"You test me three times a week" - Remco Evenepoel angry with random doping control check
CyclingMonday, 28 August 2023 at 11:30
Remco Evenepoel is very frequently undergoing doping tests however yesterday at the Vuelta a Espana he was visibly upset after the stage, as he was selected for a random check after the tough day on the road.
Looking to recover from the second day out in the rain in Barcelona, Evenepoel looked to get out of the streets and into the team bus right away. That wasn't the case however, he was called for an anti-doping test. "You test me three times a week," he said visibly emotional in footage captured by Het Nieuwsblad.
Today's stage into Andorra will be an important day for the overall classification, the race finally leaves Barcelona after two days of tense and very controversial racing, but they won't find a nice path into the Pyrenees as the first snow of the season as fell in Andorra yesterday exactly.
Cold temperatures, strong wind and some rain will make for another tense and rough day in the peloton, with the summit finish in Arinsal an important test for Evenepoel's form.

- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off.

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
