Luke Lamperti turned down extension offer from Soudal-QuickStep to join EF Education-EasyPost

BRUGGE, BELGIUM - JUNE 15: Luke Lamperti of United States and Team Soudal Quick-Step crosses the finish line the 42nd Elfstedenronde Brugge 2025 a 196km one day race from Brugge to Brugge on June 15, 2025 in Brugge, Belgium. (Photo by Luc Claessen/Getty Images).

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.
