He competed in the rescheduled 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo in both the road race and time trial earning a top 10 place in the latter. During the 2021 World Championships in Flanders he claimed his second elite level world championship medal, taking the bronze in the time trial. Evenepoel was the centre of a furore in the World road race. Ahead of the race, it was felt that Wout van Aert was the protected leader for a Belgian team that was very hopeful of a home win,{{Cite web|url=https://www.flobikes.com/articles/7151307-wout-van-aert-is-top-favorite-for-2021-uci-road-worlds|title=Wout Van Aert Is Top Favorite For 2021 UCI Road Worlds - FloBikes|website=www.flobikes.com|date=17 September 2021 }} and Eddy Merckx stated to Het Nieuwsblad that "If there is only one leader, you really shouldn't take Evenepoel [...] He rides mainly for himself; we saw that at the Olympics". Evenepoel responded "He always has to say something and that's a shame [...] Maybe it stings that I didn't ride for his son's team. I have a lot of respect for Eddy and apparently that is not mutual." On the race ahead "I'm here to work for Belgium, for Wout, because I know that it's the chance of his life to be world champion. He's in the form of his life, and it would be stupid of me to ride for myself. On this parcours, no one is stronger than Wout.

In the road race Evenepoel appeared to answer Merckx' criticism that he is a selfish cyclist by joining an early attack with 180 km still to race, followed by a second mid-race attack, and then created the decisive selection in the finals laps.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/remco-evenepoel-i-had-the-legs-to-become-world-champion/|title=Remco Evenepoel: I had the legs to become world champion|date=30 September 2021|website=cyclingnews.com}} Van Aert was unable to win the race, which was won by Julian Alaphilippe. After the race, people from the world of cycling such as Evenepoel's trade team boss Patrick Lefevere praised Evenepoel's strength and wondered if the Belgian team had made the wrong choice of leader.{{Cite web|url=https://cyclingtips.com/2021/09/where-did-it-all-go-wrong-for-the-home-team-at-flanders-worlds/|title=Where did it all go wrong for the home team in the Flanders Worlds finale?|date=26 September 2021|website=CyclingTips}} Lefevere asked: "[W]hy did the Belgians want to break open the race so early? And above all, why did they throw Remco into the fray so early? For me, Remco was the best man in the race after Julian. But they just sacrificed him and rolled out the red carpet for Julian."{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/remco-evenepoel-was-the-best-man-in-the-race-after-julian-alaphilippe-lefevere-baffled-by-belgian-tactics-at-world-championships|title='Remco Evenepoel was the best man in the race after Julian Alaphilippe': Lefevere baffled by Belgian tactics at World Championships|first=Tim|last=Bonville-Ginn|date=27 September 2021|website=cyclingweekly.com}}

Evenepoel responded to the criticism of Belgium's tactics by revealing that he felt he could have won the race but that "[o]n Friday evening before the World Championships there was a meeting with everyone. It was very unclear to me what exactly was expected of me. So after sleeping on it, the next day I went to coaches Sven Vanthourenhout and Serge Pauwels and asked: 'What do you expect from me in concrete terms?' "I also said straight out that I thought I might be able to win the race in a certain scenario. 'Do I get a chance or not?' I asked. 'No,' was the answer." This caused a rift in the team; Van Aert said "I expected to hear criticism because we didn't win but that it came from someone on the team is not smart and only serves to add fuel to the fire. It's a shame, and I regret it. Remco issued more criticism on TV than in the team meeting"{{Cite web|url=https://www.velonews.com/news/road/wout-van-aert-claps-back-at-remco-evenepoel-criticism-of-belgian-worlds-tactics/|title=Wout van Aert claps back at Remco Evenepoel criticism of Belgian worlds tactics|date=1 October 2021}} and "He was the one who agreed with the tactics, who agreed with the selection.

Days after the race Belgian team-mate Jasper Stuyven said that Evenepoel had failed to show up for the team debrief: "Everyone was there, except Remco [...] He was aware, but didn't think it was necessary. I think that is a shame, especially because he thought it necessary to say things on TV. That stuck with some of us. [...] I think that Remco should sometimes be slowed down by his entourage. He still has to learn when he can and cannot say things. Also, a super-strong rider – which he certainly is – should realise that some things should remain internal."{{Cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/evenepoel-refused-to-show-up-for-belgiums-worlds-debrief-stuyven-reveals/|title=Evenepoel refused to show up for Belgium's Worlds debrief, Stuyven reveals|date=25 October 2021|website=cyclingnews.com}}

During the Tour of the Basque Country, from April 1 to 6, Evenepoel abandoned the race due to injury following a serious crash on stage 4. The incident occurred during a high-speed descent and led to the neutralization of the race, affecting several other favorites, including Jonas Vingegaard and Primož Roglič. Despite the severity of the crash, Evenepoel managed to walk to medical assistance on his own.{{cite web|url=https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.com/racing/news/vingegaard-evenepoel-and-roglic-involved-in-serious-crash-at-itzulia-basque-country|title=Vingegaard, Evenepoel, and Roglič involved in serious crash at Itzulia Basque Country|website=Global Cycling Network|access-date=5 April 2024}} He sustained a broken collarbone and scapula, requiring surgery, which was successfully completed on April 6.{{cite web|url=https://www.soudal-quickstepteam.com/en/news/6493/remco-evenepoel-update|title=Remco Evenepoel undergoes successful surgery|website=Soudal Quick-Step Team|access-date=8 April 2024}}

Evenepoel made his race debut at the 2024 Tour de France, held from June 29 - July 21.
