Victories 2024: 26

That's nine fewer victories for Alpecin-Deceuninck than in 2023, although the victories in 2024 were extremely high-calibre. The team won three monuments (two in 2023): Milan-San Remo (Jasper Philipsen), Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix (both Mathieu van der Poel). In the Tour de France, Philipsen won three stages this year - four in 2023.

Driver with the most victories: 9

Unsurprisingly, Jasper Philipsen once again took the most victories for Alpecin-Deceuninck - albeit ten fewer than last year (19). With his triumph at Milan-San Remo and second place at Paris-Roubaix, the lightning-fast Belgian once again proved that he is not only a sprinter but also a classics specialist.

Most racing days: 82

Edward Planckaert raced for Alpecin-Deceuninck for 82 days in 2024. The 29-year-old Belgian did the lion's share in his two Grand Tours, the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a Espana. In addition, there are stage races such as Etoile de Besseges, Paris-Nice and the Tour of Catalonia in the spring. In total, Planckaert's racing kilometres add up to 13,136 - also a top figure for Belgians.
