It was already very first cream what the Team Vorarlberg Santic conjured up as a Continental team on the asphalt. Especially in the fight against the big World Tour and Pro Continental teams, there were some sporting exclamation marks!

Not only the fact that you could fix seven UCI victories, witnessed a great development of the whole team. Especially how these successes where driven home was very impressive – AND planned.

The sports management has extended the preparatory phase compared to the previous years and thus created basis for a broader basis. It was an attempt which was successfully in May. From that time until the end of the Season at Paris-Bourges in October, the team was able to convince nationally and internationally with a high degree of consistency. With well over 100 race days, was Austria (nicht österrreich sondern in österrreich oder?)  no only the benchmark in terms of girth, but above all it the unruly Team Spirit and offered the competition its brains. With well over 100 race days, the Austrian team was not only the benchmark in terms of size, they also felt the unruly team spirit and stood up to the competition.
