The Belgian Davitamon-Lotto-VC Ardennes team will take a step up next year to become a Continental squad, the VC Ardennes club has announced. The team has established a strong identity and structure in Wallonia, and will be linked with Davitamon-Lotto for at least the next three years. Its aim is to develop young riders, focusing on third and fourth year espoirs and the young elite riders. It will also keep its "national" team that will train new espoirs.
