Could Remco Evenepoel finally make his debut in the Tour of Flanders in 2026? Odds are increasing again, say Belgian media

Nokere Koerse 2019: Remco Evenepoel (L) in one of only two participations in a cobbled Classic, both six years ago.

As far back as early 2024, former QuickStep manager Patrick Lefevere had already raised the possibility of Remco Evenepoel riding the Tour of Flanders "one day". With a new team beckoning for Evenepoel next year, there is a fresh wave of speculation that April 2026 could finally be the year when Belgium's biggest cycling star makes his debut in Belgium's biggest bike race.

The Belgian daily Het Laatste Nieuws claimed on Wednesday that "the flirt with the Tour of Flanders is gaining more and more ground in Evenepoel's mind," while a first-time participation in Milan-San Remo is also on the cards for 2026.
