Quick-Step chasing success in Belgium

Tom Boonen, Gert Steegmans and Sylvain Chavanel headline the Quick Step squad at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on Saturday and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne on Sunday and hope to win at least one of the two races. However the riders confirmed they were not planning to boycott the opening races of the Belgian season because of the race radio ban implemented by the International Cycling Union.
