I didn't expect them to be so good early on.
Carboni and Kubis especially seem like two very good transfers.

That makes 3 victories so far this season, they've been very solid so far and with numerous riders.

Seems like a done deal, most media report on it being all but confirmed and every rider has been told to sign elsewhere if they can.

I dont see them missing out now. Unless Arkea indeed somehow survives (they now would have a chance at getting guaranteed WCs) TDT is going to the Tour. Who else are they gonna give a WC too?

So they're gonna be known as Unibet Rose Rockets next year.
