Finally some slightly positive news for Lotto: Long-time sponsor promises a healthy budget increase
CyclingFriday, 13 June 2025 at 09:00
Lotto will not change its name for the time being. L'Équipe previously informed that the team name would be updated for the Tour de France this summer, but according to their latest information, that change will not be happening.
While Lotto struggles on its task to find a title co-sponsor that would brighten up their dire budget situation, at least partially good news come from their jersey sponsor Caps. The sponsor who has supported the Belgian team since 2012, will provide a small boost to Lotto's budget in exchange for improved visibility on the jersey. It's not enough to cover up for the departure of Dstny, but bit by bit, the Belgian team is closing in on having a competitive WorldTour-level budget.

- That period is over, now he is Jasper the master. Lately, juries are overly cautious. A sprinter (sneaky) raising their hand in complaint is enough to punish the other sprinter, even without any real danger.

- Why are they checking for motor-doping? They can just check for motors. If someone is using a pneumatic drill to administer PEDs, they kinda deserve to win.
Barney03-07-2025 - He won't win the TDF unless Pogi messes up somehow. Pogačar didn't have a team when Vingo beat him. Now, the teams are near even and head to head Pogačar is just a better ridermd197503-07-2025
- Guy is a great classic rider, if he concentrated on a GT only I think he could win one. However, he would have to be all in to try. I like him great ridermd197503-07-2025
- To win of top 3, he needs support. A d according to the roster, they are taking a sprinter and lead out man. So, come time to climb, Remco is down 2 team members for support. To win a race like the TDF you need skill, luck (illness and falls), directions from the team and more than anything a team built to be your support on flat and then climbs. Not be out manned before you even see a climbmd197503-07-2025
- I agree, the big GC guys are there, but looking at the list, it seems a bit few teams with real GC ambitions. Or is it normal, half of the team are only there for stagesRide197402-07-2025
- Win all of the first 10 stages? Or does he mean that the profile of all of those 10 stages are suited for a win by Wout? If they mean winning 10 stages, they're banking on MVDP, Milan, and a few others to crash out on stage one. Maybe something was lost in translation.Ride197402-07-2025
- The problem is that grand tours are not always won by the best riders. In the 2025 Giro d'italia, Carapaz was the strongest rider - but Simon Yates and Del Toro had really good days on Stages 20 and 9 respectively, so they both finished ahead of him
