Biography
The 23-year-old from Meldert is one of the many riders who have turned pro after a stint with our development team, and was determined from the moment he pulled on the iconic Soudal Quick-Step jersey to show what he is capable of. In the past two years, he was there for the squad in a large number of races, emptying the tank in the service of his leaders and playing an important role in many of our successes. In addition to this, Gil twice finished top ten on the general classification, at Okolo Slovenska and the Deutschland Tour – one of the oldest stage races in the world – confirming there’s more to him than meets the eye.
“Since joining Soudal Quick-Step two years ago, I got some nice opportunities to try something and see what I can do, and for that I am grateful to the team, as it just shows they treat everyone equally and give chances no matter if you are a neo-pro or a more experienced rider. I have learned a lot in these past two seasons and I’m motivated to continue on this path in the next few years. For me, Soudal Quick-Step is the best team in the world and the place where I can become the best version of myself, and I am keen on doing that.”
