Kasper Asgreen has been a loyal reliable servant of the Soudal - Quick-Step team for the past seven seasons, but in 2025, a new challenge awaits the 29-year-old Dane as he moves on to the EF Education-EasyPost team.
Given his service to Patrick Lefevere's team over the years though, Asgreen departs with nothing but the best wishes of the Soudal - Quick-Step team, as shown in a farewell video posted to the team's official YouTube channel in honour of the former Tour de France stage winner and 2021 Tour of Flanders champion.
Among others, recognisable faces such as Danish cycling icon Brian Holm and Soudal - Quick-Step managers Patrick Lefevere and Tom Steels pass comments on Asgreen's time at the team since his 2018 arrival from Team Waoo. Asgreen himself also has a reflection, speaking with nothing but warmth about his experiences within the Soudal - Quick-Step set up. "It has been so much fun to join the world's best classics team. When I turned professional it was really a dream come true," says the Dane. "An incredible environment to learn from."
"I will always be grateful for that. And I will also always be grateful to all the Belgian fans. It's a pleasure to ride in Belgium and in the Quick-Step jersey and be cheered on, even when you're just out on a 'coffee ride','' Asgreen continues, full of thanks for supporters, and classing himself amongst their number going forward. "People recognize you, and that's something special, and I hope people don't stop cheering me on, even if my jersey is different next year. And I certainly won't stop cheering for the team, that's for sure."
As mentioned, in 2025, Asgreen embarks on a new adventure at EF Education-EasyPost as Quick-Step's focus shifts more and more to general classification targets and their rider profile changes to riders more equipped to help Remco Evenepoel in the mountains of the Tour de France.
