The arrival of Evenepoel also has consequences for the division of roles within the team. Teammate Gianni Vermeersch mainly sees opportunities. “Yes, absolutely. That is good for the team. We are strong across the board, but to really catch a big fish in the Tour of Flanders, you need someone of the caliber of Tadej, Mathieu or Remco.”
Vermeersch hopes for a top result on Sunday. “For us it is an opportunity for a good result. Preferably not an April Fool, but a fat fish.”
