Davitamon-Lotto rider Gert Steegmans has been reported to switch to Quick.Step for next season, where he will join his junior rival Tom Boonen. The 26 year-old Steegmans, who revealed his capabilities this spring season, was negotiating his future with his current team when "an obstacle" came about. Spanish outfit Illes Balears had also made an offer, but the Belgian chose to stay in his home country.
