"I have a big engine and the longer races suit me, I felt quite fresh in the finals and that’s why I handled my first pro year well. I enjoyed it and I’m also very happy with the support and chance I got of
Team Flanders - Baloise. I still need to find out where my speciality lays, but I want to focus on the climbing and smaller stage races, without losing sight of the classics as I also really like to ride those."
Stéphane Heulot, CEO of Lotto Dstny, is very glad to welcome a new young talent in the team: "Lars showed himself in the finals of several races on high level. In his first year as a pro he rode a lot of different races to gain experience, from classics to stage races. It’s clear he is a rider with several strengths, who can work in function of the team but can also get his own chance whenever the opportunity is there. We are very happy having Lars in the team from next year and we will help him as much as possible to develop further."
