A day to remember for the young Belgian, who powered through the rain to produce a perfect performance.
One week after concluding his debut Tour de France on the podium after three incredible and memorable weeks, Remco Evenepoel added another huge win to his impressive palmares in the capital of France, which this year didn’t feature in the Grande Boucle for the first time in the race’s history.
His success, a dominant and impressive one that came on the back of a world-class ride on the charming but wet streets of the city inextricably linked to the Roaring Twenties – a decade whose huge cultural influence is felt even today – confirmed that Evenepoel isn’t just one of the finest riders against the clock in the world, but in the entire history of the discipline.
The 24-year-old Belgian has now won a time trial race at all three major international events, the National Championships and all three Grand Tours and is now sitting on a remarkable 57 victories since turning pro with Soudal Quick-Step in 2019.
