Remco Evenepoel celebrated his Liège-Bastogne-Liège victory with an extra large portion of fries but quickly turned his attention to the Giro d’Italia by heading to the Hotel Syncrosfera in Spain, for a final spell of training and simulated altitude.
The Hotel Syncrosfera in Denia has become popular in recent years due to its custom hypoxic hotel rooms which can recreate the atmospheric conditions of staying at altitude. It allows athletes to train intensely at low altitude but helps them boost their oxygen carrying capacity by sleeping high in the hypoxic rooms. Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) have also used Hotel Syncrosfera in the past.
