Lennert Van Eetvelt and Maxim Van Gils set to lead Lotto Dstny at Strade Bianche

After a strong start to the season for Lotto Dstny’s young Belgian duo, Lennert Van Eetvelt and Maxim Van Gils are now set to lead the team at Strade Bianche this weekend.
Van Eetvelt showed his early season form with his victory in Trofeo Serra Tramuntana at the Challenge Mallorca, which he then backed up with his victory on Jebel Hafeet on the final stage of the UAE Tour, which secured him the overall victory at the race.
Van Gils was also able to show his form in February, as he took the victory in the time trial at the Vuelta a Andalucía, which was the only stage that was held, as the race was severely affected by local farmer protests. Over Opening Weekend, he took a fifth place finish at the Faun-Ardèche Classic, before finishing in third place at the Faun Drôme Classic the following day.
At Strade Bianche on Saturday, the pair will be supported by their Belgian compatriots Jenno Berckmoes, Arjen Livyns and Sylvain Moniquet, as well as Johannes Adamietz and Logan Currie.
Andreas Kron, who finished in tenth place at this race in 2023, is set to miss this year’s edition due to a minor injury that he sustained a couple of weeks ago, but Lotto Dstny have said that he will be returning to competition soon.

- He actually took a pay cut when transferred to Visma; he was the star at Jayco for years, he moved because a different team structure could improve his chances and they both got the benefits of the transaction. Money would have been more important if he was a rising talent, not an established one on his way out.mhfrvz11-01-2026
- I take him for his word and the beautiful letter of retirement he penned.Good health and family life as well.Chapeau! God speed straight on till morning.
Brucegel10-01-2026 - If there is something, knowing cycling it will only come out in a decade. Another oddity is the money angle. Had he wanted to, he could probably have arranged to earn more in the next 2 years than he did in the past.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026

Front24210-01-2026 - Knowing even less about Jonas than they do about Tadej, journalists seem determined to emphasise the differences between them. They all pepper their articles about Jonas with the words family, quiet and candid. Then they have to make Tadej sound the opposite. If Tadej started a family they would be confused.Hills3310-01-2026
