Six day regular Leif Lampater of Germany took fourth place at the end of the recent Ghent Six Day, but his partner may be unfamiliar to many: Belgian Tosh Van Der Sande. The 20 year-old from Wijnegen has recently signed for Lotto-Belisol for season 2012 on the back of an excellent 2011 season with Lotto feeder team Davo, following the same route as Briton, Adam Blythe. His successes in the Under 23 ranks have marked him out as a big talent for the future, with victories in races such as the U23 Liège-Bastogne-Liège proving his worth.
