We don't have too long left for the next bit of international cycling. As the Belgian's reveal their lineup for the upcoming 2024 European Championships however, the recently crowned double Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel is notably absent.
In the time trial world champion's absence, the Belgian's have turned to Team Visma | Lease a Bike's newest signing Victor Campenaerts, and Evenepoel's Soudal - Quick-Step teammate, Yves Lampaert in the fight to succeed Joshua Tarling as the European champion against the clock.
In the road race meanwhile, Belgium have gone for a formidable sprint orientated team including the incredibly fast quartet of Tim Merlier, Jasper Philipsen, Jordi Meeus and Wout van Aert, with support coming from the likes of Tim Declerq, Laurenz Rex, Jonas Rickaert and Bert van Lerberghe.
Should any late injuries or illness befall any of the aforementioned roster, the Belgian's have also announced their reserve riders for the 2024 European Championships, those being Jenno Berckmoes, Edward Theuns and Julien Vermote respectively.

- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
- Yes, still sad though, that he's retiring. Anyway, best wishes for his new chaptermhfrvz08-01-2026
- has he been pushed out by the team ?
ChillingCyclist08-01-2026 - Jesus was crusified at age 33. Go out BIG, not like Froome; a good cyclist but people are now laughing and making fun of Froomey. He just doesn't know when to quit. I understand Simon Yates. Who still remembers, Pogi the GOAT also talked about retiring early? He had enough of the BS that comes with professional sports, especially cycling.NikkoNicco08-01-2026
- I think the regret is greater for Cian than JV.mij08-01-2026
- Ayuso was a rat...a traitor. Lidli Trek will get rid of him in the next two years. Once a traitor, always a traitor. He betrayed his UAE team and Pogacar.NikkoNicco08-01-2026

- Quite a surprise, he's been a model Pro and as a nasty Brit I'm rather proud of what he's achieved. I sat watching, absolutely gutted for him on the Finnestre in 2018 but for many of us what he did this year was unexpected but brilliant (despite rooting for Isaac). Chapeau Simon, thanks for giving us something to cheer for, have a great retirementslappers6608-01-2026
