Remco Evenepoel had a quiet day at the Tour of Italy on Friday. The world champion climbed the Gran Sasso d’Italia with the riders of the classification. “I had a good feeling today,” said Evenboul. Spurza And VTM.

The expected spectacle did not materialize on the long final climb. According to Evenepoel, this had to do with headwinds. “4 or 5 Beauforts, he said, and then not much can happen. How do I feel? Well, I won the race. You never know there will be gaps, especially on the uphills, riders can come to a standstill.”

“The enemy doesn’t mean anything, but it’s always nice to win that enemy,” Evenbühl continues. “It was better to stay out of trouble. The former is better than the latter.” Moreover, the Belgian from Soudal Quick Step is still talking about a tough day. “It was a long day, and we were on the bike for about six hours. It was also cold at the top and the downshift wasn’t optimal either. This is going to get into the clothes.”

Since the riders of the classification did not test each other, Andreas Leknessund also stays in the pink a little longer. “That’s perfect. Now I hope I can get through tomorrow safely. I think it’s going to be a flight for the runaways. I put it all in on Sunday.”
