Wanty Gobert-Tormans announced Friday that they signed two neo-pros Jasper De Plus and Alexander Evans on a two-year deal that will see them racing for the Belgian team through 2021. Team director Hilaire Van der Schueren said that the team is committed to investing in young talent.

De Plus, 22, is the younger brother of Laurens De Plus (Jumbo-Visma) and he joins the team from Home Solution-Soenens. He is a notable time triallist and recently won the under-23 Chrono des Nations and was second in the under-23 time trial at the Belgian Championships.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
