Goals
Sponsors
Team for 2010 season
Star riders
Phillippe Gilbert
Gilbert will be our main focus of the season. His goals this year are for a few wins in the Ardennes classics and also good finishes in the cobbled classics. Also we hope to hold the yellow jersey in the TDF and red jersey in the Vuelta Espana.
Leif Hoste
Hoste will be our main man for the cobbled classics, with Gilbert here to help him we expect some very good results and finally for him to show he can win a cobbled classic.
Jurgen Van Den Broeck
Van Den Broeck, a rider who has been in the shadows of Cadel Evans of the past years, but with Evans moved on we expect him to show his talent, we hope he can finish comfortably in the top 10 in this years TDF.

Santos Tour Down Under
Stage 2
After a good 2nd place on stage 1, we hope we can go one better in todays stage.
The Breakaway
The break consisted of 9 riders, another large dangerous break, this consisted of our man Tom Stubbee, who took the only KOM points today. the break got a lead of 5'00 mins on the peleton.
The peleton work together to chase the break, with Omega Pharma doing some of the work after we realised that the break wasn't working, the last of the break was caught with 15km to go.
2km to go
Our lead out train with Blythe finishing his job, the rest of the main sprinters decided thye would sit on Roelandts wheel, which put us under abit of pressure to get the lead out right.
Finish
A win for Tyler Farrar ahead of Greame Brown and our man Jurgen Roelandts, manxman Mark Cavendish came a distant 4th, which was a surprise.

I don't know which opponents are there, but if there are big guns like the Schlecks, Evans, Arvesen etc., a Top 10 in stage 3 would be ok ;D |

Santos Tour Down Under
Stage 3
Our leader for this race Matt Lloyd will be hoping to get the first Aussie win for this years race, he faces stiff competition in Franck Schleck, previous winner Martin Elmiger and Karsten Kroon.
The Breakaway
The break contained our man Mario Aerts, the break worked well together but the peleton had other ideas, the max time gap recoreded was 2'00 mins before it was wheeled back in.
The peleton just after the break was caught, HTC were the main team pushing the pace to catch the riders out front.
Another break of 4 riders formed, they were left to dangle out there for much of the race with the gap remaining around 2'00 mins, they were eventually wheeled back with 25km to go.
Attacks
First attacks of the race, started by Grega Bole, he was followed by Matt Lloyd, Franck Schleck, Yaroslav Popoyvch and Martin Elmiger, a short while later Karsten Kroon bridged the gap.
Finish
A win for Matt Lloyd, the first Aussie win of this years Tour, he and his team will be proud of that. 2nd went to Grega Bole and 3rd for Karsten Kroon.

1 Matthew Lloyd Omega Pharma - Lotto 3h33'46
