The post-Lefevere CEO trying to modernise the Wolfpack without sanding off the edge that made it famous.

Jurgen Fore paper-collage staff portrait

Jurgen Fore came into Soudal Quick-Step leadership from a business and consultancy background, arriving as the team entered a generational transition. For decades, Quick-Step had been inseparable from Patrick Lefevere's personality: hard, Belgian, Classics-first, and brutally clear about winning.

Fore's job is different. He has to keep the Wolfpack commercially stable and sporting-relevant after the departure of Remco Evenepoel, while preserving the sprint and Classics DNA that still makes Soudal Quick-Step a feared name in the bunch. That means building a management culture that is less one-man empire and more modern sports organisation.

At the 2026 Tour, the immediate ambition is stage wins with Tim Merlier and a new shape around Ilan Van Wilder. Fore's importance is in whether the team can remain elite after losing the rider who defined its previous era.

Why it mattersSoudal Quick-Step is living through a succession story, and Fore is the new executive face of it.
