News: James Shaw Signs for Lotto Soudal
One of three Under 23 riders who become professionals at Lotto Soudal next year iS Britain’s James Shaw along with Belgians Rémy Mertz (21) and Enzo Wouters (20).
Marc Sergeant: “The past months James Shaw, who’s twenty just like Enzo Wouters, already rode some races with our WorldTour team as a trainee. He participated in the Tour of Britain and in a race of that level you immediately know what someone is worth.
James did very well during that race and the team was very satisfied. He mainly had a supporting role and that will also be the case next year. When he was a junior, he won Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne and this year he finished fifth in Liège-Bastogne-Liège for U23 riders. As a pro, that is a rare combination. Next year we’ll see which races suit him best.â€
James Shaw: “It’s an incredible feeling to become pro. It’s still is a bit surreal, but I’m really looking forward to flying the Lotto Soudal flag as a pro next year. The past years I really felt home in the U23 team and I am glad I can stay with Lotto Soudal”.
“I enjoyed my time as a trainee in the WorldTour team and I’m so glad I will be riding for it the next two years. As a trainee I could ride the Tour of Britain. It was amazing to ride in my home country with my home crowd and friends and family supporting me. I was riding with some of the best riders in the world by my side. I don’t know what to expect of my first year as a pro. The traineeship was already a good introduction. I will certainly do my best. I am a bit of a puncher and rouleur, but as a 20-year-old I don’t want to say yet how I’ll spend the rest of my career. The next years I want to discover more about myself.â€
