This comes after a season of a white-dominant jersey, fashioned to resemble a wolf’s head. Gone is the white chest band that used to lighten up Quick Step’s blue-dominant kits. Utilizing two shades of blue, the wolf’s head can still be detected.
The Wolfpack has taken on only two new members for next year: Mark Cavendish, who is returning to the team after five years away, and a member of the CCC diaspora, Josef Černý. Perennial Luxembourg national champion Bob Jungels has left the squad for AG2R-Citroën.
In the UCI’s 2020 individual world rankings, Deceuninck-Quick Step had 20 percent of the top-20, with Julian Alaphlippe ranked sixth, João Almeida 13th, underrated Frenchman Florian Senechal 16th and Remco Evenepoel 20th.
