Remco Evenepoel heeft zijn favorietenrol waargemaakt. In de openingstijdrit van de Giro d'Italia reed de wereldkampioen iedereen op een hoopje en knalde hij naar de roze leiderstrui. Primoz Roglic kreeg een ferme tik en deed er 43 seconden langer over.

Okay.

Remco is very clear in his intentions. In 2020 all grand tours were won or lost by a smaller margin than this.
Good luck with that, Primoz.
Fingers crossed we get a battle still.

Absolutely insane
Absolutely ludicrous ride by Remco, if he doesn't collapse in the high mountains I don't see him not winning this

That's a supersonic ride from Remco! Incredible stuff to put 22" and 43" into Ganna and Roglic respectively over 19km.

Also, TAO?!?! Remember 2020 was the narrative vs Hindley of who could do the least bad TT to win pink. My oh my he's come a LONG way. #Giro pic.twitter.com/htVSYIQvHL

After a huge ride with a ridiculous helmet on at more than 55 km/h, Remco Evenepoel wins comfortably the opening individual time trial of @giroditalia and gets the first Maglia Rosa of this edition. 👏 His victory is not surprising but the big gaps are. #Giro pic.twitter.com/65t2OEkyhm
