Algemeen Lotto Cycling Team and Deschacht-Hens-FSP join forces

The collaboration is a logical step in the continued growth of Lotto Cycling Team. Cyclocross remains a hotbed for young cycling talent, and this partnership offers a unique opportunity to guide and develop that talent in a more targeted way.

The collaboration aims to create a clear synergy between road and cyclocross. For the current riders of Deschacht-Hens-FSP – including Toon Aerts and Victor Van de Putte – this opens the door to a more attractive road programme at a higher level. At the same time, Lotto Cycling Team riders who are also present in cyclocross, such as Sterre Vervloet and Ilken Seynave, will have the opportunity to develop themselves further in cyclocross.

Kurt Van de Wouwer, Sports Manager of Lotto Cycling Team: “This collaboration aligns perfectly with our vision of developing and supporting talent. We strongly believe in the synergy between road and cyclocross racing, and we’re confident that this partnership will create more opportunities for our riders.”

Bart Verschueren, Sports Manager of Deschacht-Hens-FSP: "What makes this collaboration especially valuable for us is that it opens up an entirely new playing field for our riders. It’s a partnership where we strengthen each other and combine our expertise to approach talent development in a more focused and professional way. By working together more intensively, we can offer young riders greater opportunities to grow and provide them with a broader pathway in both cyclocross and road racing.”

With this strategic joining of forces, both teams hope to not only achieve sporting successes, but also give a strong boost to the future of Belgian cycling.
