That was a bit of a scare for Remco Evenepoel at the World Time Trial Championships! On the starting podium, his chain came off. The mechanic on duty put it back on just in time, but it was close for the Aerobullet Van Schepdaal, who was alerted by the incident!
A cameraman meticulously captured the event, but Evenepoel wasn't too happy. The leading Belgian favorite slapped the camera away in a rather angry fashion.

MrYuck23-11-2024 - It seemed that he was focusing forward at the time of the crash, after seeing a quick video snippet. But one thing I think he should focus on more intently is breaking a bad habit he has, right now. And that is his constant looking over his shoulders. He does that so much, that I am very sure it is not good for him. Simply watch videos of the greats of CX and you will see very little of that constant looking over their shoulders. That is a behavior that betrays a bit of insecurity on his part. He shouldn't be so concerned, incessantly, about what is over his shoulder. He needn't worry they didn't all disappear. He neds to keep his focus more ahead of himself, and he needs to pay a bit more attention to himself, in a confident manner. It is very frustrating to watch, because it is apparent that he has a lot of potential, and is in much better shape thwan many of his competitors, but the mental game needs to be sharpened more, because that part of strategy plays a huge part in the final results
