Podcast appearances and mentions of patrick lefevere

Wordt een levenslang contract een nieuwe trend in het wielrennen? Wout van Aert en Marianne Vos hadden al zo'n verbintenis met hun teams, Mads Pedersen volgt nu hun voorbeeld. Voormalig olympisch kampioen Greg Van Avermaet, oud-ploegleider en doorwinterd onderhandelaar Patrick Lefevere en Jef Van den Bosch, de manager van Wout van Aert, zetten de beweegredenen voor renners én teams om voor zo'n contract te kiezen, op een rijtje.

Het voorjaar zit erop, en dat kan maar één ding betekenen: tijd om de balans op te maken. Max, Jappe en Dirk krijgen daarbij deze week versterking van niemand minder dan Patrick Lefevere. De man die nooit om een mening verlegen zit, blikt met ons terug op het voorjaar van The Wolfpack, zijn grootste spijt rond Mathieu van der Poel en zijn bewondering voor Kim Le Court.Maar het blijft niet bij terugblikken: we hebben het ook over de commercialisering van de koers, de stand van het vrouwenwielrennen en de vraag of Remco écht bij de ploeg blijft. Patrick deelt zijn ongezouten visie, terwijl Jappe zich aan een quiz over Afrikaanse coureurs waagt. Verder passeren ook Visma-Lease a Bike, de nieuwe CEO van Soudal Quick-Step en een ode aan Frank Vandenbroucke de revue.00:00 Intro05:41 Nieuwe CEO Jurgen Foré10:40 Het voorjaarsrapport van The Wolfpack14:55 De commercialisatie van de koers16:53 Blijft Remco bij de ploeg?19:20 Het voorjaar gefileerd24:15 Weinig spanning in Luik-Bastenaken-Luik29:50 Grootste spijt is Mathieu van der Poel 34:05 Kim Le Court wint bij de vrouwen 41:20 De rendabiliteit van het vrouwenwielrennen45:50 De quiz over Afrikaanse coureurs52:30 (Niet) geslaagd voorjaar van Lotte Kopecky55:27 De Tour de France nooit gewonnen57:18 Het voorjaar gefileerd1:03:50 Een minder dominant Visma-Lease a Bike1:09:17 Mooiste herinnering aan Frank Vandenbroucke1:18:10 De leugen van Vlad

Remco Evenepoel is terug. Vrijdag staat hij aan de start van de Brabantse Pijl. Zijn eerste koers na de zware val op training waarbij hij meerdere breuken opliep. De zoveelste tegenslag op korte tijd in zijn prille carrière, die hij zelfs overwoog om stop te zetten. Hoe zwaar heeft de dubbele olympische kampioen het gehad? Wij zoeken het uit met wielercommentator José De Cauwer, zijn voormalige ploegmanager Patrick Lefevere, ervaringsdeskundige Sep Vanmarcke en neef en boezemvriend Dario Kloeck.

La "Reine des classiques" a souvent changé de Roi en 122 éditions mais là, depuis trois ans, elle a trouvé un fidèle amoureux, un Néerlandais mangeur de pavés, Mathieu van der Poel, le troisième seulement dans l'histoire à remporter trois fois de suite l'"Enfer du Nord" après Octave Lapize et Franscesco Moser. Le nouveau prétendant slovène Tadej Pogacar n'a pas encore totalement charmé la Reine mais il a marqué des points, c'est certain. L'épisode 8 d'"On connaît nos classiques" est consacré au débriefing de Paris-Roubaix avec, autour de Samuël Grulois, le quatuor Gérard Bulens, Rodrigo Beenkens, Jérôme Helguers et Cameron Vandenbroucke. Martin Weynants est également de passage dans l'émission pour évoquer l'"Enfer du Nord" dames. Et puis, l'équipe accueille un invité de prestige, Patrick Lefevere!Distribué par Audiomeans.

