When EF Education-EasyPost announced the arrival of Luke Lamperti earlier this week, it seemed like a surprising move away from Soudal-QuickStep. After all, with Remco Evenepoel's departure and the team's return to a focus on the Spring Classics, a rider of his qualities could be given a lot more opportunities.
But Lamperti revealed to Cyclingnews that he decided to leave the Belgian powerhouse team before knowing of Evenepoel's move to Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe.
