With the new cycling year approaching, the Shimano Neutral Service Team has been preparing for a period in which reliability makes all the difference. During the annual team day at Autotron in Rosmalen, the foundations were laid for an intensive spring campaign, starting with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne.

Laying the foundations for the season

The team day focused on coming together, sharpening preparations and looking ahead. Although part of the team had already been active at international races earlier in the year, the opening classics in Flanders traditionally mark the moment when the season truly gets underway. In Rosmalen, the team worked on alignment and further refining its processes.

Support where it matters most

During various training sessions, mechanics, drivers and motorbike pilots prepared for the wide range of situations that can occur during a race. From mechanical issues to feeding, every detail was reviewed and optimised once again. This laid the foundation for a service that continues to operate reliably under all circumstances, exactly when it matters most.

Active at the highest international level

This season, the Shimano Neutral Service Team will once again operate at the highest international level, supporting races organised by Amaury Sport Organisation, including the Tour de France, as well as Flanders Classics’ spring classics such as the Tour of Flanders. World Championships and other leading races are also on the calendar.
