Detunink Quickstep Celebrates 68 Wins in 2019 - Video

Deceuninck-QuickStep continued to cement its position as the most successful team in the sport by racking up 68 wins in the 2019 season and winning the UCI World Team Class for the second consecutive year.

They may have fallen five wins short of the Belgian WorldTour team's 73 wins in 2018, but Philippe Gilbert's first career Paris-Roubaix title and Julien Alaphilippe's 14 days in the yellow jersey at the Tour de France made There is no doubt that it was something special.

Below is a great new video called "Riding with the wolves": it introduces the 2019 season of Detuning Quickstep and is posted on the team website: Holy Week, Crescendo, and Running with the Wolves. and was created by La Pedale, the creator of the trilogy, and recounts a very successful year for the self-proclaimed "Wolfpack."

Alaphilippe won two stages in the Tour de France, including Strade Bianche, Milan-San Remo, and Flèche Wallonne, and at one point was thought to be on the podium with 12 wins.

Elia Viviani finished first 11 times in 2019, including the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, a stage at the Tour de France, the European Championships Road Race, and the Cyclassics Hamburg. [Gilbert will move to Lotto Soudal and Viviani to Cofidis.

Fabio Jacobsen and Alvaro Hodeg continued their development with the team, contributing to the Dutch road race title and two stages of the Vuelta a España, as well as stage wins in the Adriatica Ioncia race and the Binkbank Tour.

Entering his first professional season at age 19, Evenepoel had already won a stage and the overall at the Baloise Belgian Tour by June, a stage win at the Adriatica Ionica Race, and a big win at the Clasica San Sebastian in August, European Championships time trial win and a silver medal in the World Championships time trial.

Meanwhile, in his first full season with the team, 24-year-old Asgreen took an unlikely second place at the Tour of Flanders in April, won stages at the Tour of California and the Tour of Deutschland, and became the Danish time trial champion.

As the team points out, he spent more than 600 days in the UCI World Team Class, winning the title two years in a row, and this year marked his 700th win since the team was founded in 2003.

Few would bet against Dečuninck-Quick-Step coming out on top again in 2020.
