championships are naturally also on his schedule, and he should be racing both road race and time-trial in both.
