It's no secret that Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe has approached Remco Evenepoel several times to try to sign him. An attitude which greatly displeased Patrick Lefevere, manager of the Soudal Quick-Step team. But the contract awaiting the Belgian within the German team could perhaps change the situation.
The team Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe did not hide his interest in Remco Evenepoel. The Belgian rider was approached on several occasions by the German team, which has the gift of annoying Patrick Lefeverethe team boss Soudal Quick-Stepwho seeks to secure his foal at all costs. If for the moment, the third in the last Tour de France has signed until 2026 with the Wolfpack, the juicy contract that awaits him could perhaps make him think about the future.
In the columns of The Latest Newsit is revealed that the current contract of Remco Evenepoel would be around 5 million euros. For comparison, the new contract signed by Tadej Pogacar propelled him to 8 million euros per year. Michel Wuytsformer Sporaz commentator, now analyst for the Flemish media, reveals that “the contract was well and truly ready for Evenepoel: 10 million per year plus three members of his entourage including sports director Klaas Lodewyck”.
Patrick Lefevere therefore worked hard at Soudal Quick-Step to preserve Remco Evenepoel. Firstly by retaining the Belgian's close guard, namely the Mikel Landa, Ilan Van Wilder or even Louis Vervaeke. But also by recruiting new faces like the French Valentin Paret-Painter. And within management, there will also be change from 2025 with the arrival of Frederik Brochenational coach within the Belgian federation, who joins the Wolfpack.
