The team has just finished their last stage race of the season and it was one of the most succesfull hill races of the season. We had our strongest hill lineup and almost all our punchers played some sort of role, while making 2 breakaways in the process. Great ending to a strong season, but there is still the deciding race in Zuri Metzgete!
Strong race from Lejman winning 3rd stage

Our goal was to finish in the Top 15, but we would never had thought a Top 3 would be possible with our team. A strong overall performace and having a rider as the most scoring in the division is just a bonus. He wasn't alone though and every rider has contributed in some way this season. The outcome of Zuri is not that important, but we will still try and secure our first classics win!
What a season and sadly our promotion means some of our riders, won't be joining the rest in next years roster. Also we're not gonna renew with many leaving the team in transfers, actually that count only remains as two. Big applause to the riders mentioned securing promotion and helping our leaders toward big results.

Blaz Bogataj Loaned out to ONCE winning one stage, however we see no future with him Gasper Svab Joining several break, but didn't impress enough nor do we see him strong enough for PCT Klemen Stimulak Not a strong enough long term investment and we wish him good luck, he surely is talented Blazej Janiaczyk Great leadout throughout the season, but declining will be hard on him Adrian Kurek Potential to nothing and was basically just a filler this year and would be forever Markus Kilsgaard Denmarks biggest TT talent, hope he can find a more suitable team next year willing to max him
------------------------------------ Julien Berard Won a GC and did some notable performaces, would be a great helper in PCT, but I feel he would be better off leading a team in CT, where he might give them a GC aswell Mathieu Drujon The success behind Lavoine's sprints and will surely be missed in the team. We feel that he would a great name to have next season, but he will definitely find a team more interested in his qualities
The season ended with us getting 3rd place and in the end our hill department was what prevented us from winning the title. The winner was deserved and so was second place, so it's good to see we could secure 3rd place. Fantastic season in general and you can see our palmares further up the page
