With the transfer of Ejnar Rosenborg on day 33 Il Grillo will become an entirely Dutch team. It has been taking a while to get used to the new ambition level, while last season we had finished outside the top 9 on two occasions we've now finished inside the top 9 twice this season. Many great teammates have left, and the team was small, causing teammates to ride a lot of races and getting injured. Three new riders should arrive to replace Ejnar, which should solve this problem. We are also proud with Mick Cremens we now have a serious contender for Cobble races. More backup for him is top priority. We're also working on restoring team spirit.
With Buchinxk, Zuidema, Franken, Maaskant, Grasmaaijer and van Lieshout we now have 6 riders from our own talent program. Training them is also has priority.
Aims:
- Win a race with an all-Dutch team
- Win a topdiv race with all-Dutch team
- Win a classic with an all-Dutch team
- Be the highest ranking single-nation team after a whole season (might not be as easy as I thought).

Today Hugo van der Velde won a firstdiv cobble race with a fully Dutch team: love the guy!
We achieved the first aim by winning a second div race with Franken...
So far we are not unhappy: we've got two podiums in topdivision with fully Dutch teams, one of with the newly formed cobble team.
you set the bar pretty bloody high...
Good luck! All national is hard, but if you get the right captain, anything is possible :)
