Belgian national selector Jose De Cauwer will now be part of the Davitamon-Lotto cycling pyramid, having finished his selector's career on a high note with Tom Boonen's World Title. De Cauwer's chief role will be to help young riders develop within the team's structure, which will also include the Bodysol-Win for Life and Davitamon-Lotto-VC Ardennes continental teams, and the Bodysol-Lotto-Cycling Team Menen for juniors. De Cauwer will be the youth coordinator for all the teams.
"Financially, this is better than the federation, but also the challenge interests me," said De Cauwer on Sporza radio. "Without the court case [where he is accused of supplying amphetamines to a rider 10 years ago] I would have also taken up this offer. The fact that Davitamon-Lotto doesn't doubt my integrity of course gives me heart." De Cauwer added that he doesn't expect a heavy sentence in the amphetamine case, the verdict of which will be known next week.
