Another Vanthourenhout goes pro

Cyclo-crosser, Dieter Vanthourenhout has signed a professional contract with the Palmans team that will take effect January 1 2008.

Vanthourenhout was under contract with the Easypay team, which has been managed by Dirk Vanopbroeke for one and a half years. "It is with sorrow that we see Vanthourenhout leave, but we couldn't match the offer that he received from Palmans," Vanopbroeke said.
