Young cycling hero Remco Evenepoel in the spotlights in events from Dilbeek to Brussels | VRT NWS: news

Several events were held today to honour Belgium's new cycling star, Remco Evenepoel, the 22-year-old who became World Champion in road cycling last week. Just before that, he managed to win the Vuelta, the first time a Belgian rider managed to win one of the three big stage races in cycling (Tour, Giro or Vuelta) in 44 years. Evenepoel received the honorary citizenship of Dilbeek around noon, but that was just a starter of what was to follow.
