Remco Evenepoel returns to racing at the Tour of Britain on Tuesday, exactly a month after completing his double gold-medal success at the Paris Olympics. 

Evenepoel will start stage 1 of the Tour of Britain in Kelso, Scotland, in a new Soudal-QuickStep jersey that includes gold bands to recognise his Olympic success. He and Soudal-QuickStep apparently had to fight with the UCI for approval of the new and unique design.
