👑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘𝐒 👑 Our reaction when we hear that @DeGendtThomas has extended his contract for two more seasons 😃 Cheers to making some more amazing memories together, @DeGendtThomas 🙌
Thomas de Gendt had hinted at a possible renewal with Lotto Soudal until 2025, and however it isn't the same year, the veteran has renewed his stay with the team up until 2024 already.
“In this team I have been able to become the rider that I always wanted to be: an attacker. The past 8 years have been a success for the most part of it, with beautiful victories and great memories. I am looking forward to adding another 2 years," the Belgian said.
De Gendt has over the past decade established himself as one of the leading breakaway experts. Over the last years as a new generation rised up he struggled to get the same results, however a win at the Giro d'Italia has brought a new spark to his career. He plays a role of mentor for younger riders within the team and has also spent many kilometers riding in support of Caleb Ewan.
“I am very curious for the evolution of the team in the following years, with young talents as Maxim Van Gils or Arnaud De Lie and also the new cosponsor coming on board. Although it will become harder and harder for me, my goal still remains to win races. Next to that, I hope to help the team whenever I can," de Gendt concluded.
