3 August 2024 at 17:09 Puncture drama for Evenepoel in the gold sprint It became dramatic for the Belgian cycling star Remco Evenepoel, when he punctured with just under four kilometers to go. The Belgian had to change bikes in a critical phase of the sprint. You could see the desperation of Evenepoel, when he had to stop and change his bike. Especially because the riders ride without communication equipment, in contrast to, for example, the Tour de France. Thus, Evenepoel did not know that he had a solid lead back to his rivals. But Evenepoel was ultimately superior when he took gold in the road race in the French capital. Finally, he got off his bike after crossing the finish line and celebrated his second Olympic gold. Evenepoel also won the time trial. The Belgian was one minute and 11 seconds ahead of French Valentin Madouas. Christophe Laporte also won French bronze. The Norwegian chances were cut short. With 25 kilometers left of Saturday’s road race, the TV images showed Søren Wærenskjold standing with a bicycle with a broken front fork. – The Olympic phase is complete for the Norwegian national team today, says Eurosport commentator Theis Magelsen as the camera shows Wærenskjold with the bicycle in his hands in the streets of Paris. Wærenskjold had looked strong in the road race. But with this accident, the chance for a top result in the road race was definitely over. The misfortunes will not end for Wærenskjold this summer. He fell badly early in the Tour de France. He then had to break the time trial in the Olympics after falling. On Saturday, the accident happened again.
