They reject a meeting for good cycling integration and a letter is leaked: “It’s a big piece of shit”

The cycling world is attentive to the great issue of the moment: the possible merger between the Jumbo-Visma and Quick-Step teams, something that will mean a real earthquake for this sport because of all the consequences it entails, with the formation of a team full of stars and many other cyclists who will have to find a new destination. For now, no one knows what will happen and if in the end everything will remain “can’t.” What is more clear is the position of the director of one of the teams involved in said rumor, the director of Quick-Step, Patrick Lefevere. The Belgian responded to some rumors that he was seen at the headquarters of Jumbo-Visma, and he did so forcefully through the social network ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter).

“Big shit, gentlemen. I’ve never been to Jumbo Visma’s offices, when they were launching their virtual project”he declared in response to rumors that spoke of an alleged meeting between Lefevere and the leadership of Jumbo in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands).

In the meantime, I ask everyone to continue to show the team spirit and unity that pervades our team. “We are at the end of a long season but we still have several objectives left to make another memorable year for the team,” he added in that letter, in response to information from the media Wielterflits, who announced that the possible merger between Jumbo -Visma and Quick Step in 2024 it is “a matter of time.”
