Two results today were enough to bring team NJ procycling for the first time in top division. This happened 1 day before the start of Nederlandse Tour. The team is not well prepared for NL Tour but as a Dutch top 10 team we couldn't refuse to sign up ... without Dutch riders. This is the perfect moment to look back in the past at our tour history.
More than 2.5 years ago we started in the Race of the Minuteman with a 2nd and a 4th place in the sprinting stages for Rogerios Merlo who is one of our current trainers. The same season, Merlo captained in our second tour: the first edition of Giro di Sicilia; with a 3rd place as highlight.
After a few seasons without tour we participated again in Sicilia which was a great dissapointment with the young Jonathan Skibby as captain. One season later we showed our love to Sicilia again with a new captain. Elton Moncur has been a legend in our team and managed to get 2 results in the four stage of Sicilia.
So far Sicilia, we finally managed to reach division 3. We stopped participating in tours untill Volta ao Porto in season 37, with Tadesse Awerson in topform, 3 stage results and a 2nd place in the sprint classification.
Now going to the Netherlands where all our fans will shout very hard for an Eritrean guy named Tadesse Awerson and the Danish Neck Agerskjold. Apparently, the team has evolved a lot during these 13 seasons. Hope to enjoy the top division races!
