All Belgian media are ready: these are busy days for the entire Evenepoel family
Mama Agna doesn’t leave behind in the party crowd
The atmosphere is already good among the fans, but the flight of the world champion is delayed by a few minutes and is expected around 1.30 pm.
Of course dad Patrick and mom Agna are on post to hold their son in their arms later
The atmosphere is already good
The first fans have already arrived and are having a party.
When boredom strikes, Evenepoel still has teammate Julian Alaphilippe by his side. The Frenchman will also travel back to Europe after the World Cup.
The arrival time of flight UAE33LR is delayed by five minutes. It’s a matter of not showing up too early in the arrival zone of Zaventem…
It has been six weeks since Evenepoel was still in Belgium. He has not been home since his departure for the Vuelta on August 17. After his triumph in the Vuelta a España, he immediately traveled to Australia for the World Cycling Championships.
The ceremony of Evenepoel will follow next Sunday. First, the brand-new Vuelta winner and world champion is crowned an honorary citizen in his home village of Schepdaal, then he is honored on the Grand Place in Brussels.
Next Tuesday, Evenepoel will ride his first race in his rainbow jersey with Binche-Chimay-Binche. The organizer of the Walloon semi-classic announced this on Monday evening. The Memorial Frank Vandenbroucke is also the Belgian farewell match of Philippe Gilbert.
13.20, that is the scheduled time when Remco Evenepoel lands back in Belgium. The world champion will be awaited by a crowd of fans. Follow the entire event live here.
