It was rumoured before the calendar reveal on the 10th of December in Mallorca, but when Remco Evenepoel<\/a> talked to the media, the schedule he outlined did not include the UAE Tour<\/a>. However, as it is being reported, the Belgian will indeed be present at the Emirati race this next February where a battle against Isaac del Toro is to be expected.Evenepoel is going to be starting his season on the 29th of January at the Trofeo Ses Salines, a new team time trial event in the Mallorca Challenge that will see Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe<\/a> start with several riders that will be taking part in the Tour de France later in the year. The Tour will begin with a TTT in Barcelona, therefore a few teams are interested in ramping up the preparation for that specific day already.<\/p>\n

From there on, the Belgian will be racing the Volta a Comunitat Valenciana close to his home in Spain, to test his early-season form. Initially, the schedule he outlined then only had the Volta a Catalunya as the next race, creating a month-and-a-half gap between the two races – with the Ardennes following after Catalunya. Whilst Evenepoel has an altitude camp at Mount Teide scheduled for that period, it was nevertheless odd that he wouldn’t compete for such a large amount of time.<\/p>\n


\nWhilst Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe<\/a>‘s plan is to have Evenepoel to a simple but effective season, the break was substantial and perhaps not beneficial. According to Het Laatste Nieuws<\/a>, the decision has been made to add the UAE Tour<\/a> to the calendar, perhaps with the aid of the race organizers who have made a big push to have the star present.Evenepoel faces off with UAE\u00a0If this does happen, he will be going head-to-head with a few riders that have already confirmed their presence such as Isaac del Toro<\/a> and Jay Vine of UAE Team Emirates – XRG; Antonio Tiberi and Damiano Caruso of Bahrain – Victorious; and David Gaudu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was rumoured before the calendar reveal on the 10th of December in Mallorca, but when Remco Evenepoel…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":386034,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,39733,8396,85,180426],"class_list":["post-404601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-red-bull-bora-hansgrohe","tag-remco-evenepoel","tag-sports","tag-uae-tour"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404601\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
