Wearing rainbow stripes, Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) delivered a dominant performance<\/a> at Chrono des Nations<\/a>, winning by more than two minutes over his closest rivals.<\/p>\n

The World Champion rocketed around the 45.4km undulating course in western France in a time of 49:54. The closest rider to his impressive time was Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), who was 2:11 back. Stefan K\u00fcng (Tudor Pro) was another 17 seconds off the pace for third.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vine and K\u00fcng replicated their placings from a year ago, when they fell short of the best time posted by Josh Tarling (Netcompany Ineso). Evenepoel’s average speed this year, 54.63 kph, was a little more than 2 kph faster than Tarling’s pace.<\/p>\n

“It was the last opportunity to get a win this year, so we came here highly motivated to deliver one final big performance. The course was very well suited to that,” Evenepoel said in a team statement.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m happy to have finally won here.The handling, the speed and the feeling of being one with the bike all felt really good.”<\/p>\n
