After continuing his impressive start to the season with a 7th-placed finish at Milano-Sanremo last weekend, Maxim van Gils has joined teammate Lennert van Eetvelt in extending his contract with Lotto Dstny.
"Lotto Dstny feels like my second home,” van Gils explains happily in conversation with the team's official website. "I always look forward to heading back to the races to see my teammates and staff again. I've been here for over five years now, and everyone has become like family."

Alongside his 7th at Milano-Sanremo, van Gils has also impressed with results such as 3rd at Strade Bianche and the Faun Drôme Classic, plus 5th at the Faun-Ardèche Classic and victory in the shortened Vuelta a Andalucia. "The Ardennes classics are coming up soon, and I hope to perform well there too. It would be great if I could continue to raise my level over the next two years and help Lotto Dstny return to the World Tour," the 24-year-old Belgian adds.
"After Lennert Van Eetvelt, Maxim Van Gils also staying with Lotto Dstny for the next two years pleases us," says Lotto Dstny’s CEO Stéphane Heulot. "We have strong belief in Maxim and his chances to continue shining in races. He can further grow with us and continue developing his talent."

- The same thing was said when Tadej announced that he would ride the Giro: "he goes to Il Giro because he knows he can't win the Tour". Always negative speculations. Maybe Primoz, near to the final of his career, simply wants to try this experience.
maria2024202419-12-2024 - If Valentino Rossi could never win during his period of dominance, and massive personality, then Pogacar not winning isn't a massive surprise. Cycling isn't a Premier League global sport......only one event reaches the mainstream every year - and that's not good enough.wipperman9519-12-2024
- I don't think it's only a British thing; the biggest talents aren't usually drawn to CX. Where are all the top Italian, French, Spanish, Slovenian CX riders? Apart from Belgium, and Netherlands, it's not really a target for up and coming cyclists - as there's no career unless you move to Belgium. Other countries can't support a proper professional series, like an international sport should be able to do. Lets not forget, since 2016, British riders have won plenty of World championships; with Pidcock, Richards, Tulett & Backstedt all winning more than one..... And, there was a time when Belgium didn't rule the roost in CX; that was Switzerland, but since the advent of XC MTB, their top off-road talents race there instead of CX - and the 2nd raters not good enough for XC MTB, race CX.wipperman9519-12-2024
- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024

- Pick better parents and/or better doping agents.
ChoppyWarburton18-12-2024 - The bike industry situation is the same as the future Dutch talent pool discussion , it’s a fakely perceived problem due to an exceptional period that’s come to an end.Mistermaumau18-12-2024
- It's all a part of the fun. Sometimes it takes a few races before you can tell who's who and what's going on.
