Despite 2023 season hasn't yet started Patrick Lefevere reveals that "Agents are already calling me for 2024"

The soon to be Soudal-Quick Step, Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team didn't his most distinguished season. Despite Remco Evenepoel successes throw out the season( culminating with the general classification of Vuelta a España), the team achieved 47 wins, less 18 than last year and lost its number one spot in the UCI team rankings.

Still, Quickstep is one of the teams with more talented riders of the peloton and interest around them doesn't stop, "There are people who want to come, but of course the price goes up, there are still riders who are there and have a contract. We'll see about 2024 and beyond" said Lefevere in comments reported by RTBF.
