As a fan of the team I gotta say I'm pretty happy with how the season went as well, especially since half of the time I was worrying if they would still be around next year. Sad they're losing Woods and Vanmarcke and especially Martinez but let's hope they can surprise again next year and be so visible (not only jersey-wise) in so many races, even with a somewhat reduced roster (how many riders will they even have? It felt like there were only announcements of riders leaving and hardly any signing on...).Huge result for Carthy! And a great season for the team. 6 GT stage wins (as many as in 2015-2019 combined) and 17 wins overall in a shortened season in which they weren't even racing outside of WT after early March. They were a factor in pretty much every major race (either high placings or at least having a few riders in a final selection and narrowly missing a good result, like in Flanders). This is very impressive with reportedly 2nd lowest budget in WT. Why can't Vaughters have a decent budget to work with for one...
On a related note, EF and Cannondale will launch teams at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Tribal Colleges and Universities in the US (funding three new cycling programmes for three years, starting in 2021) (Link).
