Soudal Quick-Step continues to rejuvenate its roster with signing of Antoine Huby
CyclingWednesday, 16 August 2023 at 05:30
Antoine Huby has had a great season so far showing what he’s capable of on numerous occasions, with remarkable results such as winning the overall classification at the U23 Course de la Paix, as well as finishing second in Flèche du Sud and Liège–Bastogne–Liège and fifth in Tour Alsace.
"It was my childhood dream to become a pro rider and Soudal Quick-Step was one of the teams I’ve always dreamed of riding for. When I got contacted by Johan Molly, the squad’s scout, I couldn’t really believe it. One of my idols has always been Julian Alaphilippe, as we have this same cyclo-cross background, and it will be really special to be his teammate. On top of that, it’s nice for me to go to a foreign team, because it means I’m not staying in my comfort zone. I think I will grow a lot in many ways by joining Soudal Quick-Step," said Antoine, who signed a contract for two years.
"My nicest moment of this season came at the U23 Liège-Bastogne-Liège, where I finished second, so it was a big result for me, but also my victory at the Course de la Paix is something that will always stay with me. I like the punchy one-day races, but also the smaller stage races. Next year I will be surrounded by a lot of top riders who are very experienced, so helping them to the maximum and learning from them will be great," concluded Antoine, who when isn’t on his bike, can be found fishing or running in his spare time.

- So he's got an attitude of egocentric proportions, typical Yorkshire guy then...
leedorney15-11-2024 - Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
