Remco Evenepoel is making his return to racing at next week’s Tour of Britain, with the six-day race marking his comeback after withdrawing from the Tour de France.
The Belgian will be taking on one of his final races for Soudal-QuickStep in the race from Woodbridge to Cardiff on September 2-7 before his move to Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe next season.
He’ll be joined on the Belgian team by Ilan Van Wilder, Ethan Hayter, Luke Lamperti, Casper Pedersen, and Martin Svrček as he prepares for late-season goals, including the time trial and road race at the Road World Championships in Rwanda (September 21-28).
Evenepoel hasn’t raced in over a month since withdrawing from the Tour de France on the road to Superbagnères on stage 14. He later revealed that he had been racing the Tour with a broken rib.
The Tour of Britain will mark Evenepoel’s final stage race for Soudal-QuickStep, while his final outing in team colours is expected to come at Il Lombardia (October 11). In between, he’s set to tackle the Rwanda Worlds and the UEC Road European Championships in Drôme-Ardèche, France (October 1-5).
