Rome, 29 January 2025 - May the current period not be particularly fortunate for Remco Evenepoel it was already clear at the beginning of December, when the open door of a postal van hit during a training session caused him very serious damage to his right shoulder that will take a long time before becoming just a bad memory. Added to this is a misadventure in its own way always linked to the world of the postal service.

 The runner of Soudal Quick Step in fact he suffered the theft of a credit card, with 9.000 € that have disappeared from his bank account. The meager, meager consolation is that the Olympic road and time trial champion is not the only victim of the postman of Anderlecht, who in this way fraudulently pocketed 19.500 €. The stolen goods were traced to the home of the crook, who in this way was able to finance his gambling addiction. The public prosecutor has therefore requested 18 months of prison for the postman, who will know his fate next 27 February. For that date back in the race of evenepoel will still be far away, especially after the not so comforting news that emerged after the last check-up carried out on the incriminated area, affected by the fracture of the scapula, hand and rib. The Belgian in fact has a nerve problem that makes the entire area weakened and numb, to the point that even the Classics of spring seem to be at high risk.

Vinokurov's statements

Meanwhile, at home XDS Astana we are already thinking about the future thanks to the general manager Alexander Vinokurov, who at the microphones de The Team he raised the alarm about the fate of his team. "We have no riders who can win the Grand Tours, but we can still get great results. We have worked hard to understand which routes are suitable for us thanks to a program developed by an analyst who tells us which races to run and which not to run to collect as many points as possible. For example, we have given up on Back to the Algarve, because at the start there are jonas vingegaard e Primois Roglic, in addition to the runners of theUAE Team Emirates XRG. We have no choice: if we want to survive - continues the Kazakh - we must remain in the World Tour. I am convinced that we will be able to reverse the trend and find our place among the best teams in the world also thanks to the marriage with this new sponsor". It ends with a background story on the market which concerns precisely theUAE Team Emirates XRG. "I tried to convince Mauro Gianetti (the general manager of the Emirati team, ed.) to leave me Juan Ayuso, whose departure I don't think would have weakened them particularly. We also made an attempt to Alexander Vlasov, but that didn't work out either."
