Remco Evenepoel will not take part in this weekend's Clásica San Sebastián. The Belgian champion, forced to withdraw from the 2026 Tour de France following a heavy crash, has decided to further delay his return to racing.
The news comes after weeks of uncertainty over Evenepoel's fitness, having already missed several races since his Tour de France crash. The Clásica San Sebastián is a race he had won three times previously, making his absence even more significant for organizers and fans.
The Soudal-QuickStep rider chose not to rush his recovery, opting for a more gradual return program. No precise date has been announced for his comeback, with a potential return in time for the Vuelta a España or late-season races being discussed.
