Patrick Lefevere is to step down as Soudal Quick-Step's team boss, bringing to an end a successful, and yet sometimes controversial era at the Belgian squad.
The 69-year-old, a former professional cyclist, founded the squad which became Soudal Quick-Step in 2003, when it was Quickstep-Davitamon. It has been through many iterations, including Omega Pharma-Quick Step, Etixx-Quick Step and Deceuninck-Quick Step over the years. He will be replaced by Jurgen Foré, who joined the team early last year as COO, as of 1 January 2025.
