* Ludo Dierckxsens (Landbouwkrediet): "I want to be good in April and play my part in the spring
classics."
* Christophe Brandt (Lotto-Domo): "Paris-Nice, Walloon classics, and the Tour: that's the
continuous thread. In the Tour I want to be top 20."
* Niko Eeckhout (Lotto-Domo): "Winning races is my continuing ambition. The Flemish classics are my
main goal."
* Chris Peers (Cofidis): "I want to become the Peers from 2001 again. When that works out, I want
to shoot a main prize, somewhere between Het Volk and the Gold Race."
* Tom Boonen (Quick.Step): "I ask for some patience. I'm only 22 and can steadily mature behind
Bettini, Museeuw or VDB."
* Rik Verbrugghe (Lotto-Domo): "I aim high: podium in the Giro, top 10 in the Tour. The Ardennes
classics have my priority leading up to the Giro."
* Tom Steels (Landbouwkrediet): "I won't name any particular race, but I want to win. My dream: to
beat Cipollini wearing his rainbow jersey."
* Serge Baguet (Lotto-Domo): "Same goal as last year: shine in the classics and win a Tour stage."
* Dave Bruylandts (Marlux): "I want to win some races, be a player in the Ardennes classics, and
end up in the top 5 in some minor tour."
* Axel Merckx (Lotto-Domo): "In LBL I will sacrifice myself for Verbrugghe. Giro or Tour, I've not
decided yet. If I ride the Tour, I want to finish with more reserves than before. I need those
for Worlds."
* Kurt Van de Wouwer (Quick.Step): "I expect a good Tour. I won't commit to some classification or
a stage victory. I take it as it comes."
* Fabien De Waele (Pallmans-Colstrop): "I want to do better than last year: win more races and get
more high placings in the Flemish classics. I am no longer satisfied with, say, a stage in
Paris-Nice."
* Frank Vandenbroucke (Lotto-Domo): "I will try and get my share in the classics period, want to
ride a strong Belgian championship and will thoroughly prepare in the autumn for Worlds. I am
satisfied when I can get some consistency in my performances."
