Lotto Soudal have selected young sprinter Arnaud De Lie, Victor Campenaerts and Caleb Ewan as they look to score as many points as possible in the one-day Circuit Franco-Belge race as they fight to avoid relegation from the WorldTour. 

The Belgian team have played down suggestions its puts points before victories but have changed their racing programme to maximise the points they can score in the final three months of the 2022 season.
