Soudal Quick-Step
Strengths:
Remco Evenepoel is a Belgian road rider and a multiple world champion who rides for Soudal Quick-Step. He has won the Vuelta a España (2022) and several major one-day Classics.
A former junior road race world champion, Evenepoel turned professional with Patrick Lefevere’s team in 2019 and quickly became one of the team’s leading stars. The Belgian all-rounder took several breakthrough wins in his first season at WorldTour level, including one-day success in Clásica San Sebastián and the time trial at the European Championships. He also took silver in the men’s time trial at the UCI Road World Championships in Yorkshire, England.
The following year Evenepoel won all four of the stage races he started before a crash ended his campaign at Il Lombardia. The 2021 season saw the Belgian continue his development but in 2022 he reached a new level with a stunning overall win at the Vuelta a España as well as his first senior men’s rainbow jersey at the UCI Road World Championships in Australia.
In 2023, his upward trajectory continued, retaining both his Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Clásica San Sebastián titles, before winning the gold medal in the men's time trial at the UCI Road World Championships in Scotland.
At the Vuelta a España the Belgian failed to defend his title but won three stages and the mountains classification. In 2024 he will make his Tour de France debut.
