Remco Evenepoel

Biography

2021 was a season of two halves for the young Belgian. In late spring, after more than eight months without any races in his legs – a direct consequence of his Il Lombardia crash in the summer of 2020 – he lined up in Torino for the start of his first Grand Tour, Il Giro. Evenepoel didn’t fail to impress, a string of solid results putting him in second overall and just a couple of seconds from the maglia rosa ahead of the first rest day. Unfortunately, a crash in the second week dealt a huge blow to his ambitions, and Remco was forced to eventually retire, just a few days from the finish in Milano.

But this experience only added more fuel to his motivation and he came back stronger, and just claiming a second consecutive victory at the Belgium Tour just weeks later, a sign of what was to come later in the year, when he racked up five more wins, including another GC victory and the Brussels Cycling Classic on his home roads. Medals at both European Championships races and a bronze in the World ITT Championships confirmed that Remco was back to his best, and now, in his fourth year with the team, is ready to apply the lessons he learned and continue to dazzle with his performances.

“I have already enjoyed a lot of success, and hopefully we can reach our big dreams in the next seasons. I love it here! The environment, the staff, the riders, everything feels so familiar. I am enjoying every single moment spent with this team and feel really, really happy and excited for what the future holds”, said Remco, who last spring extended his contract with the Wolfpack until the end of 2026.
