Kasper Asgreen will stay with Deceuninck-QuickStep until at least 2024, signing a new three-year contract after winning the Tour of Flanders

The 26-year-old Dane has stormed through the ranks of the Belgium team since being called up to plug injury gaps part-way through 2018 and has now established himself as one of the world's leading cobbled Classics riders.
