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.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
