A foreign journalist finally ventured to inquire about Evenepoel's future. Rumors that he would no longer ride for Soudal-Quick-Step in 2026 are growing increasingly louder.
"2026 is still a long way off," Evenepoel says, beating around the bush. "It's understandable that I don't want to say anything about that yet."
"There's a lot going on, and it's been going on for years. I read a lot of things that are unfortunately not true."
"But I spoke to Jurgen (Foré, the CEO) about it, because he is also concerned. Everything has been cleared up."
