The conclusion to the Tour de France last Sunday in Nice has sent some riders into the road race at the Paris Olympics in the best possible shape. For others, the race is on to recover from three grueling weeks in time for Saturday’s time trial. One rider who might still have wobbly legs is Remco Evenepoel.
Belgium ’s Remco Evenepoel , wearing the best young rider’s white jersey, strains as he crosses the finish line of the twentieth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 132.8 kilometers with start in Nice and finish in La Couillole pass, France, Saturday, July 20, 2024. Belgium ’s Remco Evenepoel , wearing the best young rider’s white jersey, rides in the group yellow jersey as they climb during the twentieth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 132.
The race begins at Invalides and ends at the gilded bridge of Pont Alexandre III. All the riders will pass by Notre Dame, the Place de la Bastille and the former royal residence at Chateau de Vincennes, along with several more of Paris’ iconic sites. The 27-year-old from Brownsburg, Indiana, has overcome a lot to become the favorite to win gold in Paris. Dygert was in a career-threatening crash at the world championships in 2020 that derailed her plans to race for gold the following year at the Tokyo Games, then dealt with a series of injuries and illnesses along with some off-the-bike-hurdles in her personal life.
