VELO on MSNRemco Evenepoel Suffers Disaster Setback in Tour de France Quest with Abandon of Key HelperAbandon of experienced Tour de France domestique Cattaneo puts extra pressure on Evenepoel and an already underpowered Quick-Step team.
Here is a breakdown of the racers who have won the Tour de France the most times: Five: Eddy Merckx (Belgium), Bernard Hinault (France), Miguel Induráin (Spain), Jacques Anquetil (France) Three: Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia)*, Philippe Thys (Belgium), Louison Bobet (France), Greg LeMond (USA)
The versatile Mattia Cattaneo, who rides for Evenepoel’s Soudal Quick-Step, was seen struggling at the back of the peloton during Friday’s Stage 7 of the three-week race between Saint-Malo and Mûr-de-Bretagne.
A three-week Grand Tour will always contain natural ebbs and flows, and, for much of Monday’s stage between Valenciennes and Dunkirk, it looked as if the peloton had declared an unofficial rest day, with the riders happy to cruise back towards the coast after a weekend of wind, rain and intensity.
