The Gent six-day promises to have an even stronger field for the 67th edition of the race on 'Het Kuipke', the historic velodrome in the city's Citadel park. World pursuit champion Bradley Wiggins will pair with his future T-Mobile team-mate Mark Cavendish, while last year's pairing of Iljo Keisse and Robert Bartko will continue this year. World Madison Champions Bruno Risi and Franco Marvulli will also appear, while the rest of the teams are yet to be announced.
