Evenepoel: Extra Monument, Sanremo in Focus
Remco Evenepoel is on a mission. After claiming the Vuelta a Espana title last year, the young Belgian superstar has set his sights on adding more prestigious victories to his palmares. This year, he's aiming for a monument double: Milan-Sanremo and the Tour of Flanders.
But first, Sanremo. The "Primavera" is the season's opening monument, and it's a race that suits Evenepoel's explosive style. His powerful sprint finish, combined with his climbing prowess, makes him a formidable contender.
Sanremo's unique course presents challenges. The race traverses nearly 300 kilometers, featuring the Cipressa and Poggio climbs before a final dash to the finish line. These challenging climbs will test Evenepoel's legs, but his ability to handle the pressure will be crucial.
The competition is fierce. Evenepoel faces a formidable field, including reigning world champion, Mads Pedersen, and the experienced Italian sprinter, Giacomo Nizzolo.
Can Evenepoel overcome the challenges and claim the coveted Sanremo trophy? It's a question on everyone's minds.
More than just Sanremo: This race marks the start of a busy season for Evenepoel, with the Tour of Flanders just weeks away. He's targeting a double victory, which would be a significant achievement.
The upcoming weeks will be crucial. We'll be watching closely to see how Evenepoel performs in Sanremo and how it sets him up for the rest of the season.
