Lefevere reveals large chunk of Evenepoel's 2025 program: "Sanremo, Tour of Flanders, and then the Tour"
CyclingMonday, 29 July 2024 at 17:13
Currently, he may be the most celebrated man in cycling, partly due to his impressive Tour and his gold medal in the Olympic time trial. Remco Evenepoel reached the podium in the French three-week race and will surely return to the Tour in the future. In the meantime, his team manager Patrick Lefevere has already revealed some other races where Evenepoel is likely to appear.
Evenepoel is also a rider who, in principle, should perform well in the classics due to his explosive sprint. He has already won Liège-Bastogne-Liège twice, and the 2022 World Championship featured a classic course. Therefore, they will experiment with some races that Remco has not yet ridden, Lefevere confirms to DH Les Sports.
Evenepoel to debut in Milan-San Remo in 2025
Lefevere is referring to several classics. "The idea is for Remco to discover Milan-San Remo and the Tour of Flanders in 2025. He will also participate in Paris-Nice or Tirreno-Adriatico and races in preparation for the Tour of Flanders: Dwars door Vlaanderen or the E3 Harelbeke," said Lefevere. Normally, the Belgian will then work towards another participation in the Tour de France. "And he will also return to Liège-Bastogne-Liège."
The unconventional team boss also reflected on the Tour and the time trial. Lefevere was not surprised by his protégé's gold medal, as he had seen it coming from afar. "To be honest, I expected it a bit. He leaves nothing to chance. Sunday evening, after his third place in Nice, he didn't last long at the party we organized in Antibes. And on Monday, he was already back on the bike. He has a perfect lifestyle. I also think he is a favorite for the road race on Saturday," said Lefevere.

- Van Aert is really handsome. He can influence me all day! Ditto for Philipsen. Why do you think many of us love cycling?: to see heroic attempts at climbing mountains at high altitudes or to watch speedsters sprint for the finish line or to watch a human being ride at break neck speed down a tricky descent? No, it's all about their lean physiques and muscular legs. (apologies for objectifying these dedicated and amazing athletes).BarwonHeadsUp25-10-2024
- It is unfortunate that the author can't feel the joy that Pogacar brings to the sport and his fans who are legion and I for one feel lucky to have watched such a memorable performance and historic season From the Strada until yesterday with multiple wins in stages in both tours and beyond dominance in the World's. He is proud to wear the Rainbow stripes, shows his leadership to protect his fellows and is as courteous and sportsman-like as the sport allows. He goes early to not have to respond to each attack as all the rest would make him do it. Any racer who could would do the same. Don't "grow tired" of greatness as it is always fleeting.ccrider13-10-2024
- What load of rubbish. Pog is likely a once in a generation cyclist, the like of which hasn't been seen since 'the Cannibal '. How many people were complaining that Merckx was making racing predictable? I remember this year's World RR as one of the most exciting I've watched. Mainly BECAUSE Pog was the favourite and launched what everyone thought (Pog included) was a suicidal attack with 80km to go. For the next 2 hours, I was on the edge of my seat thinking "this is too much, even for Pog". Maybe Zonnefeld prefers the snooze-fest that is a bunch sprint? Like most people I know, I can't watch two hours of the bunch riding very fast... I wait for the final 5km and watch just the sprint. In any event, most races are won from a sprint or lone break. What difference does it make who makes the lone break? Ultimately, the other contenders will have to figure out a way to beat Pog. Even if that means collaboration between teams. It's going to be an exciting few seasons, until the next Pog arrives on the scene. If this is boring, heaven knows what exciting looks like!Michael513-10-2024
- This is not a gravel race. UCI fail, from the surface they are on to team tactics. In what country was the first "gravel race" in what country is the most popular gravel race? Go with the race model that created the discipline.
Barnes127411-10-2024 - And don't forget he has now won 4 of the big 10 races (Grand tours, Monuments and WC/OG) in one year with a chance to make that 5. (5 has only been done once before)Joostmehrtens05-10-2024
