Two weeks after a high-speed crash in the Basque Country that left Remco Evenepoel with a fractured broken collarbone and shoulder blade, the Belgian rider is reportedly recovering well and will apparently head to an altitude training camp in May, with the Tour de France still a major goal for the summer.