Het mag begin december zijn, maar nieuwsluw is het allerminst in deze off season-week. Patrick Lefevere die plots zijn afscheid aankondigt, Picnic dat als nieuwe naamsponsor in Team dsm-firmenich PostNL stapt, Tadej Pogačar die het Vlaamse voorjaar gaat verslinden, zo kunnen we nog wel even doorgaan. Met andere woorden: praatstof genoeg voor een nieuwe WielerFlits Podcast. Na meer dan twintig jaar neemt Patrick Lefevere afscheid als CEO van zijn Soudal-Quick-Step. Raymond Kerckhoffs kent hem al jaren en vertelt wat Lefevere voor de wielersport heeft betekend. Daarnaast bracht Raymond woensdagavond de primeur dat Picnic de nieuwe hoofdsponsor van Team dsm-firmenich PostNL is. Hij vertelt ook wat die verandering teweeg gaat brengen bij de ploeg van Iwan Spekenbrink. Ook de eerste mediadagen van de wegploegen ligt achter ons, zo ook die van UAE Emirates. Of beter gezegd: die van Tadej Pogačar. De Sloveen presenteerde een wedstrijdprogramma voor de liefhebbers om duimen en vingers bij af te likken, met heel veel voorjaarsklassiekers. Hij twijfelt daarnaast tussen de Giro d'Italia en de Vuelta a España, maar Maxim en Youri stellen vast dat  de Giro met zijn huidige programma - dat loopt van de UAE Tour tot een met Luik-Bastenaken-Luik - eigenlijk op voorhand al een gesloten boek is. Daarnaast verdwijnt de Topcompetitie uit het Nederlandse wielrennen. Een hard gelag, of toch niet? Onze verslaggevers laten er hun licht over schijnen. Tot slot bespreken de mannen ook de terugkeer van Wout van Aert, Puck Pieterse en wereldkampioen U23 Tibor Del Grosso in de cross. Hun rentree laat niet lang meer op zich wachten en dat geldt ook voor Mathieu van der Poel. Onze mannen hebben een aantal zaken opgevangen en denken te weten waar de wereldkampioen op korte termijn zijn eerste opwachting maakt. Kortom, alle redenen om te luisteren!

On the eve of Time Magazine naming its ‘Person of the Year' for 2024, we offer absolutely no surprises by naming Tadej Pogačar our man of the year just past.  ‘Pog' has been briefing the media on what to expect from him in 2025 - and Fran Reyes has been on the ground in Spain taking notes. In this episode, Fran tells Daniel Friebe and Richard Abraham what he's heard from the Slovenian and some of those who either masterminded or assisted his all-conquering season.  Before all of that, we also discuss the two main news headlines of the week: Patrick Lefevere leaving his CEO position at Soudal-Quick Step and Tom Pidcock signing for Q36.5.  The Cycling Podcast presented by Shokz The Cycling Podcast is proudly brought to you by Shokz, pioneers of bone-conduction headphones.

Net voor de start van het nieuwe wielerseizoen kondigt Patrick Lefevere aan dat hij afzwaait als CEO van Soudal-Quick Step. Zijn nalatenschap is indrukwekkend. Met 22 monumenten, 7 wereldkampioenen op de weg en meer dan 1000 zeges in de koers mag hij zich “The Godfather” van de koers kronen. Sporza Daily blikt terug op zijn illustere carrière met wielerverslaggever Renaat Schotte, ex-renners Tom Boonen en Johan Musseeuw, maar ook Patrick Lefevere komt zelf aan het woord.

