Arnaud De Lie leaves Lotto for Tudor Pro Cycling under Cancellara's leadership

Arnaud De Lie, the 24-year-old Belgian cyclist, will race for Tudor Pro Cycling next year after leaving Lotto-Intermarché. This news has been officially confirmed and marks a new step in his career after four seasons with Lotto, during which he experienced both highs and lows.

Fabian Cancellara, the team leader of Tudor Pro Cycling, has expressed his confidence in De Lie. He describes De Lie as a 'rough Belgian diamond,' despite the fact that De Lie has had a difficult season.

Cancellara emphasizes that there is no blame directed at Lotto for De Lie's situation. He points out that at Tudor Pro Cycling, De Lie will not be the only team leader, which could contribute to better support for the rider.

This fits into the broader strategy of the team to give young talents a chance and guide them in their development. Cancellara's approach highlights the importance of team dynamics, where multiple riders are given opportunities.

De Lie himself has not publicly commented on his move to Tudor, but the choice is welcomed by the team management, who believe in his potential and future performance.
