Harm Vanhoucke to Team DSM - " I am curious to see how I will improve as a rider and what I can learn from the team "
Cycling
After spending 4 years with Lotto Soudal, Harm Vanhoucke has decided to leave the team in order to join Team DSM. He made his WorldTour debut in 2018 and has unlocked several achievements since.
The Belgian rider looks forward to working with his new teammates and improving his skills. "I was very attracted by the team's coaching and how riders develop," says Vanhoucke. He continues, "It is also a team that has already had many successes in the general classification of big tours. The team also has a lot of knowledge. It's a new step in my career. I am curious to see how I will improve as a rider and what I can learn from the team and from the more experienced riders.”
The rider remained consistent throughout this season. He was second in the Tour de l'Ain, second in the Sibiu Cycling Tour, 11th in Paris-Nice, and fifth in the Tour of Turkey. Team DSM hopes to utilize his skills to fill the gap left by the departure of Thymen Arensman.

- Where Merckx just rode every single race he could and won all the time, Hinault won less often (percentage wise) because he was more judicious in what he raced. His palmares are nuts. He had amazing rivals, one to start his career and another to end it in the grand tours. His classics were solid. What sets him apart from Merckx and Pogačar are that he basically dabbled in the classics while the other two love(d) them. I used to compare Pogačar to Hinault for his grand tour record and occasional classics win, until I realized that the comparison was wrong. Pogačar loves the classics - ah, the memory of his reaction to finishing fourth in a 2 person sprint in Flanders in ‘22: utter domination in any one day race since then, even when he doesn’t win. Hinault lived for the grand tours and I don’t think anyone else will ever reach his record. 10 wins in 13 attempts? Good lord. An amazing rider. Wish there was more footage to watch.RidesHills11-11-2026
- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
