Wuyts: “The contract was actually ready for Evenepoel”

“The contract was actually ready for Evenepoel. Ten million per year plus three team members including team principal Lodewyck, according to a high-ranking and esteemed member of the Quick-Step camp.” revealed the Belgian expert in his column for HLN. “Lefevere put obstacles in the way of the transfer of teammates and kept Evenepoel in place for the entire duration of his contract. He partly made up the financial deficit thanks to the decisive contribution of operational director Jurgen Foré” he added.

Indeed, Remco Evenepoel2nd in the UCI rankings, would have benefited from an increase. “5 million per year… This seems like a lot, but justified given Evenepoel's second place in the UCI rankings. The amount provides a sufficient basis to approach the Tour project in an ambitious and harmonious manner for two more years, right?” he questioned. According to him, the response ofEvenepoel “leans towards no”.
