Evenepoel no longer wants comparisons with Uijtdebroeks: “Everyone is themselves” | European cycling championships

Cian Uijtdebroeks (17) will soon be riding the European Championship for juniors as a freshman. The young boy can climb and time trial and is already in the interest of several professional teams. The comparison with Remco Evenepoel (20) is therefore never far off, although the latter would rather not want that anymore.

Uijtdebroeks is called by many the “new Evenepoel”, just as Evenepoel is called the “new Merckx”. The leader of Deceuninck-Quick Step wants the comparisons to stop.

“Please stop that,” he writes on Twitter. “I’m not like anyone else, just like someone else is not like me. Everyone is themselves and that should be respected.”

“No one can be a new version of something that he / she has never been and never will be. Merci!”

Reactions from colleagues:

Full for gold in the road race

Cian Uijtdebroeks was a handsome first-year 9th in the European Championship time trial for the juniors. He thus became 2nd in the freshmen. Uijtdebroeks is going full for gold in the road race today.

Also a professional at Deceuninck-Quick Step?

Evenepoel won everything that can be won in the juniors. He became Belgian, European and world champion in the time trial and road trial in 2018, after which he signed a professional contract with Deceuninck-Quick Step. Also the next Uijtdebroeks team?

Will Uijtdebroeks follow Evenepoel and will he also become a professional at Deceuninck-Quick Step, one of the interested teams?
