Will we see Remco Evenepoel in action at the upcoming UAE Tour? According to Het Laatste Nieuws, the Belgian from Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe has added the race in the United Arab Emirates to his schedule.
According to the Belgian newspaper, the organizers of the UAE Tour have succeeded in convincing Evenepoel's team to let him participate. Originally, a high-altitude training camp was planned during the period of the stage race (February 16-22), but this has been postponed, according to HLN.
In the stage race, the double Olympic champion will have to face riders like Isaac del Toro and Jay Vine from UAE Emirates-XRG. The route for this year's edition has yet to be revealed yet.
Evenepoel already won the UAE Tour in 2023, when he outpaced Luke Plapp and Adam Yates. He will start his season at the Trofeo Ses Salines in Mallorca on January 29. After that, he will race the Tour of Valencia (February 4-8).
