Cycling, Evenepoel to return to Tour de Romandie 2025

Rome, 3 April 2025 - The return of Remco Evenepoel after the ordeal that began with the accident during training at the beginning of December, it finally has a date: it is not a question of Sunday April 6, day of the Giro delle Fiandre 2025, But say Tuesday 29th April, when will it start? Tour of Romandie 2025.  

The Return of Evenepoel

  In fact, the return date coincides more or less with the calculations made by the Belgian himself, who a few weeks ago had let himself go with an emblematic "-40 days to return". Now the countdown has really arrived in the very last part, the one preceding the Swiss race, which will end Sunday May 4. Confirmation in the startlist of the Tour of Romandie does not exclude a previous twist, with those Ardennes from months indicated by evenepoel as the main objective for the grand return, a breath of fresh air also for a Soudal Quick Step who in this first part of the season has had to deal with many falls and just as many serious injuries to its riders. Perhaps the 2000-born rider could return to the race even earlier, even in the Brabant Arrow 2025, scheduled Friday April 18, but certainly the most convincing test to certify its conditions, beyond the prestige of the event itself, will be the Tour of Romandie, a stage race that will provide an initial snapshot in view of the Tour de France 2025, the stated goal of a season that has yet to actually begin.

Vollering in defense of Van Aert

  From the future to the recent past: the controversy and mockery about the Dwars door Vlaanderen 2025 disputed by the Visma-Lease a Bike, all at the service of a Wout van aert without the right form which would have then in fact delivered the victory to Neilson Powless. In defense of the Belgian, who has fully assumed his responsibilities, a statement from women's cycling is launched Demi Vollering, via a post on your profile Instagram. "I must admit that I also laughed when I saw how it ended with the Visma-Lease a Bike on the run with three men, but after reading and then watching the interview of Wout I changed my mind. We must not forget that we are all human beings. Everyone likes drama and stories where the underdog triumphs. But also Wout It's human: this boy has gone through a very difficult period that perhaps many have already forgotten, not to mention that we are not in his head. Hearing him say that he was wrong and that yesterday's guy wasn't him was painful, but I think that all of this represents a lesson". The Dutchman and his beautiful words are counterbalanced by the process still underway within the Visma-Lease a Bike, with the sports director Grischa Niermann who takes responsibility for his actions, thus giving reason to Matteo Jorgenson, who had placed the blame for the choices made on the flagship. "I consider what happened to be my mistake."
