"A milestone that is only made possible by years of dedication, teamwork, and unlimited passion" - Soudal - Quick-Step celebrate landmark 1,000th* win

The 11th of June, 2025 will go down in history as a landmark day in the story of Soudal - Quick-Step. Star rider Remco Evenepoel took a dominant winner in the stage 4 individual time trial at the Criterium du Dauphine, a result that according to Quick-Step themselves at least, was the 1,000th in the illustrious history of the team.

“To reach 23 years and 1000 victories, at the highest level is an achievement that we are hugely proud of. It is a milestone that is only made possible by years of dedication, teamwork, and unlimited passion," reflected Soudal - Quick-Step CEO Jurgen Fore in a press release to the team's official website afterwards. "Each win tells a story in its own right, but the ethos of the team is that it’s never been about one individual.”

“These 1000 victories combine to make a story about the collective, a team standing for each other in the spirit of The Wolfpack. It is a tribute to every rider, every staff member and all our fans: this achievement belongs to all of you," Fore continues. "It is a tribute to all the sponsors and partners supporting the team, and especially our main partners Soudal, Quick-Step and Specialized: your ongoing commitment and vision have been instrumental in making this happen."

Fore also pays tribute to two of the main faces in the team's storied history. "I do need to address two people individually; our team owner, Mr. Zdenek Bakala: without your support it would have been impossible. And of course, to Patrick Lefevere, the founding father of this team. These 1000 victories are a gift from the team to you, to thank you for your life’s work," he concludes. "While we will celebrate the past, our eyes remain on the road ahead: with new talent, continued innovation, and the unbreakable unity of The Wolfpack. Today is the first day on the journey towards the 2000 victories milestone. Let’s go!”

Now it must also be noted that Soudal - Quick-Step's claim of 1,000 wins is disputed. According to the highly regarded Pro Cycling Stats website, Evenepoel's time trial success is 'only' the 998th success in the team's history.
