Dockx another year with Lotto

Bart Dockx has signed up for another year with Team Silence-Lotto, the team announced Thursday evening.

The 27 year-old Belgian missed much of the season with a broken hip suffered in a crash in Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne in early March. "The team management has full confidence in Bart," the team's press release said, and noted that he came back strong at the end of the season. He finished 111th overall in the Vuelta a España.
