Ahead of its official team presentation on December 20, Lotto Soudal has finalised the rosters of its elite men's, elite women's, and men's U23 squads for the 2017 season.
The men's WorldTour team will be made up of 28 riders, with three riders on their way out and five new riders coming in.
Moreno Hofland joins from LottoNL-Jumbo to bolster André Greipel's leadout train after the departure of Greg Henderson, while Nikolas Maes is another WorldTour acquisition, coming across from rival Belgian team, QuickStep.

The three other new faces are all neo-pros, Briton James Shaw and Belgian Enzo Wouters graduating from the U23 ranks, and Belgian Remy Mertz joining from Color Code-Arden' Beef. Gert Dockx and Pim Ligthart are the riders joining Henderson in leaving the team, the former released and the latter heading to Roompot-Oranje Peloton.
It's all change at the Lotto Soudal Ladies team, with eight members of the 2016 roster leaving.
Sofie De Vuyst, Willeke Knol, Claudia Lichtenberg, Emma Pooley, Anouk Rijff, Anisha Vekemans and Susy Zorzi all move on, leaving the management with much work to do in the transfer window after Lieselot Decroix retired after the Lotto Belgium Tour.
