The Wolfpack Howls Soudal Quick-Step Pro Cycling

Landismo and Taylor Swift! We bet this wasn’t on your bingo card when it came to a podcast featuring Mikel Landa.



We talked about this and a lot more – from Mikel’s recovery after his Itzulia crash and hopes for the summer to his favourite climbs in the Basque Country and the race he still dreams of winning before retiring, and who he shares his birthday with!

Belgian National Champion and World Individual Time Trial Champion, Remco Evenepoel joins the Wolfpack Howls for his first interview since his crash at Itzulia Basque Country.

 

In the candid conversation, Remco gives an update on his inuries and his plans to get back to training soon, what happened that days on the road around Victoria, what he has been doing with his time off the bike, how he reviews his 2024 so far, and his hopes for the months ahead, including the Tour de France and the Olympic Games.

 

He was a member of the team in 2016-2017 and he looks back on that period as the best years of his career. During that two-year spell, Dan Martin hit new heights, finishing on the podium at some of the most prestigious races in the world – Flèche Wallonne, Liège–Bastogne–Liège, Paris-Nice, Volta a Catalunya, and the Critérium du Dauphiné – as well as taking his best result ever at the Tour de France, sixth overall.



Ahead of the Ardennes Classics, we caught up with Dan for a chat about his time with the Wolfpack, the many friendship relationships forged back then that have stood the test of time, the best moments of his career, his take on what makes the Mur de Huy so special and the route changes of “La Doyenne”, and answering the question that the world needs answering: Who would win between a Panda and a Wolf!

In the second part of our special preview of cycling's Holy Week, Niki Terpstra talks about his success at the Hell of the North in 2014.

Ahead of  Holy Week, 7 special days where cycling focuses on its most revered cobbled races, in Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris-Roubaix, we sat down with a former Wolf that succeed in both races. 



Niki Terpstra won 17 races during his 8 years with our team, most famously winning both De Ronde and Hell of the North. 



During this first part of a two part special, Niki talks of his time with the Wolfpack, his reflection on the classics season so far, and what it is what makes De Ronde so special. 



Look out for the second part next week, when we will look forward to Paris-Roubaix

From the classroom to the chaotic sprint finishes of the pre peloton, Tim Merlier and Bert Van Lerberghe have been friends for over 20 years.



Since meeting in school, the pair have built an enduring bond that has seen them grow on to a formidable leadout man/sprinter partnership, with the pair having an understanding that allows them to navigate the cycling's hectic lunges for the finish line.



In this chat with The Wolfpack Howls, they tell how others often think that their teasing of each other is them arguing, about what it would be like for Tim to lead out Bert, and their passions away from road racing, in particular how Bert has made a name for himself as a furniture maker.
