Remco Evenepoel became the youngest male rider to ever win the coveted Kristallen Fiets, the crystal bicycle trophy for best rider of the year. The 19-year-old topped his older Deceuninck-QuickStep teammate Philippe Gilbert and Jumbo-Visma's Wout van Aert for the honour.

Sanne Cant claimed a repeat win in the women's category, with Ilan Van Wilder the best young rider. Tim Declercq was named as the best domestique. Patrick Lefevere gave Deceuninck-QuickStep its third trophy of the night, winning the award for best team leader.

The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
