Giro d’Italia: Remco Evenepoel and Egan Bernal duel

The space in the mixed area of ​​the Italian transfer area is already very precious, and Remko Evanper is about to arrive in the narrow area behind the signing desk, and it is always very likely that he will continue to comply with the social distancing regulations, while the reporters are crowded there. . They waited for his obstacles before entering the seventh stage on Friday morning.
Evenepoel wore a white top — “It’s easy to wear, but it’s not mine, it belongs to Attila Valter,” he said — and knotted a microphone net in front of him. The previous afternoon, he seemed to be ready to shoot “Magnolia” in San Giacomo, but after reaching fourth place on the stage, his costume was a bit short.
The Belgian still started from Notaresco and became the most popular player overall, only 11 seconds behind Valter and 5 seconds ahead of Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers). The game is still very young, but the La Gazzetta dello Sport version of the morning has already started in this Giro game as a duel between Evenepoel and Bernal.
Evan Pell said: “I’m disappointed that I didn’t wear a pink jersey. The Giro people are still very long.” “I saw a very good Egan Bernal (Egan Bernal) on Thursday. I think he is motivated. Choose pink. I am surprised that I am getting stronger and stronger every day. This is good. Ineos looks very strong, but so do we. It will be a good choice to duel. With a team that often wins the Tour de France The team battles of the bicycle race will be special.
Like Ineos, Deceuninck-QuickStep ostensibly starts from Turin and provides two options for general classification, but there is no doubt about their respective hierarchical structure. Pavel Sivakov withdrew from the game in the 5th stage, and Evanport (Evenepoel)’s partner João Almeida finished fourth in this game last October. After Sestola lost for 5 minutes, he was no longer on the screen.
On Thursday’s climb to San Giacomo, Almeida was redeployed as a fairly savvy Gregorio, and Evenepoel was also able to rely on James Knox ( James Knox) ​​and Fausto Masnada (Fausto Masnada) and others. The power that Ineos showed when he split the bundle halfway through the stage felt like a message, but Deceuninck-QuickStep responded. They still existed in the shepherd Evenepoel’s number until the upper reaches of the climb, where he then tracked Bernal’s acceleration.
“I think with our team, we can start dreaming,” Evanport said. “We all have a goal, if possible, to get the best GC ranking with me. If it is seventh, first or twentieth, then everything will be fine. If we are good Feeling and excellent team performance end this Giro, that is the most suitable for us.”
This Giro d’Italia is Evenepoel’s first major tour since falling to the pelvis in a crash in Il Lombardia last August. Although he encountered setbacks in his recovery process and subsequently delayed the season, he did not seem to have been affected by the layoffs and arrived in Italy. In the opening time test, he was one of the best GC players, in Sestola (Sestola) only 11 seconds away from Bernal (Bernal), and he was able to compete with San Giacomo (San Giacomo) Colombia He played against Dan Martin (Israel’s starting country) and finished fourth on the stage.
“I think everyone, even me, was surprised,” Evan Pearl said of performing on stage under the worst conditions. “I was surprised because this was the first big test. After experiencing such bad weather and everything, I didn’t expect to perform well in the final because I really don’t like rain. But in the end, I thought about it. Everyone is suffering.”
At this moment, Evenepoel is only a few steps away from Valter’s pink sweatshirt. The difficult ending played at Guardia Sanframondi on Saturday might even provide him with terrain to expel the Hungarians, but since he was eager to chase the bonus seconds earlier this week, it could be deceiving. Sex: The 21-year-old seems to be pushing his thinking further.
Evenepoel said: “[GC] ranks very well, I don’t think it will be better. The main goal is to arrive safely on the rest day, and then from then on, I think the GC battle will break out completely.”
However, this is still the case. Evenepoel is a young man in a hurry. So far, even the 8-month layoffs have not slowed down the meteor. On Sunday, Giro held another summit finish in Campo Felice, where the slope rose by 14% and the asphalt was replaced by gravel in the last few kilometers.
He said: “This will be the second battle in the general classification.” “Giro is still very long, but the pink jersey may change hands before the end of this weekend.”
