Former Belgian professional Marc Wauters will return to his roots to work as a sport manager at Team Silence Lotto, the team announced this week. Wauters turned professional with the squad 18 years ago. He is best known for winning stage two of the 2001 Tour de France – a win which netted him a day in the yellow jersey and a $20,000 diamond for winning in front of Belgium's King Albert and Queen Paola.
