De Lie leads strong Lotto Soudal lineup at Tour of Leuven ambitioning World Tour maintenance
CyclingSaturday, 06 August 2022 at 20:30
Lotto Soudal currently sit almost 800 points behind 18th place - currently occupied by Movistar Team - so once again the Belgian team is under tremendous pressure to perform. Every race will matter, and the team is having a strong lineup for the upcoming Tour of Leuven.
Arnaud De Lie won a stage at the Tour de Wallonie recently, however it will be in the one-day races that the most points will be available, and he will be a big candidate to take the win. The team has options to protect him for a sprint, however in such type of racing the classics riders and offensive racing are usually successful.
For that the team also has a string of strong classics riders in Victor Capenaerts, Florian Vermeersch and Brent van Moer who can do both jobs. Jasper De Buyst is also an option for such an explosive race.
Lotto Soudal for Tour of Leuven: Arnaud De Lie, Cedric Beullens, Victor Campenaerts, Jasper De Buyst, Sébastien Grignard, Brent van Moer and Florian Vermeersch.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
