The team says that the white look represents a new beginning for the team following a turbulent beginning to the season after several of their riders were significantly injured when a driver collided head 💫on with their group during a training ride in Calpe, Spain in January.
“We are prou𒅌d to present our special-edition white "July kit", which symbolizes a fresh start to the season after leaving behind the most ♍challenging period in the team’s history,” team CEO Iwan Spekenbrink said in a team press release.
“As everybody knows, we experienced a dramatic preseason, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:the training accident in Ca🅰lpe, Spain, injuring a significant part of our team. But we kept calm, stuck to our way of working and continued to focus on our long-term vision.
