2014 season

Wellens at the 2014 Giro d'Italia

In August 2014, Wellens won Stage 6 in the Eneco Tour with a solo breakaway.[10] The time he gained on this stage meant he ultimately won the race overall.

2015 season

He was named in the start list for the Tour de France.[11] At the Eneco Tour, on Stage 6 Wellens attacked on the Côte Saint-Roch, then won nine seconds in the sprints in the golden kilometre. The main group was not able to chase Wellens down and his lead extended during the downhill run into Houffalize; he won the stage by 49 seconds ahead of Greg Van Avermaet, with Simon Geschke third. Wellens moved into the overall lead, 1' 03" ahead of Van Avermaet, with Wilco Kelderman dropping to third.[12] Wellens defended his lead on the final stage to win his second successive Eneco Tour.

2016 season

At the Giro d'Italia, Wellens won Stage 6 after joining the successful breakaway partway through the stage. In July 2016, Wellens won Stage 5 of the Tour de Pologne with a solo breakaway in a rain soaked stage in which 85 riders abandoned.[13] This gave him a lead of over 4 minutes in the general classification, which he successfully defended to the end of the race.

2017 season

Wellens abandoned Stage 15 of the Tour de France because of heat and pollen allergies which he refused to treat with a therapeutic use exemption (TUE), which he does not approve to use.[14] Despite having asthma, Wellens does not use an inhaler and also criticised Chris Froome during his salbutamol case.

2018 season

Wellens' first victory in 2018 came at the Trofeo Serra de Tramuntana where he won the race for a second year in a row.[15] At the Vuelta a Andalucía, Wellens won stage 4 and took the lead of the overall standings, by beating Mikel Landa on the cobbled climb of Alcalá de los Gazules.[16]

2020 season

In October 2020, he was named in the startlist for the Vuelta a España.[17] He won two stages during the race, and finished second to Guillaume Martin in the mountains classification.[18][19]

2021 season

In February 2021, he won stage 3 of the Étoile de Bessèges and finished first in the general classification.[20]
