Remco Evenepoel has raised the white flag. During the fourteenth stage of the Tour de France 2025, the Pau - Luchon-Superbagnères of 182 km, the Belgian withdrew from the Grande Boucle. Already struggling in the first kilometers of the Col du Tourmalet, with 8 km to go before the summit, the reigning Olympic champion decided to get into the team car.
Another complicated day for Evenepoel, who had already suffered a significant delay from Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard in yesterday's mountain time trial: the Belgian started today with a 7'24" deficit in the general classification.
Danish rider Mattias Skjelmose from Lidl Trek also withdrew, another cyclist who has not been able to perform as he would have liked in this Tour.
