Remco Evenepoel (Deceuninck-QuickStep) is set to line up at the Volta a Catalunya later this month after Tirreno-Adriatico, a key preparation race for the Belgian in the build-up to the Giro d'Italia, was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Evenepoel is currently training in Calpe to avoid the recent bad weather in Belgium, but his plans have been knocked by the postponement of Tirreno, which was due to get underway next Wednesday.
