‘It’s one of the most beautiful moments in my life’ – Evenepoel savours Olympic gold but hopes for another super recovery

Remco Evenepoel celebrated his Olympic Games gold medal in Paris on Sunday night and then travelled to Belgium for a few quiet days at home. Still hard days of racing and late nights do not appear to bother him.

After winning the Olympic time trial in central Paris, Evenepoel revealed that he celebrated his Tour de France podium place until four o’clock in the morning last Sunday in Nice but still recovered in time to be at his best for Saturday’s race against the clock.
