On 19 July 2016, UCI World Tour team Quick-Step Floors announced the signing of Cavagna for the 2017 season.[5] In May 2018, he was named in the startlist for the 2018 Giro d'Italia.[6] In August 2019, he was named in the startlist for the 2019 Vuelta a España.[7] In August 2020, he was named in the startlist for the 2020 Tour de France.[8]
At the 2021 tour of Poland, Remi won stage 6 of the race.[9]
At the 2023 Tour of Slovakia, Remi won the opening stage of the race and finished the tour in first place.[10] Later in the year he won the French time trial championships ahead of Bruno Armirail.[11]
In October 2023, Rémi was announced as one of seven new signings for Spanish team Movistar for 2024, alongsid Davide Formolo, leaving his current team Soudal Quick-Step, at the end of the 2023 season.[12]
In June 2024, Cavagna said that "I came to the team to progress and I feel like I’ve taken a step backwards”.[13] It seemed that he was also struggling with a language barrier, with the team radios being in Spanish, and last minute changes to his programme were reasons for struggles during the season.[14]
Cavagna will leave Movistar Team at the end of the 2024 season, due to having a bad relationship with them, despite signing a 3 year contract up until the end of 2026.[15] He is set to join Groupama–FDJ having signed a two year deal.[16]
