Remco Evenepoel blew away the competition on Saturday in the time trial of the Volta ao Algarve. Of course, this required good legs in the first place, but the winner was also very pleased with the material. His monster resistance was particularly striking. The leader of Soudal Quick-Step had a front chain with no less than 62 teeth, he told afterwards. The last news.

“We have adjusted the bicycle position a little this winter and the mechanics and the performance team have also figured out all kinds of things, in terms of shifting and all kinds of other things,” says Evenepoel, who has sat a little lower and ‘slightly more compact’. “I think we have just taken a serious step forward in all areas.”
As far as this ‘resistance’ was concerned, Evenepoel said that he rode with a 62 front wheel in the time trial of the Volta ao Algarve. “We made that choice because of the course – it went downhill a lot. I thought it was a limit myself. Our good friend Victor Campenaerts started this, we ‘stole’ it from him. It went very well. I can only be satisfied with the work of the entire team.”
