Less than a week after his third place in the Tour de France, Remco Evenepoel won Olympic time trial gold in Paris today.
“I cannot describe the feeling I had on the podium”, Evenepoel told media after accepting his medal.
“It’s a magical moment in my life. We watched the women’s race before we got into our warm-up and we saw the crashes so we decided not to take any risks in the corners and to push a bit more on the straights, and it was a good strategy.”
“With a third spot in the Tour de France and a victory here, tiredness doesn’t matter, the motivation and the positive feelings overtake everything,” Evenepoel said.
