His victory last month in San Juan seemed even logical considering that the third was a 'forties' Oscar Sevilla and that his biggest rivals, a priori, were the Portuguese Nelson Oliveira and the young Frenchman Guillaume Martin.
But this afternoon, Remco Evenepoel has taken the general of the Volta to the Algarve ahead of such contrasting runners as Miguel Ángel López, Rui Costa, Tim Wellens, Dan Martin, Vincenzo Nibali, Greg Van Avermaet, Michal Kwiatkowski or Geraint Thomas .
And not only that.
The young man, who turned 20 last January, beat all of them in the big stage with a final at the Alto da Fóia and this afternoon in the individual time trial , where he beat specialists like Rohan Dennis or Stefan Küng. Ridiculous.
It is the third victory of Evenepoel in a lap by stages after that achieved in San Juan and last year in Belgium. In addition, it already has a San Sebastian Classic , a gold in the chrono of the European Championships and two stage wins in Algarve, Belgium and San Juan.
