Remco Evenepoel: "You always have to be ready"

June 8 ^th 2025 - 15:33

"It's a bit of a surprise, I didn't expect to be racing for victory on this stage. When Jonas Vingegaard attacked, it wasn't in a place where he's used to. So I had to work hard to bridge the gap, but I had the legs to do it. You always have to be ready to react to any situation, and I'm happy to have been able to respond to this move. I felt good on this stage, my legs are good, even though I didn't manage to take any bonifications. In the finale, there was a headwind, and I think that in other conditions, Mathieu Van der Poel would have won easily."
