Gert Dockx came to Team HTC-Columbia for his first year as a professional rider in 2009. He stagiaired with the team at the end of 2008 and showed the character and talent to have a great future with the team and in cycling.

In 2007 Gert won the U23 version of Het Volk and in '08 he won a stage of Ronde de l'Isard d'Ariège. We look forward to seeing Gert's progress during the year.
