A week before the Olympics, the best male cyclists in the world gathered in Nice for the final stage of the prestigious Tour de France, a grueling three-week event that serves as the pinnacle of the sport. Among them was Remco Evenepoel, a 24-year-old Belgian cyclist who achieved a remarkable feat by finishing third in the Tour de France.
For most professional cyclists, such an accomplishment would mark the highlight of their career. However, for Evenepoel, it was just the beginning of what would turn out to be a golden week. Following his impressive performance in the Tour de France, Evenepoel went on to claim an Olympic title in the men's time trial event.
