It's that time of the year again where we are going to publish our goal races. Overall I believe they are pretty achievable although some of the later moves in transfers will complicate achieving the goals as they are centred around the cobbles and Maxime Daniel!  Rheden GP - Top 5The Dutch cobbles classic is a race that Daniel has top 5'd in the past and we believe in him to do that once again. Last year we got stuck in a stupid race crash between this and another cobbled classic that we have avoided this year and we believe in Daniel to achieve his third top 5 finsh at Rheden.  Cheshire Cycling Tour - Top 10 The British classic has always been a bit of a mixed bag for us but we believe in the guys to put together a top 10 GC placement this year. GVK finished 11th in 2020 when it was still a stage race and Daniel finished 18th here last year, we believe that this should be a doable goal.   Benelux Challenge - Top 5 This is a race we have strong traditions in. Our worst GC position is a 6th place by Ryan Anderson in 2019 and we have three podium finishes in total, 1 from Alexander Rybakov, 1 from Oscar Riesebeek and 1 from Marko Kump. Riesebeek finished 4th last year and we believe that our team will be one of the strongest here again as we try to achieve the same points total from last year that saw us net well over 300 points from the 6 day stage race. Omloop Het Nieuwsblad - WIN Probably our shakiest goal of the season now as Stalleart will most likely win this one ahead of Theuns. But we will not give up hope, Maxime Daniel has 2 consecutive 2nd places and finished 4th the year before, this is a race that suits his skill set and one we hope to win. We hope to reproduce our top 10 finish from last year but we will see what happens once the season concludes. My personal expectations are that we hit 3/5 of our goals this year.
