Growing up in Belgium, it was impossible for Quinten Hermans to escape the call of cycling. Surrounded by cyclocross culture, he was drawn to the sport from a young age. His first cross bike came from his father, and his first real steps in cycling were guided by Danny De Bie, the former coach of Bart Wellens, laying the foundations of a career built on grit, instinct, and racing intelligence. 

During the season, Quinten returns home to Limburg, Belgium, where he trains on completely flat roads. The terrain may be simple, but the conditions are anything but. Belgian weather offers a full spectrum: cold, wet, windy, and sometimes surprisingly mild, shaping riders who are resilient and adaptable. It’s in these demanding conditions that Quinten sharpens his edge between races. 

When it comes to racing, his heart beats fastest for the Ardennes Classics and the Grand Tours. Explosive efforts, selective climbs, and unpredictable scenarios suit his racing style perfectly. His ambition is clear: to deliver results early, be present and competitive throughout the season, and chase that elusive Grand Tour stage victory.

From the cyclocross fields of Belgium to the world’s biggest races, Quinten Hermans embodies instinctive racing, quiet determination, and the ability to risewhen it matters most. 

One moment stands above the rest. At Liège–Bastogne–Liège, Quinten sprinted to second place, without even knowing it was for the podium.
