The cyclist was behind Josh Tarling, from Ineos Grenadiers, in which he covered 45.43 km with the fastest time of 52:02. In third place was Stefan Bissegger, from EF Education-EasyPost, 1:10 behind the Englishman. As a result, the current world champion did not win the rainbow jersey.

“It will keep me alert and awake. If I want to beat Tarling or Filippo Ganna in the future, that will be in the details. These are men with real power. I will have to work hard this winter to progress”, said Remco Evenepoel about the last competition of this year.
The cyclist continued to comment on the match: “If someone is a little better, I have to accept that. I tried my best, I couldn’t go faster than that today. I could have said at the second halfway point, okay, I’ll leave it there. I still followed the character. I still had faith that I could return despite the headwind.”
In an interview, the athlete admitted that although it was a good year, he faced difficulties in delivering his best performance, especially in the Vuelta a España. Now, Evenepoel will take a 67-day break and return for the 2024 Grand Tour with matches on the UCI calendar.
