After his final race day (and victory on new equipment) at the Chrono des Nations, the Belgian headed to the U.S. for what has become a well-known sponsor tour. A Strava track log from a photo shoot on Tuesday showed that his legs are still in excellent shape.

Remco Evenepoel shows enduring form in the USA
Evenepoel landed in LA on Saturday, October 24, and immediately shook off the jet lag with a run of just over 6 kilometers, together with his team leader and confidant Klaas Lodewyck.
A few hours later, the two had to be ready for a Specialized social ride covering 48 kilometers.

Evenepoel scouts the time trial course for the 2028 Olympic Games
Evenepoel was also kept busy in the days that followed by Specialized, which supplies bikes to Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe.
Last Sunday, he rode the time trial course for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, alongside Finn Fisher-Black and Jai Hindley. Demi Vollering, sponsored by Specialized at FDJ United-SUEZ, was also there.

Evenepoel sets Strava record during a photo shoot
After just a run on Monday, Tuesday brought a photo shoot with Specialized, which went by pretty quickly.
Evenepoel rode nearly 34 kilometers at just over 40 kilometers per hour. He promptly set a new Strava record. The 27.69-kilometer “Double Reservoir Loop” segment was completed in 40 minutes and 18 seconds.
As a result, Evenepoel was—almost by accident—23 seconds faster than the previous record, which dated back to 2018. Tellingly, the Belgian added a “😅” to his Strava caption. Oops!
Red Bull reflected on a their first year with Evenepoel
Remco Evenepoel’s first season with Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe brought 14 victories and second place in the Tour de France.
Team manager Zak Dempster said the team learned that a gradual build-up and skipping the Dauphiné helped Evenepoel reach excellent form, giving them confidence for the future.
In 2027, Evenepoel may race less often, with the team prioritising a Grand Tour while still considering races such as the Tour of Flanders.

- - I like that there’s finally something to debate beyond whether Tadej will win again. Bring on 2027!samanthak27-10-2026
- - Does the 2027 route have fewer mountain stages than usual, or is the focus just on the time trials? I’m still figuring out how the route shapes who has the best chance.michael5427-10-2026
- - Armstrong’s right that Pogačar is the favourite, but calling it “his race to lose” feels a bit premature when the parcours gives Evenepoel so much room to gain time.bikebuffj27-10-2026
- - Two TTs, and one of them is 38 km? That could make the GC battle much more interesting. Still, the mountains will have their say.patriciaw27-10-2026
- - Dumoulin makes a strong case. Remco can turn 71 km against the clock into a serious advantage, though Pogačar is hardly a slouch in a time trial either.andrewf27-10-2026
- The article makes the new roster sound like a guaranteed fix, but big names don’t always click straight away. Ciccone and Pidcock both like having leadership, so it’ll be interesting to see how they share it. I hope it works, though.gearguru3326-10-2026
- I’m still learning how the UCI points work: does finishing 12th mean they’re automatically invited to every WorldTour race, including the Tour, or are there still extra conditions? Seems like a huge step for the team.davidm26-10-2026
- Hayter could be a great addition if he gets back to his best. The team’s got proper options now, not just one superstar doing everything.sprocketspiny26-10-2026
- Four times Hermans’ score is a pretty stark stat. The signings look promising, but a deeper roster only matters if they can stay together when the big races get selective.julien26-10-2026
- Fifth in the world while carrying that much of the team’s points is some effort. Ciccone and Schmid should make a real difference in the finales—Pidcock might finally have someone to take the pressure off before the decisive move.cyclechamp4526-10-2026
