The Fleming is still under contract until December 31 with Lotto Dstny, with whom the breakup was unexpected, then burning, because he had extended his contract in March with the Belgian team, before changing his mind. “When I extended our contract, we had a great team, we were like a family, rewound the 3rd of the last Flèche Wallonne. Then guys like Florian (Vermeersch, pour UAE), Fields (Campenaerts, Visma) old Kron (One-X) announced their departure. And I started to ask myself questions. It was a process, it can't be decided in one day because Lotto was special to me, and maybe I'll come back to it one day. But I thought about what I wanted to do over the next two years. We're not a runner for long, at 31 we're already old, I think my best years are coming now, so I want to spend them in an excellent environment, with big goals. »
