The Wolfpack Way Winning is an Attitude. And Hard Work

Wout Beel, Deceuninck-Quick-Step

The year 2021 was another amazing year for the Wolfpack, the dream cycling team of Patrick Lefevere. Davide Ballerini won the Omloop, Kasper Asgreen took the E3 and the Tour of Flanders, and Sam Bennett, Mark Cavendish, Remco Evenepoel and Julian Alaphilippe all gathered victories, while Michael Morkov took Olympic Gold on the track. In this book you’ll follow the cyclists through the lens of Wout Beel: in an intimate family circle during their few free moments, in total ecstasy after a victory, in decompression on the team bus. See them fall, get up and win again. A group portrait that will stay with you forever.
