SOIGNEUR | The Secret Life of a Soigneur

  • Resumen

  • It's the final Tour de France episode, and we're featuring the team behind a World Tour team. To finish, we're taking a deep dive into the most crucial job in cycling—the soigneur. Are they a butler? A friend? A rider's Mum?


    We chatted with Kevin Verstaen, an experienced soigneur working for Soudal Quick-Step, who described the role as looking after the welfare of team members and being a "cyclist laborer."


    Soigneur stories often include humorous and challenging moments, and they usually see the riders more than their own family. Ultimately, a good soigneur is worth their weight in gold.


    Despite the long hours and demanding tasks, the role is fulfilling for those who love the sport, with good soigneurs being invaluable to the team.


    Hope you’ll enjoy this episode!
