Wanty-Groupe Gobert (France) - Xandro Meurisse has extended his contract with Wanty-Groupe Gobert for two years. The 26-year-old Belgian started his professional career in 2017 at team Wanty-Groupe Gobert. Meurisse finished on the podium in Volta Limburg Classic in 2017 and the Circuit de la Sarthe in 2018 and was also noticed in the final of Flèche Brabançonne. The young father, selected for the European Championships in Glasgow in August, will be part of the team for the next two years, until the end of 2020.

Xandro Meurisse:

"My work and services for the team have always been appreciated. Some time ago I received guarantees about my future at Wanty-Groupe Gobert. So I did not hesitate to extend for two seasons, despite the different offers that I received. The team has offered me great opportunities in the last two years and I have continued to make progress. Now I have proven that I can achieve good results and I want to continue playing my role for the next two years. I now hope for a great victory to thank the trust I received, especially from our manager Jean-François Bourlart and Hilaire Van der Schueren. "

"Last week I resumed the competition in some kermesse races after a break after the Belgian championships. I did not aim for a result. The intention was to get some rhythm and fitness again for the rest of the summer. I now head to GP Cerami and then the Tour of Denmark, where I want to perform but also want to think about the European Championships. When I heard about the hilly course, I started to think about it. Kevin De Weert contacted me after the Dauphiné to tell me that I was in the preselection. I am very happy to participate and I want to play my role for the Belgian national team."
