Although Mathieu van der Poel remains their biggest star, proving they are more than just a one-man team has been a big part of the journey.
Jasper Philipsen in particular has excelled this year with the Belgian sprint star now World Tour leader for most victories in 2023 after taking his 18th win of the season in the Tour of Turkey.
Among those victories for Philipsen were four stages and the Green Jersey at the Tour de France. "This green jersey belonged to Philipsen and Van der Poel. We won stages and the green jersey with a very complementary and strong team. At the highest level of cycling we have shown that we have matured as a team," say the Roodhooft brothers.
Yet still, there are things missing and more success to target in 2024. "We are still missing the
Tour of Flanders this year. Of course we wanted to win these races, but the plan was to spread that out a bit. Matching this will be extremely difficult. Doing better becomes almost impossible," they conclude with the main goal being; "That Van der Poel wins the Tour of Flanders and Philipsen wins
Paris-Roubaix."
