Tom Boonen, Thor Hushovd, Stuart O´Grady or Robbie McEven - with such riders we started our second season in category professional continental teams. Our first race was prestigious Belgium classic Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
Riders in peloton had to pass more like two hundred kilometres with the hills and causeways from the famous race Tour of Flanders. "Hard was twenty percentuals wall Muur. In the race was a lat of falls as well," said Vojtech Dlouhy.
Dramatic finis won Thor Hushovd. Our best rider was in 123. place Matthias Friedemann.
