After a successful year that saw several riders step up to the professional level, the Lotto-Belisol U23 team is ready for another season. The team has presented a strong 25-rider roster with lots of new faces.

The U23 team for 2015 is complete, it's composed of 25 riders. Twelve of them are newcomers.

Six guys of the U23 team from 2014 got offered a pro contract: Tiesj Benoot, Amaury Capiot, Dan McLay, Xandro Meurisse, Jef Van Meirhaeghe and Louis Vervaeke. Louis Vervaeke already made his switch to the pro peloton halfway the season with the Lotto Belisol elite team. Starting January the first, Tiesj Benoot will officially become Vervaeke's teammate. Benoot was already trainee with the pros in the second half of the 2014 season.

There are four other riders that will leave the team. Jorne Carolus, U23 champion of 2012, quits cycling and will fully focus on his studies. Rob Leemans, Dimitri Peyskens and Thomas Van Besien will join another team. That means thirteen riders will stay.

Of 25 riders there are 21 Belgians. There is one Australian (George Tansley), one Briton (James Shaw), one Dane (Mathias Krigbaum) and one New-Zealander (Hayden McCormick). You will find the complete selection for the U23 Lotto Soudal team of 2015 below.
