T-Mobile in Belgium

T-Mobile Team is continuing its Belgian racing program one man short this weekend. It will be sending only seven riders to the Record Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen, all of whom started Wednesday's Le Samyn.

Only Roger Hammond will not be riding the weekend race, because he is scheduled to start in Paris-Nice on Sunday. "We had originally planned to use Andre Korff for the Belgian week, but he didn't recover in time from a cold," said Directeur Sportif Jan Schaffrath. "If we do draft another rider, it will be a last-minute call."
