Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec: Remco Evenepoel Claims an Aggressive Edition of the Pre-Worlds Test
Logan Jones-Wilkins
Evenepoel won Québec by attacking repeatedly with a Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe squad outnumbered by UAE Team Emirates-XRG and Lidl-Trek. That's the opposite of a cautious pre-Worlds run — he traded team strength for aggression and it worked, breaking clear with Giulio Ciccone and Anthon Charmig before beating Ciccone in the sprint.
Lidl-Trek's own attempts to cover the race's attacks ended up shepherding Evenepoel's move instead of killing it. Tom Pidcock and Paul Seixas, riding for teams with deeper benches, got outmaneuvered rather than outnumbered. This wasn't a form check — it was an aggression-first plan executed live against better-resourced rivals, and the tactics held up.
