In the wake of a Remco Evenepoel getting stronger and stronger, training Soudal Quick-Step had a very strong 2024. The Belgian team was able to count on its young leader (2nd in Paris-Nice3rd you Tour2nd in Lombardy…), and even if he shone more with the Belgium jersey (JO, Worlds), Evenepoel finishes 2nd in the 2024 UCI rankings, with more than 6,000 points. Tim Merlier also had a very good year with 16 victories, Mikel Landa finished in 5th place in the Tour, and young riders shone like Paul Magnier. The only downside of the season was a failed Flandrian classics campaign, but a 3rd place in the team rankings all the same. Patrick Lefevere took stock on Thursday.
