But even if it's about the Tour... so far Evenepoel is part of the package. Alaphilippe might be, too. Last year they had the green jersey in the Tour. (Okay, today, they weren't that great...)
But there must be a good team behind and they have shown they can also work with and develope GC riders.
As the biggest Belgian team they also have access to a pool of young Belgian riders. I'm sure, there are more Belgian teenagers who want a cycling career than any others. And it must be attractive for them to go to a proven team which isn't far away.
Even if Quickstep do not have a clear GC rider for the Tour they are way more present in the Tour alone than most other teams.
No, I really don't get this and can only assume that either PL is exaggerating his problems or that sponsors want more control over things than he wants them to have. But that would be stupid of the sponsors, in my opinion, because however he is as a person, that man knows how to lead a cycling team.
