[edit] Sponsors

[edit] Lotto

Lotto has a long history of cycling sponsorship, they began sponsoring 1984 with Tönissteiner-Lotto-Mavic-Pecotex. In 1985, it became prime sponsor of a team bearing only its name. Walter Godefroot and Patrick Lefevere were early directeur sportifs. The fusion of the Lotto-Adecco and Domo-Farm Frites teams for the start of the 2003 season created the current team and structure in the guise of Lotto-Domo.

[edit] Omega Pharma

Omega Pharma had previously been a co-sponsor of the Quick Step-Davitamon team in 2003 and 2004. Omega Pharma became the main sponsors in 2005, under their Davitamon brand name, the team name switched to Omega Pharma's Predictor brand name in 2007, and finally under the Silence brand from 2008 onwards.

[edit] Current team structure

The team is managed by Belgians Marc Sergeant and Geert Coeman and they are assisted by their countrymen Hendrik Redant, Herman Frison and former Belgian National Team selector José De Cauwer, as well as Italian Roberto Damiani. Filip Demyttenaere acts as public relations manager.

The team is a strong classics team, with emphasis on the northern Spring classics.

[edit] New team focus for 2010

Omega Pharma CEO Marc Coucke has signalled a new focus for the team in the 2010 season, after a disappointing Tour de France 2009 campaign [1]. Coucke confirmed that Belgian rider, Jurgen Van Den Broeck will become team leader in 2010, following the well publicised discontent between management and two-time Tour runner up Cadel Evans.
