‘The closer we get to the podium, the more we have to go for it’ – Remco Evenepoel shows Tour de France ambition

The descent off the Col du Galibier exposed Remco Evenepoel’s Achilles heel at the Tour de France, but the Belgian showed his fighting spirit by closing the gap to the chase group behind an untouchable Tadej Pogačar and then winning the sprint for second place on stage 4.

“It’s always good when you finish second behind the best rider in the world,” Evenepoel said after again pulling on the white best young rider’s jersey in Valloire.
