OFFICIAL: Soudal - Quick-Step shows 'UAE like' jersey change for 2025
Cycling
The Soudal - Quick-Step equipment for the 2025 season will officially be revealed this morning at the team's ongoing training camp in Calpe, but the team's new colours are already public. The jersey features only a small change with a 'smokey' texture in the torso, just as we've seen with UAE Team Emirates.
Journalist Daniel Benson is on the ground in Calpe and has seen the new jersey that the Belgian team will be wearing next year. The picture soon began to circle around social media. It is a small change, not meaningful... This is only the second big news of the week however as earlier on, team founder Patrick Lefevere shared that he would step down as team CEO after decades on the job.
UPDATE
The team has in the meantime officialized their gear change, with Mikel Landa headlining the reveal video. Remco Evenepoel is currently at home resting from a crash suffered in training recently, but the rest of the team is building on the new season now in a new style:
"Combining the dark blue and red with a lighter shade of blue as a nod to our team’s rich history, the 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸-𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 kit is a fresh fusion of colours similar to the dynamism of a moving cyclist, and we can’t wait to show it on the road next year," the team wrote in a social media post.

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
- well, del grosso is 21 right now. when mathieu was a year younger than that, he was already winning elite level world championships, not U23. i think del grosso will be a very good pro for years, but if he was really going to be the next van der poel someday, he’d already have to be at that level right NOW. van der poel was showing signs of true greatness when he was 15-16. THAT’S what generational talent looks like.OCexile25-12-2024
- Yeah.... gear 😅.mikolajjj24-12-2024
- It shouldn’t be about expectations in the first place should it? Besides, if you look at everyone’s calculations as a whole they don’t add up in the first place. There’ll be 2-3 riders with a 50% chance, a dozen with 10 or 20% and dozens more with a 5% so we’re expecting at least 2 if not 3 winners. Remind me again who won before her? Says it all about using data to decide on participation.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- Ok, happy I’m not too interested in this team coz’ the account of what happened is really hard to follow.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- The UCI is worse than USA CyclingVeganpotter24-12-2024
- It's not like they wanted her to not win😅 She had an outstanding Olympics. But there's a reason why she wasn't expected to win the road race and that's ok. Things like this happen and it's great...better than seeing expected winners win.Veganpotter24-12-2024
- Bruyneel ? The man with a lifetime ban from cycling...why do you keep giving him and his doper mate, Armstrong, a platform?DJ24-12-2024
- yeah, agree. on the subject of being a “complete rider,” i do think that’s getting more interesting. mathieu seems to have decided he wants to get much better at climbing the the high mountain passes. he appears to be looking for new challenges, which should be interesting to watch. in most cases you’d dismiss a goal like that at age 30, but it’s mvdp. he’s never going to climb with the real climbers, but if he can improve enough it could open up stage wins when the parcours isnt just purely toothy and punchy.OCexile24-12-2024
