Remco Evenepoel's best day yet at the 2025 Tour of Britain on Friday saw the Belgian star taking part in multiple late attacks and still have enough energy left to go for the sprint – only for a mechanical incident to see him overtaken by a large group of rivals within sight of the stage 4 finish.
"I briefly had a gear shifting issue, causing my chain to go onto the outer chainring," he explained after the finish in comments reported by Nieuwsblad.
