23 year-old Belgian Wim De Vocht has assured his future for the next three years, signing a contract with Davitamon-Lotto to that effect. De Vocht was a key member of the team in the spring classics, and the team expects him to grow in the coming years under leader Peter van Petegem and mentor Herman Frison.
Head sponsor Omega Pharma is also looking at the development of Belgian cycling in the future, and has plans to create a Walloon continental team in 2006 to join Bodysol-Win for Life-Jong Vlaanderen, and amateur teams Davitamon-Lotto-VC Ardennes and Bodysol-Lotto-CT Menen in supporting young riders.
