Patrick Lefevere has signalled that Stijn Devolder’s three-year tenure at Quick Step could be up after the Belgian performed poorly in both the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. Devolder’s current contract expires at the end of 2010 and Lefevere’s recent comments more than suggest he’s not a hurry to re-sign Devolder, who finished 25th in Flanders and 42nd in Roubaix.
