Two weeks after Remco Evenepoel\u2019s bizarre crash from the Volta a Catalunya, new video has emerged showing the moment of his strange crash\u2014one that, until now, had largely been pieced together through post-race comments.<\/p>\n
The incident came inside the final kilometre of Stage 3, just as the Belgian was riding alongside Jonas Vingegaard. Then, without warning, Evenepoel hit the deck approaching a roundabout, his race effectively over.<\/p>\n
El video que todo el mundo esperaba.<\/p>\n

The newly surfaced footage doesn\u2019t clearly confirm that, but it does show the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe leader pitching forward over his handlebars, possibly while on the brakes, before sliding hard across the road.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a violent fall\u2014and one that, in hindsight, could have ended far worse. Although he was a bit battered and bruised after, he still finished the race. The next day he didn\u2019t start, citing knee pain, but it thankfully didn\u2019t linger.\u00a0 As we know, he\u2019s continued to race, including a nice debut at the Tour of Flanders where he finished third.<\/p>\n Vingegaard on the crash<\/p>\n Speaking to Eurosport via WielerFlits<\/a>, Jonas Vingegaard admitted the crash caught him completely off guard. He said he didn\u2019t really know what triggered it\u2014just that Remco Evenepoel suddenly went over the bars. It looked, in his words, \u201creally crazy,\u201d and his first thought was simply hoping Evenepoel was okay.<\/p>\n Rather than press on, the Visma \u2013 Lease a Bike rider backed off. He said it didn\u2019t feel right to take advantage at that moment, choosing instead to sit up and let things come back together, with the hope Evenepoel could get going again.<\/p>\n Vingegaard also admitted the finale didn\u2019t unfold how he\u2019d pictured it. He was expecting a bigger group sprint, not a split in the crosswinds that left him alone with Evenepoel. And on that terrain, he said, the Belgian was seriously strong\u2014absolutely flying, low and aero in the run-in.<\/p>\n Despite the Dane seemingly not going for the win, Evenepoel still couldn\u2019t help but chirp him about not pulling through. \u201cIt was clear who wanted to ride to win and who didn\u2019t,\u201d Evenepoel said<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t care much about what others\u2019 tactics are. That\u2019s their problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
