Lotto-Intermarché roster developments

Overview

The Belgian WorldTour cycling team Lotto-Intermarché is undergoing roster changes through new signings and contract extensions.

In late August 2026, the team announced the signing of Colombian sprinter Sebastián Molano, who joined from UAE Team Emirates on a contract lasting through December 2028. Molano indicated the move was intended to allow him to “reclaim his role as a primary sprinter” and seek more individual opportunities.

Shortly after, the team confirmed contract extensions for three Belgian riders: Luca Van Boven, Sebastien Grignard, and Milan Menten, all of whom will remain with the squad until the end of 2028. CEO Jean-François Bourlart noted that these extensions provide continuity as the team undergoes a “significant metamorphosis” following the departures of several riders.
