Evenepoel: “Cycling is not like football. But if I stay…”

The new time trial world champion is linked to the Soudal-Quick Step until 2026 but his future is uncertain: “Normally I stay where I am, but many things need to be improved”

Remco Evenepoel’s future continues to cause discussion: as is well known, the 23-year-old Belgian neo-champion of the time trial is linked to the Soudal-Quick Step until 2026 but above all Ineos is very interested in him, to try to have the capable man to beat Vingegaard and Pogacar at the Tour. Remco, now expected at the Vuelta, spoke at length with the Lanterne Rouge podcast.

“Normally I will stay with the Soudal-Quick Step – he said -. I still have a contract until 2026 and cycling is not like football, where you can buy a player for 200 million. But if I will stay, many things will need to be improved. A better scientific approach, nutrition… All things that are supposed to make the core stronger for the big rides. If this happens, we will be able to reach the same level as UAE and Jumbo-Visma”.
