Evenepoel takes spectacular win at World Championships
Remco Evenepoel (BEL) added to his already stellar palmares today by attacking his rivals in the closing kilometres of the road world championships in Wollongong to win his first rainbow jersey. The 22-year-old was unstoppable as he powered across the line solo, with Christophe Laporte (FRA) and Michael Matthews (AUS) sprinting for second and third respectively.
“It’s something I’ve been dreaming of. After a monument, a big classic a grand tour, and a world championship, I think I won everything I could have this year. I think I will never have another season like this,” he said. “It will be a big party tonight, I’m not going to see my bed I guess.
"I think how we raced today really like a team. Like I said before, we wanted to become a world champion as a team, it didn’t matter how,” Evenepoel said. “It was Wout’s chance or my chance, it was my chance to go from early and Wout was to follow along and sprint. I guess the early attack mde it today. But I just think we deserve it. We really deserve it.”
