With the 2023 road cycling season having reached its end, rumour and innuendo are running rife regarding potential transfers. One such example of this is the growing talk of
Wout Poels potentially becoming a lieutenant of Remco Evenepoel at
Soudal - Quick-Step.
Speaking with his compatriot
Dylan van Baarle on the AD podcast In Koers however, the 36-year-old who took stage wins at both the Tour de France and the Vuelta a Espana this year denies any truth in these rumours. "I have not been approached by them," he insists. "And I still have a contract for next year."
