Remco Evenepoel has been ignited on his return to racing at Brabantse Pijl. Like he'd never been away, the Olympic champion has blown the race wide open alongside compatriot Wout van Aert inside the final 50k.
At 48km to go the break were caught, and immediately, both Van Aert and Evenepoel came to the fore with some vicious accelerations at the front of the race. As the all-star Belgian duo threatened to sail away from the rest of their rivals, a massive effort from Israel - Premier Tech's British prodigy Joseph Blackmore managed to bridge the gap and make it a trio at the front.
Is this the final podium settled already? See the attack in the video below!

- He already may be, he left them behind and then took over Pinkabstractengineer18-05-2025
- 3 youngsters out in front and 10 people within 2 minutes. Not very long ago, all it took to gain 2 minutes on every other rider was a big effort in a mountain stage but that doesn’t seem to happen anymore.Mistermaumau18-05-2025
- Poor guy, hope the rest day does him good.Mistermaumau18-05-2025

- Roads outside the capital are some of the best in the world, tarmac smooth as track. Beautiful tea-plantation landscapes, perfect weather, delicious cheap fruit. People are friendly but « sticky » with cyclists. Truck and bus drivers are criminal, you’ll experience feeling like Bernal anywhere busy. Globally not cheap. Genocide museum is peaceful but heavy. Lake Kivu is amazing (also to swim in) but has some dark « mysteries » Take a dirty bike, they’ll clean (chain too) & oil it for 1$. If you have a spare old working bike, consider saving on its return ticket and helping local cycling/triathlon associations, they’re athletes have nothing and they’ll find a way to keep it alive with whatever means, like connecting an old spoke to any broken one to retighten a wheel. Tourist attractions are expensive but pay for useful activities (protecting wildlife mainly). Plastic bags are banned, theft is very badly frowned upon so unlikely, service is generally bad but it helps if you explain what you expect. Go do it, it’s a great experience (if you wait a few more years, cycling friend of mine is building rental homes at the lake and will be organising bike tours).Mistermaumau18-05-2025
- Achilles heal lol. He has more mountain bike results than most full time mountain bikers will ever have.mij18-05-2025
- Primoz certainly had some sh*t luck today, and I feel badly for him, but that's racing. Now we're left an unexpected leaderboard, and I think that it's going to make the rest of this Giro very interesting to watch.
santiagobenites18-05-2025 - Win or lose Egan Bernal is a class act.Cyclingsbestfan18-05-2025
- Wout really needed this win. He needed it much more than Isaac did, and Isaac has the 'consolation' prize of leading the Giro now with a decent margin, so it was a win-win situation.santiagobenites18-05-2025
- He knows how to answer a tricky question that may get him into trouble with his teammates. All the best to him. May he win this GT!
