Evenepoel's controversial brazenness: defies the ICU by climbing his socks as soon as he leaves

• Mundial.Dennis revalidates gold and the great Evenepoel amazes again

Remco Evenepoel not only astonished this Wednesday in the time trial of the cycling World Cup with his second place, with silver at 19 (he was junior champion last year, on the road and against the clock). Also by the gesture of impudence with which he challenged the rules of the UCI as far as the measures of the socks that the cyclists must carry.

As it has been happening during all the tests of the World Cup in Yorkshire (England), the Belgian was forced to take off his socks before taking the start. In October 2018, the International Cycling Union established that "the socks and shoes used in the competition cannot be raised above the height defined by half the distance between half of the lateral malleolus and the middle part of the head of the fibula . "

But, shortly after leaving for Harrogate's goal, Evenepoel, with all the calm, has soared the socks again, which has raised the controversy.

Finally, the Belgian was 46.07 seconds faster than the Italian Ganna in goal, although more than a minute from the winner Rohan Dennis. The runner-up comes to him with 19 years and with four margin in the U23 category to which he should belong.