Het mocht niet “het jaar te veel” worden. En dus heeft Patrick Lefevere besloten om definitief te stoppen als CEO van Soudal Quick-Step. Lefevere speelde in op het verrassingseffect, want niemand had die aankondiging verwacht. Waarom was dit nu het ideale moment voor Lefevere om afscheid te nemen? En wie is zijn opvolger?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Si Tadej Pogacar est en démonstration sur le Tour d'Italie et que Jonathan Milan croque l'essentiel des sprints, le cyclisme tricolore est à la fête sur ce Giro avec trois victoires déjà après deux semaines de course, chacune nous livrant son lot de belles histoires et de sourires. Du bonheur à l'état pur et même bien plus que ça lorsque, sur la 12e étape, Julian Alaphilippe nous a livré un récital qui nous a rappelé de très agréables souvenirs. Le double champion du monde a un palmarès long comme le bras mais certains le disaient sur le déclin voire fini. Sauf que les Champions ne meurent jamais et Alaph' a toujours refusé de baisser les bras et a su faire fi des chutes, des blessures, des traumas des critiques de Patrick Lefevere, son patron pour aller chercher enfin une victoire sur le Giro et rejoindre le clan des vainqueurs d'étapes sur les trois Grands Tours.Patron qui d'ailleurs n'a pas manqué de le féliciter et de revenir sur cette victoire lors de Bartoli Time.  Poggie lui-même en a été de son mot ou même ses adversaires car Alaphilippe est de ceux qui mettent tout le monde d'accord. Alors quel impact donner à cette victoire, en fait-on trop ? Est-ce le retour du grand Julian ou juste un baroud d'honneur ? Yohan Bredow, Cyrille Guimard, Pierre Koetschet et Kevin Morand en débriefent dans Grand Plateau ! Production : Roxanne LacuskaRéalisation : Vincent Cauchois

At 21 years old, Luke Lamperti is already riding for one of the biggest teams in the WorldTour, Soudal–Quick-Step, and he's hit the ground running. Since the season began, he's racked up podiums at the Challenge Mallorca, the Muscat Classic, and the Tour of Oman, solidifying his place as a young rider to watch. Before signing with Quick-Step, he raced alongside Tom Pidcock on the Trinity Racing development team where he honed his reputation as a formidable sprinter, but he's still figuring out where his skills lie. At the start of the season, Quick-Step manager Patrick Lefevere invoked Tom Boonen's name when speculating about Luke's potential as a Classics rider, and the team has already given the newcomer plenty of opportunities to flex his muscles.Luke sat down with Payson in Girona earlier this month to talk about his first few months in the WorldTour, including what it's like to have your idols become your teammates, coming to terms with just how good riders like Wout van Aert are when you have to race alongside them, and why his lifestyle hasn't changed much despite having joined the highest echelons of the sport. He also talks about growing up in a ranching family, his love of motocross, and keeping a level head despite the breathless media coverage surrounding his first season. Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen

In this week's episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by the veteran French journalist François Thomazeau and the Aussie former Classics maestro Mitch Docker to recap Opening Weekend - the Belgian double-header dominated, as per the predictions, by the Visma-Lease a Bike team.  Wout Van Aert was the favourite for Saturday's Omloop het Nieuwsblad and indeed looked to be zeroing in on victory until the peloton him down in the closing kilometres. It was left to Jan Tratnik to ‘save' Visma-Lease a Bike and take the win…with Van Aert having to wait until the following day's Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne to open his Classics account for 2024. We discuss these and other notable performances from the two races, and also hear from Bahrain Victorious's Fred Wright about what went…wrong for him at Omloop. Julian Alaphilippe, too, has had better weekends, and would have been hoping for a better response to his boss, Patrick Lefevere's, recent criticism in the Belgian media. Nevertheless, we ask: what exactly was Lefevere playing at?  Follow us on social media: Twitter @cycling_podcast Instagram @thecyclingpodcast The 11.01 Cappuccino Our regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

Patrick Lefevere. Alleen de naam al doet sommige renners, journalisten en zaakwaarnemers sidderen. Aan de andere kant zijn er net zoveel, of misschien wel meer, die met hem weglopen. Hij vertelt over de bijna-fusie met toenmalig Jumbo-Visma en hoe hij voorspelde dat het "een bloedbad" ging worden, over de druk op Evenpoel en hoe hij zijn ploeg runt.Bram en Jonne gingen op audiëntie bij Patrick Lefevere bij de servicekoers van Soudal-Quickstep te Wevelgem.Extra speciale dank vandaag voor alle Vrienden van de Show, zonder jullie konden we deze show niet maken!

