Remco Evenepoel secured his second Belgian time trial title and views the upcoming weekend's competition as his last intense preparation for the Tour de France. He aims to leverage the flat stages during the Tour's opening week to build fitness and stay safe before tackling more challenging stages. Evenepoel's team, Soudal-QuickStep, will compete to reclaim the Belgian title and support sprinter Tim Merlier in the early parts of the Tour, emphasizing teamwork and strategy as vital components for success.
I would definitely use this weekend as the last heavy block, and that started well. Sunday will be something different, because that course suits a lot of riders.
We have a lot of spearheads in our team, and we're in good shape. The most important thing is to get the jersey back with our team.
