ProTeam Lotto Dstny wants to continue Classics’ flow in Scheldeprijs

On Wednesday, April 5th, the Lotto Dstny team will make its way to Terneuzen for the 111th edition of the Scheldeprijs (UCI 1.Pro), often referred to as the unofficial world championship of sprinting. From the start  in Terneuzen, the riders will head towards Schoten, where the final consists of four local laps, each including the cobbles of the Broekstraat. Caleb Ewan, Lotto Dstny's sprint leader and the 2020 Scheldeprijs winner, will be supported by a team of rouleurs, including Jasper De Buyst, Jarrad Drizners, Jacopo Guarnieri, Michael Schwarzmann, Rüdiger Selig, and Liam Slock.

The wind often plays a decisive role at Scheldeprijs, but the weather gods seem to be on the peloton's side this year. According to sports director Allan Davis, this bodes well for Lotto Dstny's plans: "While we still need to keep an eye on the weather forecast, it looks like the wind will remain calm on Wednesday. This doesn't really change our tactics, but it does work in our favor. With Caleb Ewan on our team, we're aiming for a sprint, where he can show his fast legs."

After a series of strong performances in the spring classics, Davis is looking forward to the Scheldeprijs: "We hope to maintain the momentum and build on the success of the past few weeks. The entire team is focused, and we've already achieved some great results this season. The classics have been going well so far, and we want to continue this positive trend."