Before migrating to off-road racing last year, Czech cyclist Petr Vakoč spent nearly 10 years racing in the WorldTour, most notably as a member of team Quick-Step. During his road career, he made the start list of multiple Grand Tours, including the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia, and won the Brabantse Pijl in Belgium in 2016 after years of focused preparation.Payson sat down with Petr in Girona this week to talk about growing up in Prague and starting out mountain biking with his brother. They discuss Petr's early dedication to turning pro, which included learning to speak French, and a two-month winning spree that finally caught the attention of Quick-Step team manager Patrick Lefevere and earned him a place within the legendary Wolf Pack. Petr also talks about his breakaway win at Brabantse and why he decided to retire from the road at 30 to focus on off-road racing. Instagram: @theadventurestache

A special extended episode of RadioCycling comes live from Paris, as we attend the prestigious Vélo d'Or awards and the 2024 route announcements of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes.Our 24-hour Parisian special begins at the Pavilion Gabriel, just off the Champs-Élysées, where the great (most notably Eddy Merckx and Bernard Hinault) and good gathered for the first formal presentation of the prestigious Vélo d'Or awards by French magazine Vélo. We hear from the winners – or at least those that attended rather than opting for a short break at EuroDisney – including Demi Vollering, who swept up many of the major events on the women's calendar during a season when her SD Worx team were all-conquering.Our special continues at the Tour de France presentations at Paris's Palais de Congrès. We hear from Mark Cavendish, Jonas Vingegaard, Jasper Philipsen, Demi Vollering once again, Audrey Cordon-Ragot, Patrick Lefevere and Richard Plugge, who give their thoughts on what lies ahead at next season's two biggest races.The episode ends with our analysis of the two routes, including the significance of the Tour de France Femmes' first visit to Alpe d'Huez, the fuss generated by the Tour de France's inclusion of 32km of racing on gravel, and an examination of the key stages in both events.This podcast is brought to you with the support of our sponsor, Saddle Skedaddle. Support the show

The European road season may be heading for its grand finale in Lombardy this weekend, but there's no end yet to the talk of mergers. As uncertainty continues to linger over the men's peloton, these are RadioCycling's headlines...  Blood on the carpet – with the UCI weighing in as the Jumbo-Visma/Soudal-QuickStep merger meltdown continues, we examine the latest developments in this ongoing saga. Is SQS boss Patrick Lefevere the good guy? And what of Richard Plugge,  the Jumbo-Visma  boss who's also the head of the professional teams' association. Has his reputation been tarnished?Money, money, money – Bahrain want even more: They may be backed to the tune of €30 million a season, but that's little more than half the funding that the strongest teams now pull in. We hear from Bahrain boss Milan Erzen about his thwarted desire to prevent Mikel Landa from leaving, why he was never in the market for Primož Roglič, and what the gulf state-backed team's Plan B if it can't find a secondary sponsor to invest €10 million or more. The Thibaut Pinot Ultras head for Lombardy: As the much-beloved Frenchman prepares to make his final racing appearance at Il Lombardia on Saturday, we hear from the Collectif Ultras Pinot, the fans who packed the final climb of the Tour de France in July and are now heading to Italy by all means possible to pay a final tribute to their sporting hero. They're planning quite a party!The long road back for Guangxi: After the cancellation of the last three editions due to the effects of the Covid pandemic, the Tour of Guangxi is not only back on the WorldTour calendar but also set to take place. Race director Olivier Senn tells us about the difficulties faced in relaunching it, why the 2023 route will look very similar to the last edition in 2019, and what the race's return means for the sporting landscape in China.Support the show

