Soudal-Quickstep confirmed on Monday that Remco Evenepoel will this year return to the Vuelta a España, which he won in 2022.
The reigning World Champion, Evenepoel had initially targeted the Giro d’Italia this year, where he won two stages and was in the lead before he had to quit because of COVID-19. There was briefly some speculation that he might ride the Tour de France, but the Vuelta was always viewed as a more probable, if still remote, option.
