Lotto Soudal have announced the signing of young Belgian riders Xandres Vervloesem and Sylvain Moniquet, who will both join the WorldTour squad on two-year contracts from next season.

Vervloesem already rides for the Lotto Soudal under-23 development squad, and took the overall title at the Ronde de l'Isard stage race last week, while Moniquet has spent this season at the Groupama-FDJ Continental Team – a feeder squad to the French WorldTour outfit.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
