The King of the Belgians stands ready. They have booked out the Grand Place in Brussels for 1 August, the week after the Tour de France. Whoever are the most famous Belgian musicians of the moment, let's say it's still Gotye, have been scheduled.
This will all be needed, of course, for Remco Evenepoel's victory celebration after the 26-year-old returns home with his maillot jaune, fresh from winning the Tour, the first Belgian champion since Lucien Van Impe in 1976. Three wins from three for his new team, Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe, and the hype train is very much on the rails.
