Team background
Soudal Safety Jogger was founded in 2003, with the name Quick-Step-Davitamon. It was created out of the staff and orders from Domo-Farm Frites and Mapei-Quick-Step- who had disbanded after 9 years in the sport.
In 2005, the team had a break-out classics season, winning the Tour of Flanders, Paris Roubaix, the HEW Cyclassics, Züri-Metzgete and Il Lombardia. The following year they defended both the Tour of Flanders and Lombardy. They also won Milan-San Remo.
They are one of the most successful squads in history, and have won stages in a record 14 back to back editions of the Tour de France.
Quick-Step, a flooring company, has been a title sponsor of the team since its inception, with 2027 being the first season without them in the name. The team will be known as Soudal Safety Jogger going forwards. Soudal is a Belgian chemical company, and Safety Jogger is a global workwear brand.

- I’m still learning the calendar: is cyclocross mainly preparation for the spring classics, or does he race it as a separate goal as well? I’d love to see him back in the mud.jeremya04-11-2026
- The article makes it sound as if Roubaix is the only classic where he has a realistic shot. He’s been close in Flanders too, and one good tactical day can change everything.jennifer1904-11-2026
- Milan-Sanremo and Roubaix is a pretty special pair of Monuments. Any clues yet on which cyclocross races he’ll target?andrewf04-11-2026
- He’s right to be realistic about Flanders with Pogačar and Evenepoel around, but you can’t count Van Aert out on those roads. If he gets the right opportunity, he has the engine and experience to take it.davidm04-11-2026
- That Roubaix win felt like such a release after all the near-misses. Brilliant to hear that joy outweighed relief for Wout.patriciaw04-11-2026
- Why would a mountain time trial be different from a normal one? Is it just that the riders have to climb the whole course?samanthak03-11-2026
- I don’t quite buy the “fear of failure” argument. Riders can race the Giro and still have confidence in July; it comes down to recovery and planning, doesn’t it?patriciaw03-11-2026
- The Giro-Tour double is a massive ask, even for the very best. Pogačar made it look almost routine in 2024, but that’s hardly a sensible benchmark for everyone else!pedalpowe2903-11-2026
- Bakelants makes a fair point: if the 2027 Tour really suits Remco, he can’t afford to dilute the build-up. That 37km flat TT will be tempting, mind.julien03-11-2026
- Mont Blanc sounds like a spectacular finish, though four climbs on the final day might be a bit much after eight hard stages. Hope the route details are clear soon.raceready703-11-2026
