Philippe Gilbert could be transferring to a new team in 2012. His former team of Omega-Pharma Lotto has merged with Quickstep. Gilbert might need a new team, but he will definitely now need a new time trial bike in the color scheme of his 2011 Canyon road bike. But who knows what kind of bike he will be riding in 2012.
