La Vuelta a Espana 2022: Remco Evenepoel says he wouldn't 'fake such things' amid puncture debate
Remco Evenepoel has moved to quash any doubts over his puncture suffered during Stage 16 of the Vuelta a Espana. A crazy finale to the stage saw Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) apparently suffer a mechanical as the race headed uphill, just moments after red jersey rival Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) had dropped a sensational attack with 2.7km remaining. Ad Evenepoel cut a relaxed figure given he was inside the final 3km – the safety net to get the same time as the peloton.
