Lotto Soudal are set for a change of senior management at the end of the season, with John Lelangue leaving after four turbulent years in charge and with the team struggling to avoid WorldTour relegation.

Lelangue was appointed general manager at the end of 2018 at a time when the long-running Belgian team went through a period of significant management overhaul that created tension in the team.
