Belgian Remco Evenepoel: Remco Evenepoel achieved another extraordinary feat, maybe the greatest so far in his career, winning the road race of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 on Saturday, while France bagged two medals on an eventful day in cycling competitions in the Paris Olympics on Saturday. Evenepoel won his second gold medal in Paris a week after he dominated the individual time trial (ITT).

The Belgian’s harvest is unprecedented in men’s Olympic road cycling. Dutch icon Leontien van Moorsel achieved a double victory in the women’s road race and ITT at the Olympic Games Sydney 2000.

The host nation celebrated two French medals, with Valentin Madouas holding on to finish second just ahead of his countryman Christophe Laporte, the fastest among the chasers.
