Remco Evenepoel only turned professional in 2019 but he has already established himself as a rider of such high value that Deceuninck-Quickstep offered him a five-year contract extension that will see him remain with the Belgian WorldTour team until the end of 2026. The only other rider with a deal that long is Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar who also signed with UAE Team Emirates for five years.

Evenepoel joins fellow Belgian stand-out Wout van Aert in securing a long-term deal. Van Aert's contract with Jumbo-Visma lasts through 2024.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
