R.EV RIDE
R.EV RIDE – RIDE ALONG IN THE WHEEL OF REMCO
After an exceptional year 2022, marked by his victories in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Vuelta and above all a world title, Remco Evenepoel wants to take you on a tour of his training routes, together with some of his Soudal Quickstep teammates.
The first edition of the R.EV Ride will start and finish in Schepdaal, Remco’s hometown, on Saturday 1 July. The menu will feature 5 different routes: 30km (family ride), 85km, 130km and 160km through Pajottenland and the Flemish Ardennes. Remco is eager to take you in tow along his favourite addresses, hills and routes where he laid the foundations for his success today.
And there is more! After your tour, you can also meet Remco and his teammates in the cosy après-bike zone in Schepdaal’s market square. There will be plenty of entertainment for the little ones, so that young and old can get their cycling hearts racing on 1 July.
You will be able to find further details about the rest of the programme here soon.
News
Remco Evenepoel
Remco’s journey has been highly unusual: Before making the leap to cycling, he was a footballer, and a very good and promising one at that. But something changed in the spring of 2017, when he went for a training ride, which was soon followed by his very first race. From then on, he won everything he was able to win at his level in a year and a half: World, European and national Championships, but also a large number of stage races and even one-day races.

Course
From Schepdaal, Remco’s hometown, you get a unique insight into the first routes Remco rode. In the first metres, you pass café “In De Rustberg”, home of one of his many fan clubs.
The route then passes through Brussels and along the edge of the RSCA Adademy, where Remco’s career as a footballer began.
We then return to Neerpede to discover the Pajottenland, Flemish Ardennes and “Pays des Collines”.
A true Belgian route, taking in Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia, just like Remco!
“We are incredibly proud and excited to welcome our World Champion Remco Evenepoel to the R.EV Ride. This event is an amazing opportunity for cycling enthusiasts to share their passion and ride through the beautiful hills of Pajottenland with Remco.

It is up to the athlete to decide how to deal with the information provided during a medical check-up. The organiser bears no responsibility in this respect.
If you feel sick, have to cough, sneeze or have a fever, we advise you to stay at home and not to come to the event in view of the current health situation.
