Lefevere: 'I hate' Red Bull boss Denk
Patrick Lefevere, who retired as Soudal-Quick Step team boss last year, continues to have strong feelings about Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe manager Ralph Denk after the latter tried for years to get Remco Evenepoel to leave Soudal for his own team, a move that ultimately happened last transfer season.
"I had sold Remco's project at Soudal for five years," Lefevere told La Dernière Heure. "And then, after three years, the trouble started. Denk offered Remco a contract. Since then, it hasn't stopped. I even filed a complaint with the UCI. Because there's a regulation that says all three parties must agree before a rider can break his contract."
Given those comments, it is hardly a surprise that Lefevere would express such a negative opinion of his counterpart at Red Bull: "I hate him," Lefevere said. "There were rules, and he ignored them." [La Dernière Heure]
