# Arnaud De Lie

Arnaud De Lie (born 16 March 2002) is a Belgian professional cyclist, who currently rides for UCI ProTeam Lotto, having been promoted from the Lotto–Soudal U23 team at the end of the 2021 season.

## Career

De Lie opened his first professional season with the Vuelta a Mallorca races. He finished 71st and 117th in the first two races and won the fourth race Trofeo Playa de Palma in a bunch sprint against Juan Sebastián Molano, his first professional victory.
After his win in Mallorca, he won eight more races in the season, finishing in 13th position in the end of year rankings as the best rider for Lotto–Soudal. He scored many points in the battle to avoid relegation but his team was relegated to the second division.
In 2023, De Lie again started the season in Spain, winning his season opener: the Clàssica Comunitat Valenciana 1969. He then competed at the Étoile de Bessèges, winning two stages, followed by winning the sprtint for second place at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in late February. In early May, he took his first UCI ProSeries win at the Grand Prix du Morbihan, before having to abandon the Four Days of Dunkirk on 16 May after falling heavily during the sprint of the first stage in Abbeville. He was found to have suffered a pneumothorax, fractures of the left clavicle, a rib and the upper part of the sternum. He returned to competition on 25 June in the Belgian National Road Race Championships, and returned to winning form a month later, taking stage two of the Tour de Wallonie. He won two more races in August: La Polynormande on the 13th and the Grote Prijs Jef Scherens two days later. On September 8, he took his biggest win yet, as well as his first at the UCI WorldTour level, outsprinting Corbin Strong and Michael Matthews at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec.
On September 28, he won the Circuit Franco-Belge on an uphill finish on the Mont-de-l'Enclus ahead of Rasmus Tiller. Three days later, he won the Famenne Ardenne Classic in his native province of Luxembourg. A few dozen meters before the finish, he broke the cleat of his right pedal but managed, by pedaling with one foot, to still hold off the chasers behind him and take the win. In total, Die Lie won 10 races in 2023.
In February 2024, De Lie sustained some injuries in a crash at Le Samyn. However, after recovering from this, he continued to see a lack of results, and after a blood test, was diagnosed with having Lyme disease. After receiving treatment with antibiotics, he took his first win of the season in late April, defending his title at the Famenne Ardenne Classic. A week later, he won the Tro-Bro Léon in an eight-man sprint.
