Later this summer, Remco Evenepoel will challenge for the Maillot Jaune at the Tour de France for the first time in his career.
After finishing second last week at Paris-Nice, securing his first-ever win on French soil in the process, Evenepoel was seen doing some reconnaissance of the potentially key, individual time-trial in Nice that replaces the traditional procession around Paris on the final stage due to the Olympic Games coming to the capital.
There is more than just the final stage time-trial that could prove key in the race for the Yellow Jersey at the 2024 Tour de France though of course. Alongside his Soudal - Quick-Step teammates, Mattia Cattaneo and Louis Vervaeke, the Belgian National Champion has also taken the opportunity to explore the snowy Col du Turini.
20.6 km at 5.7%, the Col du Turini is a genuine challenge for Evenepoel and the rest of the Maillot Jaune contenders. The mountain also features on an incredible daunting penultimate stage that sees the peloton climb the Col de Braus (10.2 km at 6.3% ), Col de La Colmiane (7.6 km at 6.8%) and the Col de la Couillole (15.8 km at 7.3%).
Check out Evenepoel, Cattaneo and Vervaeke battle the cold in the video below!

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
