    Lotto Soudal Team 2022

    This page serves as a hub linking to each rider of Lotto Soudal Team 2022 as I review their bikes over the season.

    Lotto Soudal team 2022 is racing a crucial year as relegation is at stake and must be avoided to stay in the UCI World Tour.

    The disc brake version is approximately 500gr heavier than the rim brake version due to the extra weight of the disc rotors and brake calipers.

    The frame features Ridley’s “F-Tubing” which are teardrop shaped main tubes to optimize aerodynamics.
