Algemeen Lotto will continue next season without Dstny: "Determined to keep building on the solid foundations we have today"

Lotto and Dstny have written a beautiful story together. The team became Belgian champions, recently won a stage in the Tour de France, and with the Lotto Dstny Development Team, it took the Giro Next Gen. Stéphane Heulot, CEO of Lotto Dstny: "We have secured all our talents for the future, which was our top priority. Youthful enthusiasm, attractive racing and being the challenger to the big teams will thus remain part of the team's DNA in the coming seasons. Additionally, I want to emphasize that behind the scenes, there has been excellent cooperation over the past two and a half years to bring all this success to realization. Crucial decisions were always made by the Board of Directors in mutual consultation and with mutual trust. The team could always count on them."

 

Karel Van Eetvelt, President of Lotto Dstny: “The departure of Dstny is not a cause for concern. Various discussions are taking place to secure the future of our team and hard work is being done. The National Lottery remains our main partner, having supported us previously during challenging times. We are determined to continue building on the solid foundations that we have today. As the oldest team in the peloton, with 40 years of rich history, we've seen partners come and go. That's part of cycling. With Orbea, we have secured a long-term international agreement and our other partners believe in the strength of the team and ensure that our foundations remain strong."

 

We want to sincerely thank Dstny for their support and trust in the team over the past two and a half years.

 

 

This is the composition of the Board of Directors: Karel van Eetvelt (president), Olivier Alsteens, Gregory Maes, Filip De Koster, Céline Van Gansbeke, Marc Genin, Marleen Mannekens, Joachim Lauwers, Joris Van Rymenant, Els Verhaegen, Ander Olariaga (advisory member).
