Goodbye Remco Evenepoel: Soudal - Quick-Step gives farewell to Belgian superstar with tribute video
CyclingSunday, 07 December 2025 at 23:00
After seven years and 67 professional victories, Remco Evenepoel has concluded his tenure with the Soudal - Quick-Step team. "The Wolfpack" watched him grow, as he debuted with them at the young age of 19 after dazzling in the junior categories. His impact was immediate, and he soon became the team's star by right, achieving a record only available to a select few.
Seven years is a long time, and Soudal Quick-Step wanted to pay tribute to the rider who has been their star throughout this period by publishing an emotional video across their social media channels. The video reviews some of Evenepoel's greatest successes, though it does not ignore the negative, such as the horrific crash he suffered at Il Lombardia in 2020.
Evenepoel and Soudal - Quick-Step: a very successful partnership
Remco Evenepoel’s career with Soudal Quick-Step began with an unprecedented leap straight to the professional ranks in 2019 at just 19, coming fresh off the amateur club Acrog - Balen BC Junior. His impact was immediate, as he got five victories, including World Tour level Clásica Ciclista San Sebastián, which he would go on to win again in the following years.
He got 9 more wins in 2020, though his meteoric rise was dramatically halted by a fractured pelvis suffered at Il Lombardia in 2020, which put a premature end to his season. After a difficult recovery and a relatively low profile 2021, in which he "only" got 8 victories in second tier races, he reached his best shape in 2022.
Evenepoel has won Clásica Ciclista San Sebastián three times
During this season, Evenepoel won 15 times and delivered some of the team's most significant achievements, becoming the first Belgian in 44 years to win a Grand Tour by claiming the 2022 Vuelta a España, a triumph he immediately followed by seizing the Elite Men's Road Race World Championship in Australia, securing the rainbow jersey.
He also claimed two dominant victories at the Monument Liège-Bastogne-Liège (2022 and 2023), alongside the 2023-2024-2025 World Time Trial title, establishing himself as the definitive leader and star during his tenure with the Wolfpack.
His attempts to win the Tour de France in 2024 and 2025 were not that successful, as he was clearly one step below Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard in both occassions. He still managed to finish in third place in 2024, while in 2025 he was forced to abandon.
He will fight again next year in his next destination, Red Bull - Bora - hansgrohe, where he will join Primoz Roglic, Florian Lipowitz, and Giulio Pellizzari, among others. The German squad has assembled a formidable super team that aims to contend for everything next season, with the General Classification of the Grand Tours being their main objectives given the names they have on roster.

- The "occupation" in Gaza had lasted from 1967 to 2005, making it at most two generations. The Hamas is a Jihad organization sworn to a holy war against Infidels whether they are Jews, Christian, Hindu or in worship of the flying spaghetti monster, even Muslims themselves. It is part of the global Muslim Brotherhood movement founded in Egypt almost 100 years ago (and banned since) which advocate an agenda to speared Islam across the world, educationally, financially, politically and finally if needed in violent manners. It's very vocal in Jordan and other places, and in ties power in Turkey and Qatar. They even don't acknowledge Jews right to have their own country and calls for their eradication (a view which is now popular and legitimate considered legitimate thanks to social media influence campaigns and others). Arabs in Israel have civil rights which you hardly can say about any other Muslim country in the world (as for discrimination, one can argue, as I've no idea). The fact the you cite Hamas cheap propaganda says maybe you are pro Hamas after all.BM07-12-2025

- NOBODY here is pro Hamas but Hamas is the RESULT of 4 generations of occupation, theft, discrimination, war crimes and the international community’s resistance to imposing a lasting solution, which sorry but if someone had some balls and will, would be pretty easy to start in weeks and build on as things would calm down and simplify. North and South Korea have managed avoiding war for almost as long as this has lasted.Mistermaumau07-12-2025

- Yes.I am a strong advocate of people taking courses in anatomy physiology and chemistry of the human body so they know how how there bodies work and the harm that happens when lack of exercise and preservatives enter the cells.
Brucegel07-12-2025 - Definitely, most of us don’t even know half the main ingredients in food we buy, let alone the trace amounts (often not even listed) added to specialised products. I rarely take any form of medicine but once had to about a week before a race (10km run), it took between 1:00-1:30 off my best time.Mistermaumau07-12-2025
