The team's history can be traced back to 1964, but its current incarnation as the UCI registered road-racing team Team Bridgestone-Anchor started in 2008. For the 2012 season the team made a major change, adding several non-Japanese riders and running half their races outside Japan.[1] For 2013, they signed Damien Monier, a French stage winner at the Giro d'Italia.[2] During this period another Frenchman Thomas Lebas was the team leader for 5 years.
In 2018, the team changed its name to Team Bridgestone Cycling, with an all-Japanese team roster.[3]

gollark: I think modern SSDs have "secure erase" where they just wipe the encryption key from the controller, but there's no way to test how well that actually works.
gollark: So SSDs do MANY tricks to optimize the locations of stuff in flash to minimize wear.
gollark: Flash has to be erased in large blocks to be rewritten, which it can only do 10000 times or so and which is quite slow.
