Remco Evenepoel made a strong return to competitive cycling after recovering from a severe shoulder injury, showcasing his ability by winning De Brabantse Pijl and finishing third at the Amstel Gold Race. During the latter, Evenepoel expressed confidence in his performance, indicating he could have won had he not crashed mid-race. He recounted struggles of returning to the front of the race after the crash, emphasizing the impact of energy conservation in future races.
"I think I started the sprint a bit too early. There was a headwind, and maybe I should have gone more to the right, but I am not a sprinter, and I do not dare to look for edges."
"If I can save that energy, I could perhaps attack on the Cauberg or try to ride away on my own. But that will be for next year."
