Remco Evenepoel stayed in Nice after finishing second overall in Paris-Nice, no doubt reflecting on his second place overall as he completed two laps of the 34km hilly Monaco to Nice time trial that will crown the winner of this year’s Tour de France in July.
The Belgian had a successful Pais-Nice on his stage race debut in France but also had some regrets. Many considered him the strongest rider in the race but he finished second to Matteo Jorgenson after opting not to chase when the American attacked on stage 6 with Brandon McNulty and Mattias Skjelmose. Evenepoel lost 52 seconds to Jorgenson that day.
