Patrick Lefevere questions Remco Evenepoel's focus on stage racing, suggesting he might excel in Classics instead. The former Soudal-QuickStep manager reflects on Evenepoel during a Het Laatste Nieuws roundtable, emphasizing the rider's racing priorities. Rumors circulated about Evenepoel targeting Milan-San Remo and the Tour of Flanders, but he dismissed those plans earlier this year. Currently, he competes in the Volta a Catalunya, having previously won the Vuelta a España and podiumed at the Tour de France. Lefevere draws a parallel with Sylvain Chavanel, a previous team member who thrived in one-day races rather than stage events. Lefevere states, "Sylvain was a one-day rider, as may well turn out to be the case with Remco, too." Evenepoel boasts victories in Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Donostia Klasikoa, highlighting his potential in one-day competitions.
