Interview with his Dutch DQS coach Koen Pelgrim on Sporza. Feel free to run it through google translate:
Een neoprof moet in zijn eerste jaar bij de grote jongens doorgaans leren en stelen met de ogen, maar Remco Evenepoel (19) duwde die wet de voorbije weken naar de prullenmand. Sporza sprak met Koen Pelgrim, trainer van Evenepoel bij Deceuninck-Quick Step, over de ontwikkeling van de diamant...

Remco has lost 3kg babyfat the last few weeks. (The article suggests this is compared to earlier in the season, when he was 3kg heavier than last year, so he should "again" be +/-61kg)
They didn't focus on losing weight, it was just a result of circumstances.
The team did not expect these improvements regardless of his talent.
They don't want to change too much in his planning/training because things are going better than expected.
What he's doing currently is not as important, they want to see him at the highest possible level in 3 to 4 years.
Weight loss, altitude camp, training schedule and natural progression are the reasons for his current form.
Mentally very strong. Doesn't get impressed too easily (also in reference to Lefevre's remark about his weight back in february).
Tour de Romandie was a good learning experience since he got to experience it was harder than expected.
Scoring in one week stageraces will be the main goal next year.
Not in this article, but another newsfeat: Lefevre said if he wants to compete at the olympics, that he can go (the team will not hold him back). Eventhough Lefevre doesn't see any commercial value in it (eh?).
