The Belgian developed inflammation of his heart tissue after contracting COVID-19 earlier in the spring.

The so-called 'Wolfpack' vows to rev things up after 'only' one win in the opening month of classics-style racing the Belgian outfit typically dominates.

The former Classics specialist watched ‘opening weekend’ and shared his exclusive thoughts on the dominance of Jumbo-Visma and the tough questions facing Quick-Step.
