Yeah, despite the general opinion, I quite liked the idea with Project 1t4i in real life. The jersey will be very similar to the real life one, but for now only I and Will007 will know how it looks like.
And yes, there will be some major changes in the team. New sponsor, new focus. Read that as in good bye team time-trials.

All the cool kids do TTT's though.
I think I showed how cool I am after winning 80% of this year's team time - trials
After not the greatest start, with Ardila not looking able to get a top 15 after the first two weeks, we took our revenge in the final week of the Tour.
In the 17th stage, Ardila went in the breakaway and gain an important amount of time over the next favorites, which put him into fourth overall. But with the time lost in the last mountain stage and the final time - trial he was only able to finish 12th. Still it's a good performance, finishing on the same spot as he did in Il Giro as well as Ruben Plaza in La Vuelta.
In the 19th stage, after sitting in the pack for 18 stages, Sylvain Chavanel finally made his much awaited move. In a breakaway dominated by French riders, Chavanel broke away from the other escapes with about 30 km to go. In the end, he's winning margin was more than 6 minutes. A stage win in Le Tour completes an amazing season for Chavanel, who also won La Fleche Wallone and finished 9th in Paris-Nice, while riding for Gesink.

After a mediocre season, Michel Kreder managed to achieve his first win ever after finishing first in the second stage of the Vuelta a Colombia.
The team also had a more than decent performance in the general classification, Mauricio Ardila hanging pretty good in the mountains and finished 8th overall after the final time - trial.
As mentioned before, Jack Wolfskin will not continue their current sponsorship with the team. The team will continue as Project 1t4i next season. The JW shirt will be last seen at the National Championships, which are just around the corner.
Here are a few pictures which should show what Jack Wolfsking meant to the world of cycling in the last 3 years.
