Guillaume — known to everyone on the team as Gulio for his perfect hair — is one of the most promising riders on the international circuit. Cycling is in his blood. His father, Kurt, was a serious pro in the ’80s, and his maternal grandfather, Benoni Beheyt, was the 1963 world champion in Ronse. The 2014 season was his most successful yet for Guillaume as a professional, with three big victories highlighted by the overall at VDK Driedaagse de Panne – Koksijde and his first WorldTour victory (Eneco Tour Stage 7). He also won the “Best Young Rider” jersey at Tour of Qatar. In 2015 Guillaume will continue to develop his potential, especially in the cobbled classics where, as a junior, he claimed an excellent win in Roubaix.

Guillaume's news

Etixx - Quick-Step has reached a one-year contract extension agreement with Guillaume Van Keirsbulck. The Belgian rider has been with the team since 2010, with his best year in 2014. He earned three victories including a stage of Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen, an overall victory at Driedaagse de Panne - Koksijde, and a win in the 7th stage of Eneco Tour. Van Keirsbulck's 2015 season was adversely affected by health complications, which required surgery.

Etixx - Quick-Step rider Guillaume Van Keirsbulck left Monica Zeikenhuis-Antwerpen today after successful surgery on Monday, which was performed by Dr. Geert Mahieu on a herniated disc at the level of L4 and L5 on the lumbar spine.

Etixx - Quick-Step riders Guillaume Van Keirsbulck and Yves Lampaert made it into a front group of an exciting 183.4km Stage 1 of Ster ZLM Toer Jan van Heeswijk on Thursday, after the peloton split into pieces due to the wind. Andre Greipel (Lotto Soudal) ultimately won the stage, and took over the race lead as the gaps were significant between groups. Edward Theuns (Topsport Vlaanderen - Baloise) was 2nd, and Danny van Poppel (Trek Factory Racing) finished 3rd. Lampaert crossed the line in 8th place.
