Remco Evenepool has made his choice. In a video posted this Wednesday by his Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl team, the 22-year-old Belgian prodigy announces that he will be at the start of the 106th edition of his next tour in Italy on May 6. to 28. Therefore, the reigning world champion should not go to the start of the Tour de France (from 1 to 23 July), unless he is surprised.
“I am going to compete in the Giro in 2023, it will be special as I will be wearing the rainbow jersey (world champion), I am looking forward to it,” he explains in this video. This is not a surprise, but confirmation that everyone felt it.
Winner of the Tour of Spain, his first big tour last September, world running champion Remco Evenepoel will compete in his second Giro after the 2021 Giro. He then withdrew before taking the start of stage 18 between Rovereto and Stradella. With three time trials on the program (stages 1, 9 and 20 at 70 km) the course is shortened for him, the Tour de France offers only one event per 22 km.
