Lotto are set to return to the WorldTour for the 2026 season but the Belgian ProTeam aren't taking anything for granted despite having accumulated a healthy UCI points total during the current ranking period. They hope to win big in May after opting out of the Giro d'Italia, with team leader and world-class sprinter Arnaud De Lie returning to racing in Germany.

The team currently lies 11th overall in the 2023-25 rankings on 28,728 points, well clear of the 18th and final WorldTour slot, currently occupied by Picnic-PostNL on 21,242 points.
