Quick.Step - Innergetic 2008 prepares for first meeting

Nearly all the members of the 2008 Quick.Step-Innergetic team will meet together for the first time on Thursday and Friday at Knokke on the Belgian coast. The only exceptions are Steven De Jongh and Sebastien Rosseler who are away on holiday.

As well as planning the new forthcoming season, the meeting at Knokke will be a chance for athletes, technical staff and sponsors to celebrate the team's 51 victories during the 2007 season. Perhaps the highlight of the season was when team leader Paolo Bettini defended his World Championship title in Stuttgart, Germany in September.
