De Brabantse Pijl Men Live – Remco Evenepoel returns to racing

Evenepoel says that his injuries were so bad that he even considered quitting the sport all together, but, despite some lingering pain issues, is eager to get back racing again and believes he can be competitive – even taking aim at Tadej Pogačar in the upcoming Ardennes Classics.

One man is attracting all the attention at the start – Remco Evenepoel. Today is his much anticipated return to racing, after a bad injury layoff significantly delayed his start to the season. Whether or not he’ll have the form to be a contender in the Ardennes Classics should become clearer today.

Taking place on its new slot of Friday rather than Wednesday, De Brabantse Pijl signals the transition from the cobbled classics to the hilly classics, ahead of Amstel Gold on Sunday.

Hello and welcome to the 2025 De Brabantse Pijl.
