His superiority is such that he can afford this kind of levity. On Sunday, during the 2nd stage of the Giro, Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) pulled himself out of the peloton to… clap his companion’s hand, present on the side of the road. The unusual scene, in which the Belgian has a smile on his face, was posted on the Instagram account of his wife, Oumaïma Rayane, with the following caption: “I encourage you everywhere, all the time! “.
This gesture did not disturb the reigning world champion, who had a particularly quiet second stage – won by Jonathan Milan (Bahrain Victorious) in the sprint. He did not suffer from the collective fall, which occurred at 3.8 kilometers and which undermined some contenders for the final victory, including Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers)
Designated favorite of this Tour of Italy, Remco Evenepoel assumed his entry status, winning the initial time trial hands down, 22 seconds ahead of Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers), yet a great specialist in the test. Winner of Liège-Bastogne-Liège for the second time in a row at the end of April, Evenepoel launched an assault on this Giro with the final victory in sight.
