LOTTO, An official partner

Lotto

The Silence - Lotto professional team is just one of the links in the overall project from the National Lottery for the Belgian cycling world.

This team is not just the tip so to speak of the cycling world's pyramid. A pyramid that benefits - as it should - from a wide base, especially thanks to the support of the National Lottery provided to the race organisers, to the more than essential work of volunteers and to the action for young people from the R.L.V.B.

From base to tip, we find the junior teams of Bodysol-Lotto-CT Menen, Silence- Predictor - VC Ardennes, Pôle Continental, Wallon- Bodysol-Euromillions and Davitamon - Lotto- Jong Vlaanderen.

The professional supervision and scientific support provided completes this infrastructure and must contribute to the achievement of an ambitious objective: seeing to it that Belgian cycling climbs up a few more rungs in the international ranking.
