This weekend, the final stage of the Vuelta a Espana will reveal the new champion. While this will mark the end of the third and final grand tour of the season, It certainly would be worth the wait for the next season, according to Thibaut Pinot.
Remco Evenepoel has continued defending his red jersey after the 19th stage of the tour. After all his hard work throughout the event, Thibaut Pinot believes it's only logical he wins. “We knew he was capable of doing this kind of feat. I think he’s very close to winning the Vuelta. We feel he’s quite calm in the peloton and I don’t think that much can happen to him from here in Madrid. What he is doing here is the logical next step in his development.”
In the grand tours of next season, Pinot believes that cycling fans will flock to watch Evenepoel against Pogacar and Vingegaard. “When he goes to line up on the Tour, he will be directly one of the favorites. The future battles with Vingegaard, Pogačar, and Evenepoel will make a lot of people dream,” concluded Pinot.

UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
