Remco Evenepoel, his father, and QuickStep-AlphaVinyl team manager Patrick Lefevere met for dinner in Belgium on Thursday evening in an attempt to play down reports that Ineos Grenadiers could try to sign the new world champion as their Tour de France leader. 

Lefevere posted a photo from the dinner on Instagram, describing the meal at the Michelin-star Sir Kwinten restaurant west of Brussels as "a nice business dinner".
