Ethan Hayter.

Ethan Hayter has revealed that problems with on-the-bike nutrition severely hampered his debut season for Soudal Quick-Step last year, claiming that at “quite a few races I wasn’t just a bit off, but a long way off.”

After five years with Ineos Grenadiers, the Londoner made the move to Quick-Step seeking to rediscover the form and consistency he showed in 2021 and 2022 especially, when he was regularly competing with – and occasionally beating – the likes of Wout van Aert and Julian Alaphilippe.
