Harm Vanhoucke joins Team DSM- "I came out of the winter overtrained and then struggled for a long time"

Harm Vanhoucke has signed contract with Team DSM. His addition will add climbing power to the team.

Besides winning the U23 Tour of Lombardy, he also won stage victories in the Tour of Aosta and the Tour de Savoie Mont-Blanc. He was also the winner of the Ardennes Arrow. However, not all was sunshine. His adjustment to Lotto Soudal took some time after he joined the team in 2018. "I came out of the winter overtrained and then struggled for a long time with the blood values. I just couldn't recover, after which mental issues also started to play a role,” said Vanhoucke.

Despite the fact that neither Vanhoucke nor Team DSM has officially announced the news, several sources suggest it's the Dutch team. Lotto Soudal confirmed the news of his departure but denied revealing his future team, "That is not up to us."
