דאבל לוטו – שלח טופס אונליין
לוטו וישראל-פרימייר טק דוחים את הזמנות פריז-ניס על רקע מצוד אחר נקודות UCI וקידום חזרה ל-WorldTour
22 teams announced for 83rd edition of the Race to the Sun, with Tudor, TotalEnergies and Uno-X Mobility announced receiving invites
Lotto and Israel-Premier Tech have declined their invitations to race at Paris-Nice in 2025, race organisers announced on Tuesday, with both of the top-ranked ProTeams teams highly focused on earning a return to the WorldTour.
2025 will bring the final season of the current three-year WorldTour promotion and relegation cycle to a close, with teams already carefully curating their calendars to ensure they score efficiently.
Lotto have been known to opt out of race invites despite being one of the two top-ranked second-division teams – who automatically get invited to every WorldTour race – since they were relegated in 2022. They’ve skipped the Giro d’Italia for the past two seasons and will do the same in May 2025.
Lotto and Israel – Premier Tech
After having to downsize due to losing a title sponsor in Dstny and key riders such as Maxim van Gils and Victor Campenaerts, Lotto will be looking to again punch above their weight in 2025. However, to do this best, they have to get their calendar right, as they have in 2023 and 2024.
Since going down, they’ve scored very well and look almost certain for a jump back to the WorldTour level in 2026, after ending last season as the ninth-ranked team, well above the 18th place they would have to finish to ensure they get promoted.
They will focus on one-day races and smaller stage races to maximise their points gain and utilise their young squad best, with key leaders Arnaud De Lie and Lennert Van Eetvelt likely to score the majority of the team’s points as they did in 2024.
Alongside their racing focus, Lotto and their team manager Stéphane Heulot will be looking for a second title sponsor to come on board for their probable return to cycling’s top division.
