The opportunity, no doubt also for the Lefevere-Evenepoel trio, to talk regarding the interest of the Ineos Grenadiers team for the 22-year-old nugget.
This Tuesday, the specialized site VeloNews revealed that Dave Brailsford, the manager of the British team Ineos Grenadiers, had sent a message to Patrick Lefevere.
The boss of Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl had confirmed the information: “Dave Brailsford texted me and he’s not texting many. He told me : ‘congratulations, what a champion, if you want to sell it one day, call me’.“
Which is obviously not in the plans of Patrick Lefevere who signed Evenepoel until the end of the 2026 season:“If Dave wants it, he probably needs a lot of money.“
The story is identical in the Evenepoel clan, as confirmed by Patrick Lefevere: “They both told me not to believe anything in this Ineos saga.”
