Remco Evenepoel won the time trial gold in men’s cycling at the Paris 2024 Olympics, and will compete in the road race event on August 3. His father, Patrick Evenepoel, was a cyclist himself, and had won the 1993 Grand Prix de Wallonie.But Remco could have gone down another path early on.As a teen, the Belgian was a promising footballer, and had even captained his country’s under-16 team.But he reportedly grew tired of the club culture and his career stagnated, following which he switched to his father’s lane in 2017.Seven years later, the 24-year-old is one of the brightest spots in world cycling, and has his sights set on another Olympic gold.A team-up with Kevin De Bruyne was not to be, but he has brought glory to Belgium his own way, one race at a time.
