V belgickém dresu dosáhl takřka všeho, chybí mu poslední cíl. Jsem v nejlepší formě kariéry, věří Evenepoel
V časovce zkrátka nemá konkurenci. Souboj s chronometrem opanoval třikrát na MS, na olympiádě v Paříži, na všech třech Grand Tour a nyní i na kontinentálním šampionátu. V jeden rok tak drží časovkářské dresy ze všech čtyř akcí včetně domácího mistrovství. „Je to splněný sen, ani mi to nedochází. Všechno vyšlo perfektně. Cítil jsem se skvěle,“ liboval si 25letý Evenepoel.Hned po mistrovství světa ho čekal velice náročný přesun z Afriky do Francie. „Věděl jsem, že tento týden musím být co nejprofesionálnější, což se podařilo. Soustředil jsem se na odpočinek a dobrý spánek. Už v pondělí jsem se cítil svěží a ani na vteřinu mě nenapadlo, že bych do časovky nenastoupil,“ svěřil se.Ve středu předvedl suverénní výkon a druhého Itala Filippa Gannu porazil o 43 sekund. „Nikdy si nezvyknu vyhrávat, každé vítězství má zvláštní chuť. Může to vypadat snadně, ale vyhrávat není jednoduché. Půl hodiny jde člověk přes limit. Přestože jsem na takový […]
