Wout Van Aert, the three-time cyclo-cross world champion, will start in World Tour from the 2020 season with the Lotto NL-Jumbo team. The 23-year-old Belgian has agreed with the Dutch to commit only a year, which allows him to respect his contract with the pro-Veranda's Willems-Crelan continental formation, which runs until the end of 2019. .
Wout Van Aert aroused the interest of many World Tour teams such as Patrick Lefévère's Quick-Step but also Groupama-FDJ, and Marc Madiot, a big fan of cyclo-cross, had been following the career of the Flemish prodigy for several years . His 9th and 13th places respectively on Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders for his first participation this year had confirmed that he also had a great future on the road. The Jumbo supermarket brand, which intends to develop their brand in Belgium, wants to make Wout Van Aert the head of a gondola from 2020.
