Funny, we have spent more time watching DeClerq on the front than the big leaders over the years. He is as much the legacy as the guys that get to raise there arms

My wife always asked "where’s the tractor" when she would peek in to watch a race. We all loved seeing a huge smile while pulling along the best cyclist in the world. Wonderful character in the peloton

Iconic rider... you can't miss him

Sometimes a nickname is a curse, "Bling" comes to mind. El tractor is the best - in every way!

What a great guy, all the best!

A few years ago the Wolfpack dominated the classics completely. 👍Thank you for all the hard work Tim👍 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

we all recognise Tim on the front of the bunch and what a great job he has done for his team mates - what a gentleman.... thanks for the memories

Has been agreat servant for this team..good luck for his future. great to watch his consistency, great team mate

We love you Tim!

i can't believe he'll ride next year for another team...thanks for everything man and good luck in 2024!

Absolute hero

I am a Tim Declercq fan so I go where he goes. I love watching him do his thing and I know Lidl-Trek is going to benefit from his leadership.

He will be missed

A legend

The peloton will not be the same 😭

Uma pena.. 😢

Great man in sport, discarded the way manager QS is doing it is at the end if the day disgusting. Patrick need to go. DT of cycling . Rootless no need for his presence in today's sport. My opinion. Thank you Tim for your service ! Have good retirement whatever you are going to do .Cheers

De ploegleiding van QuickStep heeft een merkwaardige manier van afdanken van gouden pionnen. Of het nu een CX-legende is, een sprinter die bijna het leven liet voor QS, en nu de meest trouwe en stabiele trekker van de hele ploeg. Moet niet plezant zijn om zo afgedankt te worden.

oh no ! , it wont be the same without this fella on the front for 50miles at a time 🥲 wow didnt know was on mapei team how long for Thomas de Gendt
