After last week signing a five-year contract extension with his team Deceuninck-QuickStep, Remco Evenepoel has headed to Spain for an altitude training camp in Sierra Nevada ahead of his Grand Tour debut at the Giro d'Italia.

The 21-year-old is currently training at the Spanish Sports Ministry's High Performance Centre at 2,320 metres altitude alongside teammates Julian Alaphilippe and João Almeida to prepare for the Giro, which will be his first race of the season and his first since crashing out of Il Lombardia last August.
