# Eduardo Sepulveda Signs Two-Year Extension with Lotto Dstny
Eduardo Sepulveda (32) has officially extended his contract with Lotto Dstny by two more years. The Argentinean cyclist is currently enjoying his first season with the Belgian ProTeam and has established himself as a remarkably skilled climber and an invaluable teammate. Sepulveda’s achievements this season include securing the overall victory at the Vuelta a Castilla y Léon, where he also triumphed in the final stage. Notably, he made history as the first-ever Argentinean to lead a Grand Tour classification and donned the KOM jersey for several days at the recent youngest edition of the Vuelta a España.
“Eduardo is an important part of our climber’s squad and with over ten seasons as a pro, he gathered lots of experience. And he wants to continue passing on that expertise to the young climbers at Lotto Dstny. Not only is Eduardo a valued and respected teammate, he grabs his own chances as well. Proof of that is the stage and overall victory at Castilla y Léon and he also showed some nice things at La Vuelta,” states CEO Stéphane Heulot.
Reflecting on his experience with the team, Sepulveda shares, “From the moment that I met the team, I immediately felt at home. So I am really happy to continue the adventure at Lotto Dstny. Within the team, the riders are perfectly surrounded by professionals, who make sure that we only have to think about riding our bikes. Besides, our own feedback or suggestions are also taken into account, which makes for a really positive environment.”
As he looks ahead, Sepulveda aims to fulfill a dual role within Lotto Dstny. He emphasizes, “I love to share my experience, and it gives me great satisfaction when my teammates obtain good results. The dynamic between the young and more experienced riders within the team is something I feel very comfortable with. Giving advice during the race, in mutual communication with the DS’s, which leads to a victory just gives me a great feeling. And in the races where I get a free role, I still want to grab my opportunities, like I did at Vuelta Castilla y Léon.”
The team and its supporters look forward to more exciting achievements from Sepulveda in the coming years.
