“I’m really happy to be part of Soudal Quick-Step. Ever since I was young, this team was one of those who were excelling in the Classics, with riders like Tom Boonen, who wrote history in this jersey. I think it’s the dream of every young Belgian rider to compete for such a successful team like Soudal Quick-Step. I am hoping to be part of a winning squad in the biggest races. If I take the victory, great! If I help my teammate to win, even better. I can’t wait for next year”, said an enthused Dries, a long-time fan of the GTA series.
