ProTeam Lennert Van Eetvelt signs with Lotto Dstny for two more years

In 2020, Lennert Van Eetvelt joined the Lotto Dstny Development Team. After making the step to the pro team in 2023, he has never left Lotto Dstny, and now the 22-year-old Belgian climber signs a contract until the end of 2026. His season started really successful, with a win in the Mallorca Challenge and an impressive ride at the UAE Tour in February, seeing him take the victory at the last stage, the overall and youth classification.

"I'm super happy to ride for Lotto Dstny for two more years", a happy Van Eetvelt says. "The team has made a big positive evolution the last years, which everyone sees, and I hope we can keep on making progression. It was quite some journey already, as I was a rider in the Development Team before and now this year I have taken another step with winning the UAE Tour. I know the staff and riders well, it feels like a second family. The freedom I get here and the whole project of the team is just super positive and I am glad I can keep on being part of this story."

Stéphane Heulot, CEO of Lotto Dstny, is equally proud to see Lennert Van Eetvelt stay with the team: "Lennert is a product of our Development Team, which makes the story even nicer. Seeing his development from close is impressive, he made a big step this year winning his first WorldTour victory. I am confident we will see a lot more nice things of him in the future, we will guide him in every step."
