The Wolfpack Howls

Today’s guest is Jasper Stuyven, one of the most renowned classics riders of his generation — a Monument winner with a reputation for intelligence, resilience, and big-race pedigree. He also comes from a family of chocolate makers, which feels entirely fitting for a rider who brings both craft and character to everything he does.

Letizia Borghesi has built her reputation on the harsh cobbled roads of northern France and Flanders.Originally from Cles in Italy and raised in a cycling family, with both her father and sister competing, Letizia caught the bug early and joins AG Insurance–Soudal this winter ready for a new chapter.In the latest episode of The Wolfpack Howls, she talks about her family’s influence, how her love of animals keeps her grounded away from racing, her studies in sports nutrition, and her ambitions for the season ahead.

Now considered one of Soudal Quick-Step’s more established riders, it’s easy to forget that Ilan Van Wilder is still only 25.That’s likely because he has already played a role in many of the team’s standout moments in recent years; from selfless work setting up teammates to riding for his own results in stages races and holly classics a like. In this episode of The Wolfpack Howls, Ilan looks back on some of his favourite memories with the team, shares his ambitions for the new season, and explains his personal approach to preparing for a new campaign.

In this episode of The Wolfpack Howls, we sit down with Henrique Bravo following his first full season in Europe with the Soudal Quick-Step Devo team. The Brazilian reflects on the challenge of adapting to European racing and life far from home, and what his first year has taught him both on and off the bike.A natural climber, Henrique talks through key moments of the season, including top-10 GC finishes at Giro della Valle d’Aosta and Tour Alsace, and explains what those performances revealed about his potential in the mountains. He also shares what a perfect climbing day feels like, how his background in mountain biking continues to shape his confidence and racing style, about racing the World Championships in Rwanda, building his base in Girona, and the importance of family as he works toward the next steps in his development. 

The Wolfpack Howls returns, and in our first episode of 2026 we speak to a rider who has taken the peloton by storm over the last year.Paul Magnier stormed to 19 victories in 2025, but the road to success was anything but smooth for the enigmatic Frenchman.In this episode, Magnier reflects on overcoming a difficult spring campaign to become the second-most successful rider in the world by individual wins, and looks ahead to his ambitions for the season to come.

In the second of our episodes from La Vuelta, Max Schachmann joined us from the team’s rest day hotel in Asturias. He told us of the fighting spirit within the team despairs two dropouts due to illness and how he is seeing the development of his young teammate Junior Lecerf, who this weekend climbed in to the top 10 on GC. He also tells us how his daughter has cycling inspired names for the family cat and her little brother who is due to be born this January. 

Today’s episode comes to you from the J-Hotel in Torino, which is T-Rex Quick-Step base for the start of La Vuelta 2025. And how could we possibly think of starting the final grand tour without speaking to today’s guest, one of the most enigmatic and popular riders in the peloton, Mikel Landa

Bert Van Lerberghe has been one of the most important – and underrated – figures in the Wolfpack’s sprint train for years.
