Could Remco Evenepoel have won this Giro? Dirk De Wolf is firmly convinced of this.
Remco Evenepoel’s exit from the Giro was particularly painful. Especially since he was wearing the pink jersey at the time. And since his exit from the Giro, the battle between the GC men has also been moderate.
In the second week there was no wind between the Thomas, Almeida and Roglič. Primož Roglič creaked briefly in the first mountain stage of the third week, but the differences were not great in the end.
Would the Giro have turned out so much differently with the presence of the world champion? “Remco would have won the Giro with his fingers in his nose”, Dirk De Wolf stated Cycling Club Wattage.
De Wolf cited the example of Roglic who was released on Tuesday by his teammate Sepp Kuss, but the Slovenian made up for that on Thursday. However, the differences were still small.
