Remco Evenepoel is the man of the moment at the Tour de France. As I write this from the lobby of a Campanile hotel, not far from Geneva, a series of ring-led chants float in from the car park where the Belgian has gathered his teammates and team staff, telling them how much he loves them and letting rip on a bottle of champagne
It’s the second night in three that he has done this, and the second stage in two, with Evenepoel winning back-to-back in this Tour de France either side of the rest day.
