Is it true that Ineos wants to turn him into a gc rider (after the Olympics)?
That was always the plan. He's the only one still riding the three disciplines at the highest level, and winning The MTB Worlds this year, Olympics next are his main goals afaik. After that, focus mainly on the road.
Some people seem in a rush to judge what level he can reach already, which is understandable. Evenepoel was being written off as GC contender after The TDS last year. My guess is that he'll be an elite GC rider who can compete in most one day races. But I've said for a long time, we probably won't really know till 2025?
