>On the big loop towards Mount Kigali, the road surface was poor. He rode through a pothole there, causing his saddle to tilt. That's obviously highly undesirable at the most crucial point of the World Championship, especially without communication
>Ten kilometers later, the same scene unfolded again during the climb of the Côte de Kimihurura. Evenepoel knocked his saddle in frustration and raised his hand. It was all taking a bit too long, according to Evenepoel. A vigorous shout at the camera and a kick in the air revealed his frustration, although it turned out the second bike change wasn't necessary. Evenepoel thought his saddle had dropped again, but according to mechanic Dario Kloeck, there was nothing wrong with his second bike: "We checked it three times, but there was nothing wrong."

Topest kek this is just a quintessential remco story. Literally just seethe his way out of the race
