After a rather bleak few months in the Classics, Soudal - Quick-Step showed signs of life at the Amstel Gold Race, with Mauri Vansevenant finishing just off the podium in 4th. Ahead of La Fleche Wallonne however, 'The Wolfpack' are realistic about their chances.
“We know that we aren’t the favourites for this race, but we have a very strong team and we start with huge motivation and confidence after our strong outing in Amstel, where we came so close to a podium after going on the offensive early," assesses Soudal - Quick-Step sports director, Klaas Lodewyck as he announces the team's lineup for the race. "We’ll see how the race goes, but we believe in our chances of getting a good result at the end of the day.”
After his impressive Amstel Gold Race, Vansevenant again features and will be hopeful of carrying that good form into this race. Strong climbers such as Ilan Van Wilder, James Knox, Pieter Serry and Louis Vervaeke also feature as do Antoine Huby, Pepijn Reinderink.
Soudal - Quick-Step for La Fleche Wallone:
Antoine Huby, James Knox, Pepijn Reinderink, Pieter Serry, Ilan Van Wilder, Mauri Vansevenant, and Louis Vervaeke.

- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
