Soudal-QuickStep's star pairing of Remco Evenepoel and Julian Alaphilippe have confirmed the starting points of their 2023 seasons, with the rainbow jersey holder set to kick off his campaign at the Vuelta a San Juan, while the former world champion will be racing in his native France in late February.

The Belgian team announced that Evenepoel, who also won Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Vuelta a España this season, will return to the race he won in 2020 to start next season. The Vuelta a San Juan, which hasn't been held since that edition, will take place from January 22-29.
