I really like that well-rounded squad, and you certainly have the star power with Kreder and Drucker to make some waves. I could see our teams clashing a bit on the sprints, and you'll probably have the edge with a fantastic leadout in Bogdonavics. Congrats on putting together that team, and I think your top 10 goal is more than manageable!

That calendar suits your squad very well - going for absolutely everything! Olympia's Tour is nice to see as a home tour where your boys could mix it up whilst Gent-Wevelgem could see Drucker punch above his weight.

@Tamijo: Off course mate, whatever the competition, is on the road. Outside of that, there's no question of hostilities 
We'll need more than just our sprinters performing to do well. Hopefully everyone chips in and we can pick up points in all terrains.
@Booker: Looking forward to those clashes then  . Hopefully, it'll be more than just Kreder and Drucker scoring through the season.
@Jandal: Varied calendar for varied a squad. It was the other way round actually

There are times when things fall into place, perfectly! We were worried how our jersey would look like. Given that it is our first year, we felt that first impressions were quite important. Turns out we were worried for no reason!
The team management proudly presents to everyone the jersey our riders will be wearing for the 2017 season. An incredible design by our jersey-maker Krisa, who combined some quite contrasting colours into a masterpiece. This was definitely worth the wait.

Wow, a very cool looking jersey which should stand out from the pack. Krisa has done a great job, can't wait to see it in the pack!

Amazing job by Krisa, the jersey is awesome. Hope to see next to mine some time, although giving our completely different strenghts that it's kind of unlikely

It'll be riding away from you when Bardet stuns everyone in the mountain days

He can be happy if Bardet stuns the "Gruppetto"

@Tamijo: Well that's the plan but 23 other teams have the same idea
@tsmoha: Thanks
@Ian: Objective achieved then!
@Jandal: Thanks a lot  . Should look good in the pack, no? You seem to have more belief in my riders than I do
@Aquarius: Yes, a very good jersey by Krisa. We should cross paths often enough, given atleast 80% of our calendars overlap. Don't underestimate your opponents too much though mate!

One of be favorite teams for more than one reason.
#1 Love that jersey.
#2 Nice squad.
#3 Taking care of my previous riders.
Marcel Wyss did as you mention win a one day classic for me some years ago but he did more good results and was nice to have on my team.
Michel Kreder was in my team a few season aswell but in PCT he was a bit after the real top guns but still liked him, him and Krieger will be a nice duo in CT.
Jempy Drucker has been a favorite by his stats for me but never really aimed on cobbles before this season but nevertless nice signing.
Good luck this season! |

@Viking: Thank you and love the post . Always nice to have some connections, built up, be it via transfers, or in this case, former riders.
The names you mentioned along with Bardet and Battaglin would be my pillars of the season. If they do well, Philips - Continental will do well.

I might have to talk to the Unilever managers I guess seeing they started to sponsor yet another Dutch cycling team. |