Dois temas importantes do RADIO desta segunda.Porém, o grande assunto do momento é a possível fusão da Jumbo com a Soudal-Quick Step. Os dois times com mais vitórias no ciclismo masculino podem estar costurando um acordo, segundo o sempre bem-informado site WielerFlits.nl.É o segundo grande borburinho envolvendo a equipe de Patrick Lefevere, depois de muita gente apostar que a INEOS Grenadiers seria a escolhida. Alguma coisa de verdade nisso existe. Agora, dá para imaginar o que se tornaria essa junção? Roglic e Remco juntos? Qual seria o fornecedor de bicicletas? Como fazer com os times feminos?

There's so much action taking place at the Glasgow "Super" World Championships  that there's hardly been time to squeeze in a podcast, but we've finally managed it and these are RadioCycling's latest headlines...We start, of course, in Scotland, with the World Championship version of the Wacky Races. It's been frantic, but fun. There's been griping about too many corners, too many potholes and even too much racing, but it's been impossible to avoid being swept up by the quantity, quality and beauty of the action. As well as offering our take on "cycling's Olympics", we hear from USA's Neilson Powless, British track gold medallist and (first the thing the next morning) Mixed Team Time Trial Relay member Ethan Vernon, and from Ineos coach, Team GB silver medallist and new father Dan Bigham. Despite various attempts to kill it, most notably from the man himself, the Remco Evenepoel transfer story refuses to go away.  In our latest update, we look at the spat between the rider's dad/agent and Soudal-QuickStep boss Patrick Lefevere and ask the obvious question: will he stay or will he go now?One of the central issues in the Remco saga is his team's need for reinforcements. In our analysis of the latest transfer news, we discuss whether Soudal-QuickStep are doing enough to satisfy their team leader's demands, highlight the new Portuguese stage racing talent who's been nabbed by UAE Team Emirates, and detail why the big winners in the transfer market have been... Lotto-Dstny.   Returning to the Glasgow Worlds, we also have one of the feelgood stories of the season. It features two Ugandan racers who've emerged from a biking-crazy orphanage in their home country to compete at the Worlds. We tell the story of U23 Paul Lomuria and junior Lawrence Lorot who, thanks in large part to a British bike event and charity,  are now attracting the interest of elite teams.We end with reflections on one of the sport's climbing greats, and arguably the climbing great, Federico Bahamontes, who died earlier this week – Tour winner, mountains king and fabled lover of an ice cream.Support the show

After an enthralling second edition of the Tour de France Femmes finishes with Demi Vollering's overall victory in Pau, these are RadioCycling's headlines...Bigger and better than in 2022, with a stronger, deeper and more competitive field, the Tour de France Femmes built towards a dramatic climax in the Pyrenean mist that will stay in the memory. We get a rider's perspective on the race from French star Audrey Cordon-Ragot.One of the dominant stories of the Tour de France Femmes was the crackdown by the UCI jury of commissaires on riders drafting behind cars when rejoining the peloton after a crash or a mechanical. Race winner Demi Vollering was penalised for doing it, while her Team SD Worx DS Danny Stam was kicked off the race for facilitating this. We examine the historical context for this hardline approach, hear from Stam and a fellow DS, Uno-X's Huub Duijn, who was also penalised, and from AG Insurance Soudal Quick-Step team leader Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio, who tells us the rules should be strictly and consistently imposed at all races.Remco Evenepoel's reign as world champion ended with him winning last weekend's Clásica San Sebastián, but the saga of his rumoured transfer away from Soudal-QuickStep rumbles on. Chris Marshall-Bell, who's so well informed on this story that even S-QS boss Patrick Lefevere asks him for the latest developments, provides an update on the those developments.As had been the case at the Tour de France, the issue of motorbikes and rider safety was highlighted on a number of occasions during the Tour de France Femmes. Adam Hansen, president of the riders' association (CPA), details the ways that things could be improved and explains his own invention of a laser-based system that could ensure that motorbikes don't hamper or interfere with racers.  And finally, in Ground Beans...– the latest on the transfer tug-of-war over Carlos Rodríguez– Caleb Ewan and Lotto-Dstny reach agreement on sprinter's future– Irish sprinter Sam Bennett set to move?Support the show

