Soudal-QuickStep sign sprinter Alberto Dainese as roster rebuild continues after losing Remco Evenepoel to Red Bull

Alberto Dainese (Tudor Pro Cycling) .

Soudal–Quick-Step have signed Italian sprinter Alberto Dainese (Tudor Pro Cycling Team) as they rebuild their roster and return to their roots as a Classics team after losing Remco Evenepoel and their Grand Tour ambition.

Evenepoel ended his contract with Soudal–Quick-Step a year early, with Primož Roglič's team Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe paying a transfer fee. The transfer has allowed Soudal to save and accumulate an estimated €7-10 million, some of which team manager Jurgen Foré is investing in the team's roster for 2026 and beyond.
