Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) is on a successful comeback after a winter spent recovering from a complex shoulder injury, winning De Brabantse Pijl on Friday and finishing third in a three-way sprint against winner Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) and runner-up Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) at Amstel Gold Race on Sunday - a race he said he could have won had he not crashed mid-race.
"I have mixed feelings. Positive, because I have come from very far. It is only my second day of racing, and I can come back on the strongest man of the moment. That is motivating, because that had not happened yet," Evenepoel said in a post-race interview with Sporza.