As the Tour de France pauses in Saint-Gervais for its second rest day, these are RadioCycling's latest headlines...The Tour remains on a knife-edge, with Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard so close to each other that they might as well be riding a tandem. We reflect on a Tour that's shaping up as even better than last year's and potentially as one of the best of all time.There's another fascinating battle going on away from the Tour action. The race for Remco Evenepoel is heating up. Although his Soudal-QuickStep boss Patrick Lefevere is adamant that he's got his Belgian team leader tied to a contract until 2026, the rider's "entourage" says he's not happy at being paid less than a third of Tadej Pogačar's salary. We hear from Lefevere and, with Ineos said to be interested, speak to their head of sport Dave Brailsford. We also reveal that no fewer than three other teams are ready to bid if Evenepoel does become available.Are Caleb Ewan and the Lotto-Dstny team heading for divorce? That seems increasingly likely after team manager Stéphane Heulot questioned the Australian sprinter's commitment and attitude after Ewan abandoned the race on Friday. We look at why Heulot's so aggrieved and hear from Ewan's agent, who suggests a permanent separation is possible before the Australian's contract ends at the end of next season.Another manager was making news at the Tour on Sunday, or more precisely an ex-manager. Legendary Arsenal boss Arsène Wenger was one of the race's VIPs in the Alps, and told RadioCycling about his long-time love of cycling, how the sport has followed the same science-focused path as football, and gave his verdict on the Pogačar-Vingegaard battle.And finally, in our Coffee Beans section...– Roglič sticks with Jumbo-Visma despite Ineos rumours– Brailsford confesses he's missed cycling Support the show

Elke dag tijdens de Tour de France blikken Thijs Zonneveld en Hidde van Warmerdam terug op de etappe van de dag. Vandaag een sprint 'op de macht' in Limoges.

As the Tour de France heads for the Pyrenees, these are RadioCycling's news headlines...Wout van Aert hasn't looked like a happy camper at times during the Tour's opening days, but Jumbo-Visma's head of performance Merijn Zeeman tells us that there's no rift  at all between the Dutch team's multi-talented Belgian powerhouse and their Danish leader and defending Tour champion Jonas Vingegaard. It's nothing more than the Belgian press creating something out of nothing, Zeeman asserts.Our man in the Tour's media mixed zone, Chris "Listen Boy" Marshall-Bell, catches Soudal-QuickStep boss Patrick Lefevere in chatty mood even when the subject of team leader Remco Evenepoel's future is brought up.  Lefevere tells us Remco's happy where he is, has signed a contract to 2026, and that Ineos should look elsewhere for another Grand Tour big-hitter.Four days into the initiative that has resulted in messages broadcast over team radio being relayed on TV broadcasts and the initial verdict is in. And the 17 teams taking part are... largely indifferent to be honest. However, Bora-Hansgrohe sporting director Rolf Aldag acknowledges that they can be useful to fans, even in situations where teams might be embarrassed about what's being said.We also speak to Astana-Qazaqstan team manager Alexandre Vinokourov, who talks Mark Cavendish, welcomes the arrival of a new secondary sponsor, insists that the Kazakh team will retain its general classification focus, but knocks down the suggestion that there's any weight to the rumours that they might have an interest in bringing Colombia's Nairo Quintana back into the peloton from competitive exile.PLUS, in our Coffee Beans segment at the end of the show...• Netflix  set their focus on Mark Cavendish for series 2 of Unchained   • Jai Hindley backs Simon Yates for a Tour podium challenge• Sam Bennett wants out of Bora after Tour non-selectionSupport the show

