Footnotes

  1. Goos joined the team on 1 August, as a stagiaire, from the Rabobank Continental team.[2]
  2. Race held in Belgium and the Netherlands.
gollark: The PIERB are fine with it. I don't know *what* your "board"'s problem is.
gollark: I'd just have to add you to the list of acceptable IRC bridge targets, reload the IRC link, and manually link the link.
gollark: By implode, I mean discard it.
gollark: But there will be no buffering of DMs, so if you get one when not connected it'll just implode.
gollark: Actually, it might?
