Biography
Having joined the team in 2015, just two years into his pro career, Yves is now one of the longest-serving riders in current roster, and has become an important part of the Wolfpack, where he has carved a niche for himself as a classic specialist, a powerful time trialist and a reliable domestique and teammate.
Lampaert’s career has seen him take 16 individual victories so far, his palmares including stage wins at the Tour de France and Vuelta a España, Tour de Suisse, Tour of Britain, but also Dwars door Vlaanderen (2017 and 2018) and Classic Brugge-De Panne. Yves, who holds a black belt in judo and loves a good old Age of Empires ll 1v1 match, is also part of an elite club of riders to have won both the Belgian National Road Race (2018) and Time Trial titles (2017 and 2021).
“Last season was one of ups and downs, but at the end of the day there were plenty of things that gave me confidence in myself, from the team’s unwavering support to the stage victory I got at the Tour de Suisse. That’s why I continue to strongly believe I can still play a role in the cobbled Classics and I continue to dream about winning Paris-Roubaix, a race so close to my heart. I would also like to show again what I am capable of in the time trials and support the team achieve the many goals it has.”
