Soudal-QuickStep is gearing up for the Tour de France, competing against teams led by Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard. The squad has been impacted by the loss of climber Mikel Landa. Ilan Van Wilder is expected to support Remco Evenepoel, having previously aided him in past races. Evenepoel has expressed frustration with comparisons to wealthier teams, insisting that his team members are committed and capable despite criticism of their performance.
"It's a bit of the same story with the criticism, but I'm much less concerned about it. It's very easy to always compare us with teams that use captains as domestiques, like UAE. In my opinion, that's not a realistic comparison."
"We really feel like shit" reflects the frustration felt by Van Wilder and the team regarding the criticism of their performance compared to wealthier rivals.
