Steegmans moving
Gert Steegmans, the Davitamon-Lotto rider from Belgium who finished the Tour two slots above the Lanterne Rouge in the overall rankings, and who served as Robbie McEwens' leadout man, will be moving to Quickstep. Pez said, "Steegmans will both bolster Quick.Step for the Classics as well as Tom Boonen's lead-out train, which was lacking at the Tour this year."
