Soudal - Quick-Step re-signed one of it's strongest climbers. Remco Evenepoel will be able to count on the support of James Knox for two more seasons as the Belgian team reassured mutual confidence.
“James has been with us since the age of 22, and in all these seasons, he continued to steadily develop and learn, while selflessly helping the squad whenever needed," Patrick Lefevere said in a press release. "He is also a great person, equally liked by his teammates and staff members, so it wasn’t a hard decision when it came to prolonging our journey for two more years.”
Knox has had another season of ups and downs, finishing second in the national championships which could've made his season. Knox has struggled with form throughout most of the season but was eighth at the Itzulia Basque Country, finishing second to Jonas Vingegaard on the final day of the race. The climbing potential of the Briton is high and the team is giving him more opportunities to perform.
“I am obviously very happy. I feel very at home in the team, and I am pleased to stay for two more years here" Knox stated. "They have been my entire history in pro cycling, and I am happy to continue with Soudal Quick-Step. I want to say thank you to Patrick and all the sponsors of Soudal Quick-Step. It means a lot to be part of this great squad for two more years, so thanks to everyone."

- I don't think it's only a British thing; the biggest talents aren't usually drawn to CX. Where are all the top Italian, French, Spanish, Slovenian CX riders? Apart from Belgium, and Netherlands, it's not really a target for up and coming cyclists - as there's no career unless you move to Belgium. Other countries can't support a proper professional series, like an international sport should be able to do. Lets not forget, since 2016, British riders have won plenty of World championships; with Pidcock, Richards, Tulett & Backstedt all winning more than one..... And, there was a time when Belgium didn't rule the roost in CX; that was Switzerland, but since the advent of XC MTB, their top off-road talents race there instead of CX - and the 2nd raters not good enough for XC MTB, race CX.wipperman9519-12-2024
- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024

ChoppyWarburton18-12-2024 - The bike industry situation is the same as the future Dutch talent pool discussion , it’s a fakely perceived problem due to an exceptional period that’s come to an end.Mistermaumau18-12-2024
- It's all a part of the fun. Sometimes it takes a few races before you can tell who's who and what's going on.
santiagobenites18-12-2024 - Every year cycling teams force their fans to memorize the jersey colors of all the teams so you can tell which team is doing what in a race. Not like normal sports where the jersey's and numbers mostly stay the same year after year.Sweep18-12-2024
