Here’s Jeremy Whittle’s report from the Pyrenees.
Tom Steels, the manager of Remco Evenepoel’s team, Soudal-Quickstep, speaks: “Like I said this morning, you hope for the best and hope it turns at the moment, but he didn’t turn and he was suffering also. And then I think it’s wiser not to continue and and just recover well.
“He’s also, yeah, he still have some goals this year, maybe if he continue at the condition he had, that maybe the yeah, maybe the rest of the season has lost, so. I mean, yeah. and he was very disappointed.”
