Lotto boss gives De Lie a vote of confidence for the Tour: 'He'll be there'
Arnaud De Lie has had a frustrating first half of the 2025 season, but Lotto manager Stéphane Heulot has confirmed to Belgian radio outlet RTBF that his team will be taking the fast-finishing Walloon to the upcoming Tour de France.
"He'll be there," Heulot said. "The timing was tight. There was the false start in Cologne, the setback in Mayenne. But he didn't have a forced break in his training. Otherwise, he would never have finished the Tour de Suisse, given its difficulty. We took advantage of every window of opportunity we had. He's ready for this Tour de France." [RTBF]
