Deceuninck – Quick-Step Floors Cycling Team (Netherlands) - Press Release: Kasper Asgreen takes silver in Alkmaar, making it two Deceuninck – Quick-Step riders on the podium.
Remco Evenepoel’s spectacular and fruitful neo-pro campaign continued on Thursday afternoon, when the 19-year-old Belgian overpowered all his opponents en route to another jaw-dropping victory, this time at the European ITT Championships.
Present at the start just five days after becoming the youngest rider in 94 years to win a major one-day race (Clasica San Sebastian), Remco found his rhythm immediately on the new Specialized Shiv and scorched around the 22.4km-long course after a fast start. He set a blistering time at the checkpoint and continued to power ahead, catching his minute-men two kilometers from the line. Evenepoel then clocked in 24:55 – the only rider to go under 25 minutes, thanks to a whopping 53.94km/h average speed – and went straight into the hot seat, where he remained until the very end.
