Soudal-QuickStep have got the Classics band back together after Remco Evenepoel left for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, signing Jasper Stuyven and Dylan van Baarle and bringing back former riders Niki Terpstra and Tim Declercq into a growing directeur sportif and coaching group.

Former Classics rival Sep Vanmarcke has also joined the team and will work with Iljo Keisse, Davide Bramati, Geet van Bondt, Tom Steels and Wilfried Peeters to create one of the strongest backroom staff in the WorldTour peloton. Koen Pelgrim opted not to follow Evenepoel to Red Bull and is one of the six team coaches.
