Championships His first race as a cycling professional is going to Remco Evenepoel well. The 19-year-old world champion in the juniors received during the first stage in the Tour of San Juan even compliments of Peter Sagan. Our man in Argentina sought the Slovaak just about the youngest rider of the peloton.

Fun moment for Remco Evenepoel yesterday in the Tour of San Juan. The young man from Deceuninck-Quick Step did in his first course as a cycling professional with excellent handgaven in the peloton. It became a double world champion at junior even to a compliment from Peter Sagan. The Slovaak told Evenepoel that he was good his man was. More reason for our man in Argentina to Sagan with that action to confront.

“What that a compliment to Evenepoel was? No idea…”, cycle Sagan was once again in his typical style around the question. “Remco is a great talent. I’m curious how he will do as a prof. Of the juniorenpeloton to here is a big step. We’ll see how he evolved.”

Sagan reminds himself also had his first match as a pro in 2010 at the age of 19. “That was in Adelaide. A criterion just for the Tour Down Under. I was in the breakaway with Lance Armstrong. For me that was a very big moment.”
