Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step): “I was too far back at the bottom of the climb”

“I think these first two days have gone pretty well both for me and for my team. We have proven that the shape is there. I need some more power in my legs if I want to follow accelerations like Tadej’s, but that will come as we pack more racing days in. Actually, the legs were there - I was just too far back at the bottom of the climb and had to close a gap between two groups midway, so I burned some matches there that were missing later. Yet I am very happy that I could later come back to Tadej’s and Jonas’ wheels. It was a very hard chase, but I kept pushing because I could see that I was coming closer and closer. It is very good for my confidence that I bridged back with them. On the other hand, we all knew that this was a very specific stage, and that Tadej is the best in these type of efforts. It has been a good GC day, and now I feel a bit like Tadej as I’m wearing the same white jersey that he has been sporting for ages! It is an honour to lead this classification.”
