ProTeam Baptiste Veistroffer signs a pro contract with Lotto Dstny
Baptiste Veistroffer has finished the Tour of Britain two weeks ago with his current Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Development Team. For the next two years Veistroffer signed a deal with Lotto Dstny. “I’m super happy to have this opportunity. Becoming pro with the Lotto Dstny Team is a huge step. It gives me the chance to further grow. I will discover a foreign team as a Frenchman which will give me different views and experiences. I think the values of the team match perfectly with myself, being offensive. I still need to discover which type of rider I am, grand tours or classics, I don’t really know yet.”
This season Veistroffer won the fourth stage at the Tour de Bretagne Cycliste. “I was able to hold off the peloton, for 30 kilometers. As a Breton winning a stage in your home region is very special.” The young Frenchman, who likes to discover the world by bike, was a triathlete before making the step to road cycling four years ago.
Stéphane Heulot, CEO of Lotto Dstny, is very happy to welcome a new talent. “Baptiste will become a pro rider with us, he still has to discover a lot and we will guide him in this process. He showed already he can ride very fast and the victory he took this year was impressive. We are eager to find out where his capabilities reach.”
