Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) was in bullish mood following Stage 6 of the Giro d’Italia, telling Eurosport France that he felt main general classification rival Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) looked “nervous”. After Stage 6 was won by Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo), the 23-year-old Soudal-Quickstep rider sits second on the general classification, some 28 seconds off Norway’s Andreas Leknessund (Team DSM). However, he holds a 44-second lead over Roglic.

Robbie McEwen played down the significance of Remco Evenepoel’s time trial triumph at the opening stage of the Giro d’Italia. Evenepoel opened up a 22-second lead at the top of the general classification with speculation that he has come to Italy in dominant form, and may not be overhauled over the course of the next few weeks.

Remco Evenepoel 'obliterated’ his rivals in the opening stage of the Giro d’Italia, according to Dan Lloyd, while Adam Blythe feels the other contenders need to come up with a new plan. Evenepoel threw down the gauntlet in the opening stage, as he blitzed the opening time trial to secure a 43-second lead over big GC rival Primoz Roglic. Ad Lloyd felt Evenepoel delivered times that were comparable to a team time trial, and that the Belgian’s performance could have demoralised his rivals.
Remco Evenepoel underlined his credentials as a favourite for the Giro d'Italia as he stormed to victory in Saturday's stage one, an individual time trial along the Adriatic coast, to take the leader's maglia rosa jersey.
