The Wolfpack Howls

Jolien D’Hoore is our guest for this episode of the Wolfpack Howls.  After a stellar career as a professional cyclist, that saw her win over 40 races, Jolien has become one of the leading sports directors in women’s cycling, masterminding some of the greatest days in the history of AG Insurance Soudal. Here she tells us about her love for the sport, some of her favourite days in cycling, what it is like to work some of the best young and talented riders around, and how both AG Insurance Soudal and Soudal Quick-Step are benefitting from being part of the Wolfpack eco system.

We sat down with Louis Vervaeke, one of the most fascinating characters in our team. A committed family man, Louis tells us about both his love of his wife and children, as well as his other family in the shape of Soudal - Quick-Step.  He also tells us what life is like as a professional cyclist at an altitude training camp, his favourite moments with the team, and the difference in working with two of the world’s most famous cyclists; Mathieu van der Poel and our very own Remco Evenepoel.

In the second of our winter specials, we talk to experienced Sports Director Geert van Bondt  A compelling conversation leads us on to talking about what he has been up to this winter, his philosophy on being a sports director, how he took time away from the sport and it rounded his perspective on life, and his famous win as a rider at Gent–Wevelgem

We are back! After a short hiatus, the Wolfpack Howls has returned. Over the next couple of months, we are looking to bring you some insight in to what the team up to this winter, and how they are preparing for 2025.  We start with a look to the future of the team, by chatting with Kevin Hulsmans, the manager of the Soudal Quick-Step Devo team. Now in its third year as a part of the Wolfpack, the Devo team is setup to give the best U23 riders a chance to taste what it is like to be a professional cyclist, and give them a supportive environment where their talents can flourish, and they can become the best cyclists and young men that they can be.  During our chat, Kevin tells us about his cycling background, including his time as a rider with our team,  how he came to the role he has now, and why he is so passionate about helping young riders, before giving his review of the 2024 season and his over of the 2025 Devo team alumni. We are back!

The Wolfpack means so much more than just Soudal Quick-Step, with the family including past and present riders and staff, our development team, and our sister AG Insurance Soudal women’s team.  With Le Tour de France Femme starting on Monday, we sat down with Kim Le Court to give us the lowdown on the team, what its like being a cyclist on the island of Mauritius, and how much she and the team are looking forward to the the Grand Depart in Rotterdam
