Focus on the Classics

“Soudal Quick-Step is one of the biggest teams in the world, I could see that when racing against this squad in the classics in all these years, it always was the team to watch out for, the team who was in the right place at the right moment and made the race hard. It was one of my goals when I turned pro to ride for Soudal Quick-Step one day. I’m delighted that this will happen next season. Coming here after two difficult years in my career means a lot to me. I want to thank everyone for putting their trust in me.” he said. “I love the Classics. And I love the way this team races. So I can’t wait to be part of this group.”
