Remco Evenepoel is naturally ambitious and never afraid to speak his mind but as the final countdown to the Grand Départ began on Wednesday, when it came to explaining his 2025 Tour de France goals, rather than overstate his case for a top result in Paris, the Soudal-QuickStep leader preferred to measure his words carefully.
Evenepoel is still hoping and aiming for another place on the final podium, he confirmed, perhaps alongside Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike). He also wants to win the stage 5 time trial, which could even put him in the race leader's yellow jersey.
