Biography of Frederick

As well as being an integral part of the team in his role as lead soigneur, ‘Fre’ as he is known also plays a very important role at Soudal Quick-Step, as he is the man who coordinates all of the team’s clothing.

This is far from a straight forward task. For example, each of our riders has kit customised by our partners at Castelli, that is made to measure each individual. So that is 30 riders to measure and fit, before taking into account Tim Merlier’s European Champion jersey, as well as the rainbow stripes on the sleeve and collar of Remco Evenepoel, and the colours of our various National Champions. This is all well as fitting our staff with the correct uniforms suitable for their respective roles within the organisation, a task not to be underestimated.

On top of this, Fre is a familiar face at races and training camps in his original role as a hard-working soigneur, where he looks after the needs of our riders, from helping them prepare for races, being the man in the feed zone, and giving them their much needed massage each evening.
