The history

This team was born in 2006 from the Lotto–Dstny men's team, which is now almost four decades old. Dany Schoonbaert led the squad until 2020, when he turned it over to Kurt Van De Wouwer, eleventh in the 1989 Tour de France. Lotto —the Belgian national lottery— has always been its main sponsor. Dstny, a co-sponsor since 2022, is a business communications provider marketing cloud solutions.

The director of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, Marion Rousse, raced for the team between 2013 and 2015, shortly after claiming the French championship title in 2012 and until her retirement as a cyclist. Ashleigh Moolman Pasio also competed for the squad between 2010 and 2013, as did the world champion Lotte Kopecky from 2016 to 2020, when she claimed her first eight victories, including her first WorldTour triumph, a stage of the 2020 Giro. The Dutchwoman Thalita de Jong, sixteenth in the Vuelta a España Femenina by Carrefour.es, is its star rider.
