Lotto Dstny Announces Strong Line-Up for the Tour de France, Targeting Stage Win

Lotto Dstny has revealed its roster for the upcoming 110th Tour de France, with sprinter Caleb Ewan leading the charge for a stage win. Ewan will have the support of teammates Jasper De Buyst, Jacopo Guarnieri, Florian Vermeersch, and Frederik Frison. Additionally, the Belgian ProTeam has included offensive riders Victor Campenaerts, Pascal Eenkhoorn, and Maxim Van Gils.

“With these eight riders, we send a strong selection to the Tour,” says sports manager Kurt Van de Wouwer. “Caleb Ewan has already won five stages in the Tour de France and wants to add one or more in the coming edition. He is our biggest chance to take a stage win.”

Van de Wouwer emphasizes the importance of the supporting team members, stating, “That is why we have surrounded him really well with Jasper De Buyst, who has shown his excellent shape the past weeks and Jacopo Guarnieri as an important element in the sprint train. Florian and Frederik will be launching that train in a good position and will also have the opportunity to go on the attack in other stages.”

The team’s opportunists, Pascal Eenkhoorn, Victor Campenaerts, and Maxim Van Gils, will play a key role in tougher terrain and transition stages. Van de Wouwer explains, “Victor has suffered a serious injury in the spring but worked hard to come back and showed an excellent shape in the Dauphiné. So he deserved his selection there, and we are convinced that he can also show himself at the Tour.”

Both Maxim Van Gils and Pascal Eenkhoorn will be making their Tour de France debut. Van de Wouwer states, “Pascal has gathered the necessary experience throughout the years and will now get a taste of the Tour de France, where he can go his own chance in the tougher stages. Maxim is with 23 years old the youngest rider of our selection and will start without stress. Following his excellent Ardennes campaign in the spring, we are confident that he can also show his talent in the Tour.”
