Dion Smith was once part of Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert, but then both went their separate ways in 2019. Now Smith has once again decided to join his old team. He has signed a two-year contract with the Belgian team.
“When I joined the World Tour peloton in 2019, saying goodbye to Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux never felt definitive,” said Smith. He continues, “For them to want me back shows they still believe I have something to give, and this motivates me.”
He excels in sprints and climbing and the team is looking to utilize his skills to improve their peloton. “The program will be specific to my abilities. I look forward to working with familiar faces and meeting new ones. My two participations at the Tour de France are very good memories, so it would be a dream to return in the kit of Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert,” concluded Smith.

- Not all riders in the peloton were using drugs, or using them to the same degree. Plenty of books published from cyclists saying they didn’t all get access to the same stuff whether they wanted it or not. Christophe Basons is just one of many who were outcast for not joining the program. Many new young riders were sent home if they didn’t abide by Lances rules. Andy Hampsten is another clean rider who refused to dope.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- Lance lied, cheated, & destroyed lives during his entire cycling career.

- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint).
