Mauri Vansevenant

Mauri's biography

Son of former professional rider Wim Vansevenant, 21-year-old Mauri – who is named after 1991 Vuelta a España winner Melcior Mauri – started riding at the age of 12, and after a couple of years in cyclo-cross he made the transition to road cycling. Last season, he turned heads after becoming the first Belgian in 36 years to win the Giro della Valle d’Aosta, arguably the toughest U23 race on the calendar, following a remarkable consistency and show of strength on the climbs.

Having completed his studies in Electromechanics at the beginning of the summer, Mauri joins our squad with a high degree of confidence and ambition: “It is fantastic to know that from now on I’ll wear the Deceuninck – Quick-Step jersey! It’s a big team, one of the best there is, and I am hoping that I can progress with the Wolfpack, learn, prove my worth and have a beautiful future.”
