But it's weird when one sponsor has been with the team for 19 years, and the other for 23 days...
Yes. In my head. This isn't in my head!
Glad I'm not the only one.
Several explanations (or excuses?) come to my mind.
First (and probably most true):
I'm not very complicated person, to be honest. If something's name in 2023 is (or begins with) Soudal, it's Soudal for me. If Miss Quinn marries Mr Smith on 1 January 2023 and she decides to take his name, I will call her Mrs Smith from that date onwards.
Second (not true, but it sounds good and it adds some seriousness to this not-so-serious discussion):
This poll is not only about pure entertainment. It's objective is also to educate forum users and to make them familiar with the new 2023 official team names, to help them avoiding "Soudal 2022 vs. Soudal 2023" confusion etc.
Third (also not very true):
Naming team as Soudal (and not as Quickstep) in the poll is a sign of my profound respect for the Soudal enterprise which, in this difficult time of economic recession, decides to spend enough money to deserve the first title sponsor place.
But regardless of whether Soudal is just Soudal or it is the new Quickstep - keep calm, cast your vote and have fun!
