Tadej Pogačar has welcomed the late addition of Remco Evenepoel to his opposition for the Tour of Flanders on Sunday, admitting on Belgian TV that while he was slightly surprised to see the announcement on April 1 of his debut, rumours had already been pointing to that possibility for months.
The World Champion arrived in Belgium on Thursday evening at the team hotel in Waregem, and quickly appeared on Sporza's Vive le Vélo show, sporting his bleached blonde hair as he took questions from Karl Vannieuwkerke beside teammate Florian Vermeersch.
