Seeing professional cyclists in 'normal clothes' is always a rarity, such are the sponsor commitments and plethora of team-branded casual kit available to riders in the modern era. But in Mallorca on Wednesday, it was a man dressed simply in a hoodie and blue jeans that cycling's international media had flocked to see, as Remco Evenepoel started his public time with Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe.
Tied until December 31 to continue wearing Soudal-QuickStep kit in training and unbranded clothing while with his new team, Evenepoel turned up to a highly-attended media day with only matching Puma shoes to connect him with his teammates and management, who all donned Boss-branded team clothing.
