Guillaume Van Keirsbulck will join Wanty-Groupe Gobert. The 25-year old from Flanders comes from the team Etixx-Quick Step. The former winner of the Drie-Daagse van De Panne-Coxyde joins Jean François Bourlart’s team for two seasons.

“The Flemish Spring Classics really appeal to me with the Tour of Flanders as the absolute dream race. I never got the chance to ride it as team captain. I hope I’ll have a role to play in those races next year", Guillaume Van Keirsbulck explains.

Jean-François Bourlart, Wanty-Groupe Gobert’s general manager, is very happy to welcome Guillaume Van Keirsbulck to his team.

"Guillaume is one of the most talented riders in Belgium. I think he made the right choice. Our program will suit him to the core."

Sports director Hilaire Van der Schueren is looking forward to working with Guillaume Van Keirsbulck.

"Guillaume Van Keirsbulck has shown his potential in the Flemish classics. In the past two years he couldn't perform well due to injuries and health issues. He is 25 but he already has a lot of experience. He can ride a good time trial as well. I'm very happy to work with him."

After signing Wesley Kreder, Guillaume Van Keirsbulck is the second new rider.

Kévin Van Melsen, Thomas Degand, Kenny Dehaes, Frederik Backaert, Guillaume Martin, Tom Devriendt already had a contract for 2016.
