Remco Evenepoel: "Today went fairly well. It was windy, but my team kept me in the right place. I stayed focused throughout the four-hour stage. It was pretty nervy out there. Tomorrow's time trial course [between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin] isn't too far from Belgium, so I managed to recce it between Christmas and New Year's, and I popped back for another look a few days ago. The course suits me well. I can't wait for tomorrow. We're gunning for victory. As the world time trial champion, I'll be giving it my all for the stage win, but also with an eye on a strong position in GC, where I'm hoping to make some waves."
