‘Almost embarrassing if they don’t win’ – Jorgenson gives Belgium the favourites tag in Olympic Men’s Road Race

Matteo Jorgenson has named Remco Evenepoel and the Belgian team the role of a standout favourite and strongest team for the upcoming Olympic Men’s Road Race, in which Jorgenson will himself be forming part of a three-rider US squad.

Speaking at length on the Cyclingmolepodcast about the 272km race on Saturday, Jorgenson predicted a wide-open, chaotic event, given the relatively small peloton, the lack of race radios, and the small numbers of riders in each team.
