'If he can earn a few million more somewhere, he should' - Patrick Lefevere opens up about Remco Evenepoel's transfer to Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe

2025 Tour de France stage 1: Remco Evenepoel after the finish.

Patrick Lefevere has broken his silence on Remco Evenepoel's transfer from Soudal-QuickStep to Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, admitting that Evenepoel is right to "earn few million more somewhere" and that Soudal can no longer compete with the big-budget super teams.

Lefevere is no longer in charge at Soudal and revealed he is tied by a non-disclosure agreement. He posted a message on Instagram when Evenepoel's transfer was confirmed on August 5 saying he was not allowed to speak about transfers but opened up and shared some personal thoughts in his regular column in Flemish newspaper Nieuwsblad.
