# Lotto Dstny Welcomes Three New Pro Riders: A Bright Future Ahead
Lotto Dstny is thrilled to announce the addition of three promising riders who will be joining the professional ranks as part of the team: Robin Orins, Joshua Giddings, and Lorenz Van de Wynkele. Each rider has demonstrated remarkable talent and dedication in their respective careers, laying the groundwork for a successful future with the team.
Robin Orins, known for his recent victory at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad U23, has also clinched the title of Belgian time trial champion this season. He secured impressive placements, finishing third in Paris-Roubaix and second in Liège-Bastogne-Liège. “I didn’t have to think long about staying with Lotto Dstny,” Orins states. “I’ve been with the development team for two years now, and it feels like home. When I had a particularly difficult year last year, the team continued to believe in me, which meant a lot to me personally. I’m really looking forward to learning over the next two years.”
Bringing a powerful sprint to the team, Joshua Giddings stands tall at 1.95 meters and has made a name for himself by winning Brussels-Opwijk this season. Reflecting on his experience, Giddings shares, “I’ve always dreamed of this. Being able to stay with Lotto Dstny for the next two years is a relief. I feel welcome here, and every time I look forward to going out with the team. What I’ve learned over the past two years is invaluable. There’s no better place to continue developing than Lotto Dstny. I’m very grateful for this opportunity and I’m ready to work hard.”
The third addition, Lorenz Van de Wynkele, is a strong lead-out rider and sprinter who recently won the first stage of the Tour du Loir et Cher in April. He expresses his excitement about this opportunity: “I’m looking forward to further developing myself as a rider. I hope to show my potential during a great spring, and I’m very happy that this can happen at Lotto Dstny, the team I’ve always looked up to.”
Stéphane Heulot, CEO of Lotto Dstny, shared his enthusiasm for the newly signed riders: “This is what we stand for. We have an exceptionally strong generation ready to become pros, and we’re particularly happy to keep Lorenz, Joshua, and Robin on board for the next two years. At Lotto Dstny, they will be able to continue growing. We strongly believe in all three and in their chances to become good professional riders.”
With these signings, Lotto Dstny is poised for an exciting season ahead, supported by youthful talent and a strong foundation of teamwork.
