Remco Evenepoel is in danger of missing the start of the Volta a Catalunya – and a blockbuster duel with Jonas Vingegaard – after heavy snowfall struck Tenerife.

The Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe rider’s wife Oumi said on social media that the pair were ”stuck up on [Mount] Teide,” where the Belgian had been undergoing an altitude training camp.

However, bad weather led to road closures and she expressed concerns on Friday that she and Evenepoel might miss their flight to Barcelona for the start of the event.

”We’re stuck up on Teide for the second day because of the snow… no one can go up or down,” she wrote on Instagram.

”We’re supposed to fly to Barcelona tomorrow (for the race). But not sure we’ll make it.

”Does anyone know how we can get to the airport?”

Evenepoel posted pictures and videos of a white-out in Teide as he endures an unexpectedly anxious build-up to the World Tour event, which starts on Monday – live on TNT Sports and discovery+.However, Belgian journalist Alain Mouton calmed concerns by saying that media reports in Evenepoel’s home country suggested that ”Red Bull will send a helicopter if necessary”.

Mount Teide is a volcano on Tenerife in the Canary Islands, where unseasonally bad weather has been brought about by Storm Therese.

The BBC reported that local authorities have ”activated emergency plans” because of the weather, such as calling off outdoor events, closing roads and cancelling some flights.

Weather warnings will remain in place over the weekend.

Speaking to Cyclingnews, Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe gave the following update: “We are monitoring the situation closely together with our team in Tenerife. At this stage, there are no further updates to share.”

Double Olympic champion Evenepoel was set for an early test of his condition in Catalunya against two-time Tour de France winner Vingegaard and his Visma-Lease a Bike team.

Evenepoel joined Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe from Soudal-Quick-Step ahead of the 2026 season and started the year strongly with a hat-trick of wins at Challenge Mallorca, Trofeo Serra Tramuntana and Trofeo Anratx-Pollenca.

Stage 1 is a 172.7km loop to and from Sant Feliu de Guixols on Monday, March 23, a day for the sprinters.
