Career
In 2011, De Gendt won the opening stage of Paris-Nice and also won stage 7 of the Tour de Suisse. At the Tour de France, despite suffering a minor collarbone fracture, De Gendt had a strong final week, finishing sixth on stage 19 to Alpe d'Huez and fourth in the time trial the following day.
In 2012, De Gendt won stage 7 of Paris-Nice after a breakaway with Rein Taaramäe. In the Giro D'Italia he won the penultimate stage at the Stelvio Pass with a solo breakaway which brought him to fourth in the general classification. The following day he advanced to finish third in the final classification to take his first grand tour podium after passing Michele Scarponi in the final Time Trial.
In October 2013, Omega Pharma–Quick-Step announced that they were signing De Gendt for the 2014 season after the Vacansoleil–DCM outfit folded. After an uneventful season with them, De Gendt moved to Lotto-Soudal in 2015 for a two-year contract. At the 2016 Tour de France, he won stage 12 which finished at Mont Ventoux. At the 2017 Vuelta a España, De Gendt won stage 19 from a breakaway, completing his set of stage wins in all three Grand Tours.
