REMCO EVENEPOEL REACTS TO TOUR DE FRANCE ROUTE: “A TIME TRIAL SO EARLY IN THE PROGRAM GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO WEAR THE YELLOW JERSEY”…Read more
The inclusion of a time trial so early in the program stands out from previous Tours, where individual time trials are often scheduled closer to the end, allowing climbers a greater influence on the overall standings. This year’s structure means that riders like Evenepoel can establish an early lead, which could add a new layer of tactical complexity to the race. “A time trial so early in the program gives me the opportunity to wear the yellow jersey,” Evenepoel commented, noting that this stage will allow him to potentially start the Tour in a commanding position.
Evenepoel’s confidence is well-founded; he has consistently excelled in time trials, having already achieved impressive results in various stage races, including a world championship in the time-trial discipline. His ability to gain precious seconds in a discipline where others may struggle could position him as a serious contender, and an early yellow jersey might force his rivals into a more aggressive approach in the stages that follow. This scenario could set the stage for a thrilling Tour de France, with the GC battle beginning from the very first week.
Yet, the route still holds significant challenges. Evenepoel acknowledges that he will need to manage his form carefully, as mountain stages in the latter half of the Tour will present considerable challenges. The presence of climbers like Pogacar and Vingegaard means that Evenepoel’s team, Soudal – Quick-Step, will need to provide strong support to defend the jersey if he secures it early on.
As anticipation builds for the 2025 Tour de France, Evenepoel’s reaction suggests he’s not just prepared but enthusiastic about the opportunity. His focus and strategy could make for an intense and unpredictable race, with the potential for a new face in yellow at the start of cycling’s most prestigious event.
