It’s his first grand tour, so could be coming as a bit of a shock. I’m a bit surprised at the anecdotes we keep hearing that make him seem quite immature.
Makes Bernal look like a stone-faced warrior.

I remember reading that besides his amazing watts, Bernal was surprisingly mature and coolheaded for his age.
Unfortunately for Evenepoel, he is such a sensation, that he and the sponsors wouldn’t have been happy for him to be a super domestique.
Compared to Sky/Ineos, where most of the winners have been domestiques (including Bernal) in grand tours before winning.
Except Carapaz, who ended up being a domestique after winning a grand tour...

Evenepoel discovering that racing bikes isn’t easy any more?
Plenty of super talented riders that never won a grand tour.
