The Wolfpack - Rik van Puymbroeck

The riders of Quick-Step Floors Cycling Team, the team built up around manager Patrick Lefevere, call themselves 'The Wolfpack'. With Belgian roots but an international outlook, the team has a truly impressive record of wins, with the 2018 season being the high point of their success so far. With Niki Terpstra, Quick-Step Floors Cycling Team won the Tour of Flanders, aka Flanders' Finest, and with the Luxembourger Bob Jungels they took Lige-Bastogne-Lige. The phenomenal sprinter Fernando Gaviria was omnipresent, while sports bomb Elia Viviani dominated the sprint in the Giro. The up-and-coming Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe demonstrated his climbing talent with victories in La Flche Wallonne, the Dauphin and the Tour de France. Iljo Keisse, Tim Declercq and Yves Lampaert led the field for kilometres. Former world champion and established rider Philippe Gilbert has put everything into a single objective: winning together! The Wolfpack came, saw and conquered. In this book, photographer Sigfrid Eggers offers a unique glimpse behind the scenes of a world-class cycling team.
