How is Remco Evenepoel after the crash?

Remco Evenepoel’s Tour de France hasn’t started in the best way. After losing 40 seconds to Pogacar and Vingegaard already in the first stage due to crosswinds, the Belgian rider was involved in a crash in the final kilometers of today’s stage.

Fortunately, since the incident happened within the last 5 kilometers, he didn’t lose any time thanks to the race’s time neutralization rule (which applies in case of crashes or mechanical issues), and most importantly, he seems to have come out of it practically unscathed—just a knock for him. This was confirmed, as much as possible, by Soudal Quick-Step’s sports director Tom Steels, who, according to WielerFlits, said: “Remco seems to be fine, but we still have to see if he really is. Let’s hope he’s okay.”

In any case, he was seen smiling at the finish line, although holding his right arm over his ribs.
