Davitamon-Lotto wants Leif Hoste

Leif Hoste, currently successfully riding under the wings of fellow Belgians Johan Bruyneel and Dirk Demol at Discovery Channel, has a contract due for renewal at the end of the 2006 season. No need to say that he's a wanted man on the transfer market. Davitamon-Lotto is one of the teams eager to have Hoste back on their team for the coming season: Hoste rode for Lotto-Domo in 2003 and 2004, Domo - Farm Frites in 2001 and 2002, and Mapei-Quick.Step in 1999 and 2000).

Hoste's former team director Marc Sergeant admitted to HNB that he's got a soft spot for 'Polle': "He's been in the top three of the strongest riders all spring."
