The double Olympic Champion is ready to make his return to competition this week.
Remco Evenepoel has had a summer to remember, which saw him finish on the podium in his first Tour de France, as well as becoming the first male rider to complete the double of winning both the road race and the time trial at the Olympic Games.
To commemorate his historic achievement at the Paris games, Soudal Quick-Step have prepared for Remco a special jersey, shorts, and socks combination to wear in his coming races. Working with our clothing partners at Castelli, the garments have been designed to incorporate a gold band, marking the Olympic gold medals, while still featuring the rainbow bands that Remco proudly wears as a former World Road Race Champion.
The jersey also features Remco’s name on the back, which is underlined in gold, and will be seen for the first time, along with a special gold Evade 3 helmet and SL8 bike provided by Specialized, and Oakley Sutro Lite Sweep glasses at the Tour of Britain, his first race since achieving the historic double.
Speaking of his new apparel, Remco said: “I am really proud to wear this special kit. The last months have been an amazing part of my career and being the first man to win the double of the road race and time trial at the Olympic Games is something that dreams are made of. To be able to celebrate it with this kit is something that makes me very proud and I want to thank everybody involved in the process and details of marking what happened in Paris in this special way.”
