Remco Evenepoel posted a video to Instagram on Wednesday showing him sporting an Arsenal shirt over his Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe kit on a training ride. 

Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions on Tuesday after Manchester City drew 1-1 with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. 

The Citizens needed to win to ensure that the title race went down to the final match week, after Arsenal beat Burnley at the Emirates Stadium 1-0. 

The full-time whistle in Bournemouth confirmed that Arsenal had become English football champions for the 14th time, and for the first time since the 2003-04 season, marking the end of a 22-year wait. 

Evenepoel has made no secret of his support for Arsenal. The Olympic champion had previously revealed his support for the North London team on social media after he attended his first match at the Emirates in 2024.

Before becoming a cyclist, Evenepoel was a footballer, playing for the youth teams of R.S.C Anderlecht and PSV Eindhoven. In addition, Evenepoel made nine appearances for Belgium's U15 and U16 teams.

Evenepoel, who last raced at Liège-Bastogne-Liège on April 26, where he finished third, will not race until the start of the Tour de France, which kicks off in Barcelona on July 4.
