The answer: YES. Pedal at very high frequency for 35 terminals. Continue to grind despite a very high pain threshold. Stay in your bubble and see only one lane in front of you without moving your position on your machine. This is, roughly speaking, what is asked of Remco Evenepoel this Sunday during the timed effort towards Cesena. This type of effort is, he knows, one of his strengths. Belgian exercise champion, he excels in this area and the position he adopts on his bike makes him unique.
Despite his slight downturn on Saturday in the I Cappuccini climb, Remco Evenepoel remains the big favorite for this Sunday time trial. “My opponents showed they were therehe declared this Saturday evening. Me, I want to strike a blow this Sunday.” Sure of himself, he hopes to put everyone within almost a minute as he did last year at the Vuelta. At the time, over 33 kilometers, it took Primoz Roglic 48 seconds. During the initial time of this Giro eight days ago in Ortona, the Slovenian conceded 43 seconds to our compatriot. And over a much shorter distance: 19.6 kilometres.
In the absence of Filippo Ganna, who has returned home to take care of Covid, Evenepoel is more than ever the favorite this Sunday. Two questions, however. On Saturday, he admitted to having a little pain in his legs. If this is the consequence of the two falls that occurred on Wednesday, nothing says that these pains will be completely gone. In addition, rain is forecast for the entire route, which will make the roads very slippery. It will therefore be necessary to see which runners will remain a little on the restraint and which are those who will go to the ground.
Let’s hope for him that Remco Evenepoel will manage to play with the elements without breaking and express his full power. In this case, he should not only take the pink jersey from the Norwegian Leknessund, who are only eight seconds ahead of him, but also take time from his rivals for the final victory in Rome.
