Cycling: Deceuninck – Quick-Step was again the best team on the WorldTour in 2020. This should not change in 2021 either.
Deceuninck – Quick-Step 2020: 100x on the podium
With 100 podium finishes, the Deceuninck – Quick-Step team was the most successful on the WorldTour in 2020 as well. A whopping 40 victories could be celebrated. Alone Remco Evenepoel contributed 9 wins, Sam Bennett 7. Julian Alaphilippe won only three races in total, but was rewarded World Champion. In addition to top results in one-day races and successful stage hunts, the Belgian team also impressed in the overall rankings of tours. Remco Evenepoel won four tours and thus all in which he participated. Joao almeida was 4th at the Giro d'Italia and wore the pink jersey for many days. So it was like the years before: Deceuninck - Quick-Step could compete for victories in every race and on every terrain in 2020.
Transfers: Cavendish returns
The wolf pack will remain together in 2021. Only one departure and two additions change the team slightly. With Bob jungels the team will certainly lose a role model. The now 2016-year-old has been driving for the blue and white team since 28. He presented himself strongly in one-day races and as a speed booster in tours. However, the Luxembourger never really lived up to the high expectations. Just a few years ago it was hoped that he could become a top classification driver. Since Deceuninck - Quick-Step is already well positioned in terms of one-day races, the loss of Bob Jungels only hurts minimally. Join the team Josef cerny and Mark Cavendish. Both were not brought in to win races. They ensure more breadth in the team and can provide support on flat terrain with their experience and a lot of pressure on the pedals.
Deceuninck – Quick-Step 2021: Does it get even better?
It's actually crazy that with 100 podium finishes, the limit doesn't seem to have been reached yet. If we look at the squad, we see even more potential. With only 3 wins of the season remained Julian Alaphilippe below his possibilities. Remco Evenepoel was injured for a long time and will still be able to improve at his young age - even if that's scary. sprinter Fabio Jacobsen fell out almost the entire season because of his serious fall in the Tour of Poland. And also round drivers Joao almeida just turned 22 and still has a lot of potential. So the competition will hope in vain that Deceuninck - Quick-Step 2021 will subside.
