Evenepoel rues pollen at the Dauphiné
Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick-Step) has told Het Laatste Nieuws that allergies impacted his Critérium du Dauphiné campaign, and that he is hoping things are better at the Tour de France.
"As a child, I even had severe asthma attacks. I have medication for that, but it’s been two years in a row that I’ve been bothered by it in the Dauphiné. It starts with the nose, then it goes down to the airways. You get mucus everywhere, everything gets a bit stuck," he said.
"I hope the pollen count will be lower in the Tour." [Het Laatste Nieuws]
