25-year-old Belgian sprinter, Milan Menten has been announced as the latest rider joining Lotto-Dstny for the upcoming 2023 season.
The former Lotto Soudal youth prospect has spent the last 2 years at the Bingoal Pauwels Sauces WB team. When asked about his return to the Lotto system, Menten had this to say "I still know a lot of riders and staff from my previous stay at the team, which is nice” he continued "“The timing is right: I feel I am ready to take the next step. And I am very happy with the plan the team has with me: sprinting for victory in UCI .1 and ProSeries races. That is something I succeeded in the past two years already, but surrounded by a team like Lotto Soudal, winning gets easier.”

For Lotto's part, CEO John Lelangue was full of praise for Menten's progression since leaving the team back in 2017, "At the time, he did not have the level to step up to the WorldTour, but we have been following him ever since and noticed how well he has developed himself. It is clear that he is ready to step up now." Before going on to add "We are convinced we can help him take the next step in his career."
