Before this season, Harm Vanhoucke made a surprising choice to many by leaving Lotto Dstny, the team he's been a part of since 2018, to see how things work elsewhere, and signed for Team DSM. However after a promising start to the season (10th at UAE Tour), Vahoucke didn't seem to find his ground and eventually agreed on a mid-season transfer back to his origins.
Last year he switched to Team DSM, but by mutual agreement the rider will now return to Lotto Dstny where he signed a contract until the end of 2024. "I got warm memories of my time in this team," says Vanhoucke, "and I’m very happy to return to this family. I'm making a fresh start here and want to be the rider I was before."
"In recent months I spoke to many riders of the team," he continues. "I kept following Lotto Dstny and you just feel the team has taken some nice steps while they continue to invest in the future."
His ambition at Lotto Dstny remains intact. "I want to show myself in smaller one-week stage races, such as the Sibiu Tour or the Deutschland Tour and help the team in the Ardennes Classics. I get on well with Maxim. He has made a lot of progress this year and showed great things. I’m looking forward to do my part and help both Maxim and Andreas in their races."
