A Tour de France rest day separated Remco Evenepoel’s surprising (to say the least!) victory on Sunday’s stage 16, when he beat race leader Tadej Pogačar on the brutal climb to the Plateau de Solaison, and his unsurprising dominance in Tuesday’s time trial, when Pogačar…

After the parade of best one-day riders in last Sunday’s Tour of Flanders, headed by the best of them, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates–XRG), you might expect something similar in next Sunday’s Paris-Roubaix. But don’t. Paris-Roubaix has thrown up more unexpected winners than any other…
