Evenepoel Puts Worlds 'Disappointment' to Bed with European Crown
Remco Evenepoel secured the continental title after a 196-kilometer race, becoming the first cyclist to hold every major championship jersey in professional cycling, team representatives confirmed.
- On Sunday, Remco Evenepoel won the European Championships road race in Sencur, Slovenia, narrowly defeating Italy's Giulio Ciccone in a photo finish with a time of 4:16:37.
- Belgian teammates controlled the 196.3km race throughout, neutralizing breakaway threats including France's Pavel Sivakov and dictating pace on the demanding 2.1km Močjnica climb.
- After sliding on a corner during his first attack with 36km remaining, Evenepoel quickly recovered and launched a decisive second move with 32km to go, which only Ciccone could follow.
- Completing his championship jerseys, Evenepoel called the win 'a big relief' after his disappointment at the worlds, validating his status as a versatile champion across road and time trial disciplines.
- Evenepoel plans to skip Wednesday's time trial to focus on Il Lombardia, an Italian Classic missing from his palmarès, where he previously finished behind Tadej Pogacar in recent editions.
