REMCO EVENEPOEL AWARDED PRESTIGIOUS KRISTALLEN FIETS TROPHY FOR BEST BELGIAN RIDER OF THE YEAR
The Kristallen Fiets Trophy is given annually to the Belgian rider who has displayed exceptional performance, and this year, Evenepoel was the clear frontrunner. The 24-year-old’s achievements in 2024 have been nothing short of extraordinary, including standout performances in both stage races and one-day classics. Evenepoel’s victory at the **2024 Liège-Bastogne-Liège** and his strong showing in the **UCI Road World Championships** in Zurich were among the highlights of his season, solidifying his reputation as one of the most talented all-rounders in the sport.
Evenepoel’s ability to excel in both time trials and mountainous terrain has earned him praise across the cycling world, and his aggressive racing style continues to captivate fans. He also competed in the **Tour de France** and other Grand Tours, where his relentless pursuit of stage wins and overall standings made him a serious threat to the established elite. His tenacity and fighting spirit have not only made him a favorite among Belgian cycling fans but also an international star.
Receiving the Kristallen Fiets Trophy is a testament to Evenepoel’s continued growth and maturity as a rider. Despite facing setbacks earlier in his career, including a horrific crash in 2020, Evenepoel has bounced back stronger each year. This year’s award is particularly meaningful, as it reflects his journey from a prodigious young talent to an established leader in the peloton.
In his acceptance speech, Evenepoel expressed his gratitude for the honor and dedicated the award to his teammates, coaches, and fans who have supported him throughout his career. “This trophy means so much to me. It’s not just a reflection of my own hard work but also the efforts of everyone around me. I’m proud to represent Belgium at the highest level,” Evenepoel said.
The Kristallen Fiets Trophy further solidifies Evenepoel’s place among the legends of Belgian cycling.
