The Lotto team's license holder, Captains of Cycling, has confirmed the squad put in the team's UCI registration for 2026 as a joint application with Intermarché-Wanty.
By the October 15 UCI team registration submission date, reports were already flowing that the move to make the mooted merger official had been taken, with Het Laatste Nieuws reporting earlier this week that a meeting between the two teams resulted in an application for the license being sent in shortly before the October 15 deadline.
