Info @Gazzetta_it - Our sources today confirmed us at @LeTour that the move for 2023 od @HirtJan from @IntermarcheWG to @qst_alphavinyl can be considered a done deal @cycling_podcast @elcyclingpod
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team are looking to bolster their mountain lineup with eyes on the future for Remco Evenepoel. Jan Hirt had been rumoured as a strong possibility to join the Belgian team, and it is said there is an agreement already.
The report comes from Gazzetta dello Sport of claim Hirt's move to Quick-Step "can be considered a done deal". At 31 years of age and with years of experience as a high-level domestique at Astana, the Czech rider can be a strong fit for the block that is likely to support Remco Evenepoel over the coming years, with his top performances coming this year at an highly motivated Intermarché - Wanty - Gobert Matériaux.
Hirt won the queen stage and the overall classification earlier this year at the Tour of Oman signaling a return to good form, but it was at the Giro d'Italia that he left his mark, finishing in sixth place in the final classification after an incredibly strong final week which included a stage win into Aprica.
He's set to race the upcoming Vuelta a España in the coming months where he will have another chance to show his climbing prowess in the high mountains.

- I didn't know there was a problem in Italian cycling. Sure, there hasn't been an Italian win a grand tour in recent years, but if we are using that as a metric, then every country in the world other than Slovenia and Denmark are in big trouble!Pogboom26-11-2024

- Here he is again, giving real answers! Love it. As a fan, I had not really paid attention but agree with what he says. Between Pogacar and van der Poel, with their attacks from 50k and more, the racing is simply different. At the grand tours, it's that kind of attacking every day, as well (e.g., even when he didn't want to, other teams goaded Pogacar into racing for the win at the Tour). I can imagine how hard that is for a rider, but for me as a fan it's certainly a lot of fun to watch.RidesHills25-11-2024
- Wrong, CrashJames. Frankie a ringleader of the Motorola doping scheme along with Armstrong. Armstrong made his career. And Lemond--you are still clinging to his miracle of "iron injections"? Bless your heart.
MarkFour25-11-2024 - Wrong. Bassons himself said that leaving pro cycling was the best thing that ever happened to him. You don't belong in these comments, or anywhere near a bike.MarkFour25-11-2024
- Agree, it is incomplete to omit the doped peloton. Lance was just better at it, a bigger liar, and vindictively went after people to protect the secret. Look how many results had to be restated, where other riders were also stripped of their results, and the problems ex us postal riders faced because their doping programs were not as good as postal. Why we continue to spend any time on this a$$h0le is beyond me.Crashjames25-11-2024
