Deceuninck-QuickStep youngster Remco Evenepoel has barely started his pro career, but already talk in the Belgian press is turning to the 'next Evenepoel'. 17-year-old Cian Uijtdebroeks, a first-year junior, is attracting attention from the Belgian powerhouse team as well as Jumbo-Visma and Team Sunweb.

Earlier this year, the young Belgian won his first major race at junior level with the Acrog-Tormans team, soloing to victory at Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne from 50km out.
