Recently crowned Time Trial World and double Olympic Champion Remco Evenepoel will be lining up at the Coppa Bernocchi on Monday looking to repeat his victory at the one-day Italian race, in the lead-up for the final European WorldTour race of the season, Il Lombardia next weekend.
After being active early in the prestigious Giro dell’Emilia yesterday, the Soudal-QuickStep rider initiated the move that was countered by Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) who then took off for a longe-range solo flyer to victory. Surprisingly, Evenepoel who seemed to be the most likely rider to challenge the world champion, pulled out of the race with around 25km to go.
