‘It’s not the end of the team’ – Soudal-QuickStep’s Paul Magnier convinced new opportunities will emerge after Remco Evenepoel’s 2026 departure

The imminent departure of Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) from Soudal Quick-Step will very likely reduce the Belgian squad’s options in the Grand Tour GC battles, but as current teammate Paul Magnier (Soudal Quick-Step) put it, the riders who remain with Soudal Quick-Step in 2026 should see the end of the Remco era as an opportunity to seize their own chances as well.

“It’s not the end of the team,” the 21-year-old French sprinter told Cyclingnews on Wednesday morning at the start of stage 3 of the Tour de Pologne. “There are other riders who might come through.”
