Lotto-Intermarché Brings Back Belgian Rider in Roster Reshuffle
Lotto-Intermarché has reinforced its squad for the upcoming cycling season by bringing Belgian rider Stan Dewulf back to the team after a six-year absence, while simultaneously securing French puncher Clément Venturini from Unibet Rose Rockets. According to recent team announcements and reports from sports outlets like Sporza and Het Nieuwsblad, the Belgian WorldTour outfit is actively reshaping its roster following notable departures.
Stan Dewulf Returns After Six Seasons
After spending the past several seasons elsewhere in the professional peloton, the Belgian rider confirmed his choice to rejoin Lotto-Intermarché, citing a strong alignment with the team’s operational philosophy. “The mentality appeals to me,” Dewulf stated, according to Het Nieuwsblad.
Clément Venturini Arrives from Unibet Rose Rockets
Alongside Dewulf’s return, Lotto-Intermarché completed a deal for French puncher Clément Venturini, who departs the Unibet Rose Rockets after just one season with the squad. According to Het Laatste Nieuws, team leadership highlighted Venturini’s specific athletic profile as a decisive factor in the transfer.

Meanwhile, the Unibet Rose Rockets find themselves searching for alternative scoring options after losing a reliable points-getter to the top tier after only a single year, as noted by In de Leiderstrui.
