'I had a lump in my throat' – former Soudal-QuickStep CEO Patrick Lefevere celebrates 1000th victory at Critérium du Dauphiné with Remco Evenepoel

Patrick Lefevere.

Former Soudal-QuickStep team boss Patrick Lefevere admitted that he had a hard time fighting back his emotions when he watched Remco Evenepoel reach a historic milestone of 1,000 wins for the team on Wednesday in the time trial stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné.

Lefevere founded the Belgian WorldTour squad – then known as QuickStep-Davitamon in 2003, when Servais Knaven got the ball rolling for the team at the Tour of Qatar. Lefevere was the head of the team until December 31, 2024, handing over the reins of power to Jurgen Foré.
