From the time of his years in crampons, the little Brussels resident asked for rab of bread and jam from his parents, and he left his pockets full in distribution. The resident of the Anderlecht club, born in the year 2000, became Olympic champion in Paris, twice, on the road in the Butte de Montmartre, and on the time trial; world champion, as it should be; Third in the Tour de France last summer, behind Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard; And national hero in a country where the streets bear names of cyclists. Despite the glory, or thanks to her, Remco Evenepoel has not changed, he continues to “give”.
His appearance on the Tour de Romandie is made in the golden halo of his bike, his helmet and his magic pen. It is important not to start autographs because he does not know how to stop. A circular glance to be sure that he has not forgotten anyone. He grabs a felt at the end of the row and signs a kilometer of paper, almost without looking.
