Soudal Quick-Step Devo Team

Our team has a long history of investing in young riders and searching for the stars of tomorrow. Between 2013 and 2016, we did this with the Klein Constantia U23 squad, which served as a feeder team, helping many riders find their way in the sport and making the step to the pro ranks.

Among those who graduated the program are Julian Alaphilippe – a two-time World Champion and multiple Tour de France stage winner – Rémi Cavagna, Jan Hirt and Florian Sénéchal, riders who between them have scored dozens of victories for the Wolfpack, but also the likes of Enric Mas or Maximilian Schachmann, who took important wins for us in some of the biggest races on the calendar, like the Giro or the Vuelta.

At the beginning of 2023, we decided to start this program again, and it ended up being an immensely rewarding one, as the squad racked up a stunning 29 victories. One year later, the Soudal Quick-Step Devo Team remained one of the most important and dominant U23 teams in the world, amassing 16 wins with nine different riders. A pair of stages and the points jersey at the GiroNextGen, the Italian U23 ITT title – brought home by Andrea Raccagni, who in the meantime was promoted to the World Tour squad – as well as victories in Rwanda, Belgium and the Czech Republic made for another excellent season.

Having enjoyed such a remarkable campaign, the Soudal Quick-Step Devo Team is motivated to remain on this path that has made it one of the most successful feeder teams out there, as it will take on this new season with a roster of 17 talented riders from six different countries, all determined to show what they’re capable of and keep the flag high for the squad.
