Remco Evenepoel (Belgium) is targeting the UEC European Championships time trial title on Wednesday afternoon, even if his status as World Champion means he would not race in the distinctive white jersey with blue bands and yellow stars next season if he wins.
The Belgian’s travel from Rwanda to France went smoothly, and he was able to carry out a final reconnaissance ride on Tuesday afternoon. Now he faces Filippo Ganna (Italy), Joshua Tarling (Great Britain), Stefan Küng (Switzerland) and Mads Pedersen (Denmark) on the rolling 24km course that kicks up to the village of Étoile-sur-Rhône, in southeastern France.
