Jenno Berckmoes has officially extended his contract with Lotto Dstny, a development that follows the departure of teammate Maxim Van Gils. This extension signals a significant step forward for Berckmoes, who is set to take on a more prominent role within the team.
Speaking to Het Nieuwsblad, Berckmoes shared his thoughts on the contract renewal and the opportunities ahead:
"That they are breaking open my contract shows confidence. Kurt Van de Wouwer believes in me and I need that to function well. After the departure of Maxim Van Gils I am taking a step forward. With Lennert Van Eetvelt, Alec Segaert and Arnaud De Lie in the team I will have a serving role in various races. But there will also be races in which my card will be drawn."
The puncher has enjoyed a productive winter, which has further fuelled his ambitions for the upcoming season. Berckmoes is already preparing for competition and will take part in tonight’s cross race in Diegem.
"In the meantime I have also completed an internship in Spain and another one will follow in early 2025. In the big races I want to convert the flashes that I showed earlier into results," he explained further.