Sir Bradley Wiggins returns alongside Matt Stephens and Anders Mielke to dissect the first three stages of the Tour de France. Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl doubled up over the first three stages – with successes for Yves Lampaert and Fabio Jakobsen – while BikeExchange–Jayco's Dylan Groenewegen collected the final stage in Denmark ahead of the rest day and the race heading to France. Mielke revealed that the lack of crosswinds on the Great Belt Bridge will have left director of the Tour Christian Prudhomme disappointed with a dream crushed. Wiggins, Stephens and Mielke look at Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team's stunning start to the 2022 edition of the race. Patrick Lefevere had come in for some criticism for leaving Mark Cavendish out of the Quick-Step line-up. However, Stephens added that Cavendish has no issue with Fabio Jakobsen or his selection for the race, but hinted that clear communication regarding selection was a little lacking. While Lefevere is a polarising character – who should not be immune to criticism - his winning mentality is beyond reproach, adds Stephens. The guys also talk Groenewegen's emotional win, and “the classiest act in the world on a bike” Wout van Aert. Wiggins re-lives the Grand Depart in the UK, and there is special praise for fans from Denmark after the opening three stages.

Magnus Cort sikrede sig den prikkede bjergtrøje på 2. etape af årets Tour de France på etapen fra Roskilde til Nyborg, der dog ikke blev det sidevindsræs, som mange havde håbet på.

Just as expected, the 2022 Paris-Roubaix weekend had it all, from crashes to collapsing wheels, bloodied knees to euphoria. In the latest Aérogramme podcast, OJ Borg, Jeremy Whittle, James Startt and Peter Cossins chat through the highlights, dramas and also the controversies of this year's 'Hell of the North,' as first Elisa Longo Borghini and then Dylan van Baarle took spectacular solo victories.Borghini made it two in a row for Trek-Segafredo in the women's race, and then Van Baarle won the fastest-ever edition of the men's race and Ineos Grenadiers — formerly Team Sky, of course — ended their decade-long wait for a cobblestone trophy. Meanwhile, after his rider Yves Lampaert collided with a roadside fan, Quickstep Alpha Vinyl boss Patrick Lefevere was sounding off once again, which left our team wondering if that's always such a good thing…

Patrick Lefevere is de centrale gast in een speciale editie van onze wielerpodcast Onze Sterren voor Parijs-Roubaix en de Waalse klassiekers. De CEO van Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl beseft dat zijn ploeg ondanks de achttien overwinningen dit voorjaar te vaak in de hoek zit waar de klappen vallen. Maar panikeren? Ho maar. "Zelfs als het slecht gaat, praat iedereen over ons. Lotto Soudal rijdt ook slecht, maar zij staan niet in de krant." De geschiedenis biedt hoop, want Lefevere boekte de voorbije twintig jaar twaalf zeges in Roubaix, vier in de Waalse Pijl en vier in Luik-Bastenaken-Luik. "Ik ben even nieuwsgierig als jullie naar Remco Evenepoel in de Waalse klassiekers."Productie Het Nieuwsblad | Stemmen Michaël Van Damme, Jan-Pieter De Vlieger en Patrick Lefevere | Audiomontage Xavier De Clercq en Tom Soetaert (House of Media)

Matt Stephens enjoys the company of the 2021 Tour of Flanders champion, Kasper Asgreen, in this monumental episode. Knowing your strengths is a key attribute of any successful bike racer, but it's the execution that really matters, as Kasper recalls his tactical approach to winning the Ronde Van Vlaanderen last season. He also remembers the moment Patrick Lefevere really made him sweat - just before offering him a place on his dream team, Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl. But it was Kasper's hidden talents that left the biggest impression on our host, and it's a matter of time before we find out if he will fulfil Matt's request to display them on the podium.
