For the Belgian rider of Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe, who has a background with clubs such as PSV and Anderlecht, this is likely the first Arsenal championship he has consciously experienced.
Evenepoel donned the Arsenal jersey and filmed himself while at altitude training. The rider is currently in the Sierra Nevada, in southern Spain, preparing for the Tour de France.
The Belgian will not participate in any more races before the Tour begins in Barcelona, having decided to skip the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

- - ¡Buen artículo! Del Toro ganador y aún así sanción al equipo… el Tour no perdona.patriciaw05-07-2026
- - Feels a bit nit-picky from the jury. They “had nothing to say” otherwise? Plenty of sticky bottles go unnoticed. Consistency, please.andrewf05-07-2026
- - Yellow card for a mechanic is rare! Kavcnik must’ve offered a prolonged shove or adjusted something while the bike was moving. UAE still gets the stage, but those 500 CHF add up over three weeks.bikebuffj05-07-2026
- - Not sure I understand: what exactly is a “pre-filled water bottle” violation? Aren’t all bidons pre-filled? Is this about where/when it was handed up?breakawaybikerd05-07-2026
- - Nice roundup. Del Toro continues to impress, but the real story here is the fines. Rojas getting 500 CHF for Castrillo’s pre-filled bidon is pretty steep, though rules are rules.tourdeforce905-07-2026
- - Qué etapa tan emocionante. Remco jugando al póker y Del Toro apretando sin miedo. Esto promete muchísimo para la general. Bravo.cadencekingm05-07-2026
- - Wasn’t Romain Grégoire on Groupama-FDJ, not “Groupama-FDJ United”? Little editing slip there, lads.gearguru3305-07-2026
- - Three seconds isn’t much but psychologically it’s big. Vingegaard looked comfy on the wheel—no panic, just diesel mode. Classic Jonas.raceready705-07-2026
- - Pidcock saying “reality check” hits. He’s close, but missing that last 2%. Putting a man on the front then not making the move was a bit meh from Pinarello-Q5 though. Mixed signals?cyclechamp4505-07-2026
- - Can someone explain why a “gap on the descent” matters if they were all basically together? Don’t they just pedal harder on the flat to close it? Genuinely curious how that works tactically.michael5405-07-2026
