Last season was a strong one for Matijs, who racked up five top-ten places, including sixth at the National Championships. The promising Belgian, who will turn 20 this year, has a knack for one-day races, and the results he has scored so far – both as a junior and in his first U23 season – show that he could have a future in these events.
“I am happy to ride for the Soudal Quick-Step Devo Team. This organisation has a history of developing young riders and an amazing tradition in the Classics, so for me it was an easy decision. I hope to continue making some important steps here, show myself whenever possible and set some nice goals, which I will hopefully achieve with the help of this squad. I love this sport, I love racing and I can’t wait to show this”, an excited Matijs said.
