Interested in your jersey design. I attempted to use the same website as KATA. Each attempt looks like a pre-school art class.
Hoegaarden-Farm Frites opens account with early wins Pressure off after solid Australian racing Taylor Phinney (22) has been earmarked as a time trial and solo racer after exploits on the velodrome, but during this year's Tour Down Under he also graduated to a fine finisher with a World Tour stage win to his name. The American was thrust into the job as leader after Gerald Ciolek, the team's main sprinter, failed to keep up with the pace; however, neither inexperience nor lack of sprint pace was visible, and he also kept up with a diminished peloton on the mountain stages to claim a respectable 7th in the general classification. It was otherwise a rather underwhelming start for the much vaunted CPL 'super-sides' which entered the World Tour for the 2013 season. The tour win went to the unfancied puncheur Matteo Montaguti (29) who won in a breakaway group of four on stage 3 and then successfully defended his jersey from no real attacks. Hoegaarden-Farm Frites picked up two of the six stages on offer, the most for any team, with first Jack Bobridge (23) triumphing in a solo 3km long sprint on home South Australian soil, and then Taylor Phinney being allowed to lead out a procession in the criterium finish in Adelaide. Team manager Gino Van Oudenhove noted that the early wins will put some pressure off the new team's performances. "Wins are the currency of cycling and if we didn't have any wins by mid-March you'd be asking me awkward questions," he told Het Laatste Nieuws in an interview from Adelaide. "Now we've got our early wins and can focus fully on the home classics." The next key race for the CPL side will be the in late February, when the Northern European classics season opens with the Omloop «Het Nieuwsblad» across Flemish iconic roads such as the Berendries in Brakel, the cobbled Molenberg climb, and the cobbled Paddestraat in Zottegem.
Classics season off to stunning start Hoegaarden party in home conditions With seven different names on the winning palmarès before the start of March, it would be fair to say that the Hoegaarden-Farm Frites squad have succeeded in their aim to dominate the early season. A particular sigh of relief was heard all across Belgium as Tom Boonen was the first to cross the line in Gent at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, with a solo race from 30km out reminiscent of last year's Paris-Roubaix win. Boonen followed that up the following day with a win in the slightly lower rated race at Kuurne - the Hoegaarden team dominated that local race, attacking left, right and center to split the field on the cobbled climbs. Eventually, Tom Boonen escaped with his trusty domestique Johan Vansummeren, and the two held a confused and dejected peloton at bay with a dominant duo time trial effort. To have the Belgian in top form bodes well as the team prepares for perhaps their most important race of the year, the Ronde van Vlaanderen in the last weekend of March. Earlier in the week, Hoegaarden occupied all 4 top spots at the newly instituted French race La Drôme Classic, with Italian hill specialist Oscar Gatto taking his first individual victory of the season after being denied the GC win in the Tour de Haut Var. Sylwester Szmyd also picked up rare personal success in Lugano, Switzerland, and Edvald Boasson Hagen turned from Belgian cobbles to Italian gravel roads with success as he won a small bunch sprint in the Strade Bianche. With Taylor Phinney continuing his run of form from Down Under, picking up two wins, two stage wins and a points jersey, the continental tour has been dominated by the Hoegaarden team. However, as these races carry no points toward the continued World Tour existence, the team still needs to pick up points - preferably as early as one of the two big stage races coming up this week, Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico.
Vanmarcke steals win from Hoegaarden Belgian team under pressure after first classic A dominant performance from Sep Vanmarcke stole the limelight from a Hoegaarden-Farm Frites side that has been used to ignoring the places past 2 in the result list. The Monument season was expected to start with a bang for the team with last year's Paris-Roubaix winner and this year's Tirreno-Adriatico winner at the start, but instead they were upstaged by a Belgian rider with a palmarès shorter than a podium girl's skirt. Nevertheless, Hoegaarden manager Gino Van Oudenhove refused to take any credit from Vanmarcke. "He rode fantastic, absolutely top-drawer. We have to look at ourselves and figure out why we couldn't come closer at the finish line, but he would have been very, very tough to beat even if we rode better," Van Oudenhove said. He refused to elaborate further on the deficiencies of the team, however. Van Oudenhove grew more enthusiastic when asked about whether he would have liked Vanmarcke to sign for his team. "Naturally. We had him initially but he got a good offer from big foreign money, we can't match that. But young, Flemish, strong puncheur...naturally, he was one of the first on our list." VRT commentator Michel Wuyts was a little more helpful to comment on Hoegaarden's shortcomings. "I don't think they rode well as a team today. It's surprising after all the wins but it seems that the team spirit is coming apart. With Terpstra and Van AVermaet, they have domestiques who can catch any breakaway, but instead they were isolated and relied on Boonen to save them in the sprint. Perhaps Hagen's good performance in the stage race earlier was a factor, but they needed to choose one leader and back him."
