Instead of sulking about Remco Evenepoel, the Belgian squad is winning races and signing Monument winners.<\/p>\n

Soudal-Quick Step could have been forgiven for sulking this week after the announcement that Remco Evenepoel would be leaving to join Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, but the squad has instead busied itself with winning bike races and bolstering its 2026 roster.<\/p>\n

Remco Evenepoel is officially headed to Red Bull<\/p>\n

Months of speculation is over, Remco is on the move.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Friday, Soudal confirmed long-swirling rumors and announced a two-year deal with Dylan van Baarle, the 2022 Paris-Roubaix champion. The 33-year-old Dutchman has spent the past three seasons with Visma-Lease a Bike, where his biggest achievement was winning the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in his very first appearance with the squad.<\/p>\n

Injuries have thoroughly derailed Van Baarle’s past year or so, as he broke his collarbone at the 2024 Crit\u00e9rium du Dauphin\u00e9, his hip at that year’s Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a, and his collarbone again at the Tour Down Under earlier this year. In short, he has not been able to replicate the success of a few years ago, but Van Baarle is optimistic about re-finding the form that propelled him to Classics stardom as he looks ahead to his new team to help get him back on track.<\/p>\n
