The 24-year-old took his eighth win of the season following another dazzling display.
Remco Evenepoel left everyone speechless once again as he achieved glory in the most beautiful city in the world for the second time in the space of just a week, after blasting to an incredible victory at the end of a memorable race that cemented his status as one of the best riders in history.
It was a huge exhibition of panache from the Belgian, who produced a masterpiece as he continued his exceptional season on a course build around the iconic Montmartre – one of the most bohemian and charming neighborhoods in the world and the place where the likes of Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso created artistic heritage.
Third overall and winner of the white jersey at the Tour de France last month, Evenepoel did what he does best Saturday afternoon: on the string of short but hard climbs that punctuated one of the longest races of the year, Remco rode everyone off his wheel and arrived alone at the finish line situated just 200 meters from the most famous landmark of the city, where he had plenty of time to celebrate a resounding triumph and a magnificent and unique double for a male rider at the prestigious competition.
