It may not been what we wanted but it was the lot given to us, Hugh Carthy signs with us but not Andreeta. We are very excited to welcome Hugh as the final piece to our puzzle and joins the new wave of, surprisingly, British pure climbers. That may not be cricket but the Kiwis rule at that now so...
CX Team
After long negotiations with BKCP-Powerplus we finally reached an agreement when former world champion Niels Albert surprisingly was he one to suggest a merger. When speaking to the sponsors BKCP were open to it, while Powerplus insisted they would quit if it happened. They quit, it happened and I can present to you:
BKCP-PureBlack
We are open to new names as that isn't the best.
Roster
The BKCP boys were split on the decision, forming a new team, Topsport-Powerplus, led by German champion Philip Wasleben. There is sure to be tension, and the UCI and many purists will be on their side.
I present to you:
Niels Albert Mathieu van der Poel David van der Poel Daan Hoeyberghs Josiah Bennett Milan Listerijn Alex Revell Tanē Tahawhira

@trekbmc It sure does, looking promising for next season, a couple of old heads mixed in with an abundance of young talent.

We recently struck a deal with Endura to produce our road team kit for 2014-16, and they immediately put me through to their best designer, who goes by the name of HuDCC . Over the last few weeks we have been quietly discussing the kit, hoping for a slick design that was true to the roots. I must say, we are astounded by it, with the riders praising its comfort and breathability, but mainly its design:
Team Presentation
The full squad presentation is penciled in for January in Wellington, which will include a full overview of the squad, with interviews of the staff and riders. Look out then.
Spoiler
