After more than 10 years of collaboration with Belgian bicycle brand Ridley, Lotto-Dstny teams up with Basque manufacturer Orbea. “Both share a rich history in cycling and are located in areas that breathe racing,” she said.
The first Basque team, Euskaltel-Euskadi, has enjoyed years of success on Orbea bikes, and now Lotto – Dstny will compete with them.
“Together we start a new era,” he says of leader Arnaud de Lille's team. “We live in areas where racing breathes, and we both share a rich history in cycling.”
“Orbea can draw on 183 years of experience and a rich racing DNA. The Basque company is constantly renewing itself, which is the only way to guarantee long-term success.”
“Lotto-Dstny finds in Orbea an ideal ally to continue improving performance throughout its chassis,” says Stephane Helot, CEO of the team.
“The adaptation to new bikes has been rapid in recent weeks and we at Orbea feel very prepared to constantly develop itself. I am convinced that together we can achieve great things.”
Team Lotto has ridden Ridley bikes for 12 years. Victor Campenaerts set the world hour record.
