in solidarity with the people, and, according to Lelangue also to all the sponsors, the fans, and the whole of the country, the riders and management from team Lotto-Soudal have voluntarily decided to give up part of their salary. “It’s a special case, for each of the sectors. I think it’s a good signal to the riders and the management. We will also recognize our sponsors in these days of difficulty due to the crisis, and they too, are actions. Of course, the runners are training for the season resumes, but they do make an effort, and have shown themselves to be as inclusive to our friends and sponsors.”
Lelangue hopes to be there in the summer to re-gekoerst can be used. “I would hope that we would take part in the Tour can go on. But it will be in the same place, or is it a little bit later on, now that the Olympic Games will be postponed? The UCI has decided to take the season until the 1st of november to drive away. So, if we are to be able to start in June, and then we’ll have a few months to a couple of Landmarks to return to the calendar to take. So, we are trying to give us a job to do, and nice results away. But for the time being, we have no such plans.”
