Tiesj Benoot seems to be enjoying his partnership with Lotto Soudal, as he has extended their contract until the end of 2019.

Benoot started his first pro season being on top form, claiming the fifth position at the Ronde van Vlaanderen. This season has been one of his best, when compared to his last season in which he suffered a misfortune that forced him to abandon his ambition for the spring in the Ronde.
Benoot suffered a crashed during the Ronde van Vlaanderen in 2016 that ended all his hope of setting a good result during the spring. However, Lotto Soudal is confident that the extension of their agreement till 2019 will further boost the riders’ development.
Marc Sergeant, sports manager at Lotto Soudal speaking on the contract extension had said,
“Tiesj will be a key rider in our team the next three years. The long-term agreement we have with our main sponsors enables us to focus on the future of our team. The confidence the sponsors have in this team, makes it possible to extend the contract of Tiesj Benoot until the end of 2019.” (more…)
