An emotional farewell to one of the most important riders in the history of the team.
For twelve years, Zdenek Stybar was a member of Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl. Having come across from cyclo-cross, a discipline where he won three world titles, the Czech established himself as one of the best Classics riders of the peloton, winning Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, E3 Harelbeke and Strade Bianche during his time with the team.
After his final official appearance for the Wolfpack on the road, Zdenek sat down to talk about his decade in the squad, his best memories from all these years and what it all meant for him.
Thank you for everything, Styby! You’ll always be a wolf!
