Strava is happy to reveal the (final?) roster for its return to the peloton as a CT team. We feel like that we have managed to stay true to the Strava heritage whilst also paving the way for a successful campaign in this second iteration of the Strava franchise.
If you know Strava's exploits of the past seasons, you will know that we have had the most joyful experiences on the pave, in the hills and in (reduced) bunch sprints. With our new leaders like Greg Van Avermaet, Wesley Kreder, Nacer Bouhanni, Fabio Felline and former Strava pro Anthony Roux, we hope to build up on those past accomplishments and add new ones.
Our thanks go to King Power, Puma - SAP and Kraftwerk with whom we have done deals during this transfer period.

A team without any GC ambitions in stage races, I already love it! Very nice to see you bringing back the old Strava values. Sad you couldn't get reunited with Baugnies tho

As I said in other HQ's I'm really looking forward to the Belgian cobblers battling it out in CT this season  Also, I feel more sorry every time I read about the strong bond between you and Jerome Baugnies, so yeah, sorry

So happy when I saw your bid for Anthony Roux  Definitely a contender for my top 3 favourite MG riders after what he did for us, and special to have him go back to you for his last year of possible hill leadership - hope with actual planning and no Kwiatkowski he can do more than stage hunting this season, was a shame he couldn't pull off his old magic more consistently last time.
Some cool guys there. Greg is a classy leader for Strava, did actually wonder if you would go for him when I saw him in the FA list Can't wait for the old Strava magic to weave itself once more!

Thanks for all the nice words. Having Roux back is great and Greg a very nice addition to keep our cbs streak going. Personally I would love to have a time machine to get the 2016 version of Langeveld back

Nice that Jesper Hansen found a home! After 6 years with us he unfortunately was lost in the roster crunch of relegation, but he's a great puncheur domestique and was crucial to the success of Juul-Jensen in the past. He should be good for you.

So this is how Strava v2 is shaping up! Nice to see Roux back amongst a good depth in the hills, and it'll be interesting to see how a rider like Kreder gets on.

Thanks guys - happy to give hom to some proven talent. Indeed, Kreder could be a big hit for us, or a bit of a disappointment. Hopefully he can hang on well in the hills to win those reduced sprints.

Happy to reveal our goals for this campaign:
| Win | 1 Jour Dunkerque | | Win | GP Kigali | | Top 5 | Rund um den Finanzplatz Frankfurt-Eschborn | | Top 10 | Gent Wevelgem | | Top 5 | CT Standings |
As is apparent, a strong cobbler like Greg was required from sponsor side to have a shot at fulfilling some of our more ambitious goals. How close we will come to fulfilling them, we will see.
