Edward Theuns will swap Topsport Vlaanderen-Baloise for Trek Factory Racing in 2016, according to Het Nieuwsblad. The Belgian’s fine performances this year have carried him to the top of the UCI Europe Tour standings and stoked interest from a number of WorldTour teams.
Theuns showcased his potential in the classics by placing second behind teammate Jelle Wallays at Dwars door Vlaanderen and he demonstrated his finishing speed to take second place behind Alexander Kristoff (Katusha) at Scheldeprijs two weeks later.
