Belgian cycling star Remco Evenepoel has added the Tour de Romandie to his comeback calendar, race organizers announced Thursday.

Evenepoel has not raced since suffering multiple injuries—broken hand, ribs, and a shoulder blade—after hitting the open door of a stationary postal van in Brussels during winter training.

Evenepoel To Return At Brabantse Pijl

His racing return is scheduled for April 18 at the one-day Brabantse Pijl, with the six-day Tour de Romandie in Switzerland beginning April 29.

"Alongside the initial registration lists received... a name has emerged that will excite fans — the prodigious Remco Evenepoel, two-time Olympic champion in Paris, is expected to be a participant," race organizers said in a statement.

Tour de France 2025 Remains The Ultimate Goal

The 25-year-old Quick-Step rider won gold in both the time trial and road race at the Paris Olympics last year. He has made the Tour de France his top goal for the 2025 season, after placing third in 2024 behind Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard.

Evenepoel is no stranger to high-speed crashes. In 2020, he plunged 10 meters into a ravine at the Tour of Lombardy. Last April, he was involved in a heavy mass crash at the Tour of the Basque Country, breaking his collarbone and right shoulder blade.
