Remco Evenepoel to return to action at UAE Tour as Soudal-Quick-Step reveal lineup
CyclingFriday, 17 February 2023 at 11:30
For the first time since the Vuelta a San Juan, world road race champion Remco Evenepoel will be back in competitive action as he's set to lead the Soudal - Quick-Step team at the upcoming UAE Tour.
With 23-year-old Evenepoel leading the Soudal-Quick-Step charge for the overall general classification victory, sprint wins will be hunted by Tim Merlier. “We travel to the UAE with a lot of confidence, given by the strong team we have for this race and the shape our two leaders – Remco and Tim – have displayed in their first races of the season," says sports director Geert Van Bondt.
The five remaining riders tasked with helping Evenepoel and Merlier in their respective quests for success will be Josef Cerny, Mauro Schmid, Pieter Serry, Bert Van Lerberghe and Louis Vervaeke.
"The parcours is more or less the same, with the presence of the team time trial making things more interesting than in the past. We’ll see where we are after that second stage," says Van Bondt. "But we aim for a good GC and some wins, so hopefully things will go as planned for us and we’ll have a solid outing next week”

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
