Olympic glory for Remco Evenepoel who certifies his double in time trial and road race

Incredible last month for Remco Evenepoel who, after achieving a great third place in the 2024 Tour de France, arrived at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with the time trial as his main objective. A gold that he achieved with total ease just a week ago. However, he was not among the top favorites in the betting for the road race where, surprising with a brutal counterattack 40 kilometers from the finish line, he managed the feat of winning both gold medals in road cycling. Speaking of doubles, France closed the podium with Madouas and Laporte.

Neither Van der Poel nor Van Aert, the gold in Paris 2024 is for Remco Evenepoel after a monumental attack

Once again, high-caliber cycling that we have been able to enjoy in the road race of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, one of the craziest races in this sport as it is made up of a peloton of just 90 cyclists with teams of maximum 4 members. A race that has served to crown Remco Evenepoel in the cycling Olympus, who once again delighted us with an exhibition of his skills, like the one that led him to victory in the World Championship held in Australia two years ago or like the ones that have allowed him to have two Liège-Bastogne-Liège in his prestigious record.
