Wout van Aert supports Remco Evenepoel's surprising entry into the Tour of Flanders this Sunday. Evenepoel, riding for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, makes his debut in this prestigious Belgian Classic after dominating Liège-Bastogne-Liège twice. Despite initial plans to skip the Tour of Flanders, he now joins the race, much to the excitement of fans and competitors alike.
Evenepoel’s participation was confirmed just before Dwars door Vlaanderen, prompting buzz among Belgian cycling stars. Van Aert emphasizes the importance of Evenepoel's presence, stating, "He'd only start if he was going to look for a top result." He expresses optimism about Evenepoel’s contribution to the race, saying, “The Tour of Flanders deserves the best possible field of participants. Remco certainly deserves to be in the mix."
Team Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe aims to challenge the likes of Tadej Pogačar and Mathieu Van der Poel, with Evenepoel potentially being the key to their success. The cycling community eagerly anticipates this clash, marking a significant moment in the season. Van Aert, while hopeful, adds a playful note of caution: “I hope it’s not an April Fool’s joke.”
