Olympic cycling champ Evenepoel moves to rival outfit
Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel will leave the team where he became one of the best riders of his generation to join Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe from next season. The 25-year-old Belgian rider informed Soudal Quick-Step that he would not extend his contract, which was due to expire at the end of 2026. The team has agreed to release him early. "After taking some time to consult with our sponsors and partners, the team's ownership and management have decided that it is in the best interest of everyone to agree that Remco can move at the end of the current 2025 season," Soudal Quick-Step said on Tuesday. Evenepoel signed with Soudal Quick-Step at a young age after the squad's former manager Patrick Lefevere spotted his immense potential. Under Lefevere's supervision, Evenepoel won prestigious races, including the 2022 Vuelta a Espana two stages of the Tour de France and two titles at Liège-Bastogne-Liège. He finished third at the 2024 Tour de France but withdrew from this year's edition. Widely considered the best time trialist in the world, Evenepoel remains focused on winning more Grand Tours. Evenepoel's move will strengthen Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe, where he will team up with Primoz Roglic and Florian Lipowitz, who finished third in last month's Tour de France. In Paris, Evenepoel become the first rider to sweep the road race and time trial at the Summer Games.
