Thibau Nys hints at an off day for Evenepoel, who had to let leaders go

After abandoning, Thibau Nys said he had the impression that Remco Evenepoel was not feeling his best. That suspicion was confirmed shortly afterward in the race, when the Belgian leader had to chase. Evenepoel could not follow when Isaac del Toro and Paul Seixas accelerated at the front, forcing him to let the leading riders go.
