Either way the team has already lost a lot of quality and gained almost none.
It's basically Belkin Light. Wouldn't surprise me if they were one of the worst teams in the world tour next year. Only Kelderman/Gesink basically..

Huh? They still have their best rider (Vanmarcke), right?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

The best rider on Rabobank next season is Van Asbroeck.

"Gained almost none" is a bit harsh. Van Asbroeck is not a bad swap for Theo Bos, I reckon. He won't win as much, but better quality. Lindeman also has a few good results.

And maybe Gesink will finally have a somewhat decent season again.

The team kit will probably include a lot of yellow, since all three main sponsors (Lotto, Jumbo, and BrandLoyalty) have yellow in their corporate identity.

Or it will be this:

Are they still using Bianchi bikes, or have they got a new bike sponsor?

Bianchi is still on board.

Jetse Bol, Dennis van Winden, David Tanner, and Jack Bobridge will leave. Wagner is still uncertain, as is Graeme Brown (why God, why?)

a bit like Popovich, these guys hangs around but nobody seems to know why.

Anyway good news the team closed a new sponsor deal.

With the new sponsor they should be able to sign some nice additional riders.

Another title sponsor for the team: Dutch supermarket Jumbo. Both CEOs of BrandL and Jumbo know each other very well. They will sponsor for 3 mil. euros a year. Total budget 10,5 mil. euros a year. (Lotto 5, Jumbo 3,5 and BL 2)

TeamLottoNLBrandLoyaltyJumbo guess the team kit will be yellow than.

Good news. Is Jumbo as cheap as c1000? Then I might go shopping there from now on

Oh my gad,Graeme brown has to leave, he is so old and wagner can make his work better and also steegmans if the rumour is true, david tanner, van winden and bol ok, but bobridge impress me in california and other races, he seems to be back to his normal level and isonly 25.

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Wonder if Jumbo's adverts will include some of the team. And Elephants.

 

[l.Harm]

Kruijswijk confirmed as leader of the Giro d'Italia. Which means that Gesink, Kelderman and Ten Dam wil focus on the Tour.

Jumbo, C1000, Albert Heijn, it's about the same. It's a matter of sales shopping for products that don't go bad after a few days. As far as I know C1000 doesn't exist anymore, Jumbo and Plus acquired their stores.

 

[Coat-O]

With more money and new sponsor, there is still room for a handful of riders. A couple of new climbers would boost the team. Anyone left?

This is so embarrassing. Not for Gesink or Kelderman, but for Kramer and especially Mr Rutger. Kramer, the guy who owns everyone and everything in a sport no-one cares about but till date has failed 3 times to win the one race he is aiming to win since he started the sport. It's just not funny, and I'm far from a fan of the former Rabobank, current Belkin team and Gesink.

Sadly we even pay taxes for this obnoxious idiot.

It would be good if ten dam one years does the giro, next year he can be the leader with kruijswijk, but I also believe he will focus on the tour again.I think the team need at leats one climber and a couple of good time trial riders.

 

[janraaskalt]

This is so embarrassing.

They bring interviewing to a whole new level. The interviewer is not interested in the ones interviewed, only using them in a failed attempt to be funny. Not 1 useful question is asked. Very rude and embarrasing indeed.

 

[Red Rick]

I think it kinda shows how little charisma both Gesink and Kelderman have. Its obviously satire though.

Still, if you ask the questions you're expected to ask you're gonna get the answers you're expecting to get. Gesink and Kelderman just let themselves get pushed around, which ironically shows why Kramer is more of a hero to the Dutch public.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

kinda true. If I were Gesink and I got that question I'd just punch Rutger in his annoying face

I dont understand single word,but why the fvck they care about kramer so much,nobody give a freakin monkeys about their sport.speed skating :facepalm:

1. A lot of Dutch people are skeed spating nuts. During the winter its on tv almost every weekend.

2. Kramer is actually an athlete with a lot of charisma
