In celebration of our 2000th race and the start of the real season, Team Radunion has decided to launch a press department. Here, we will share updates on recent highlights as well as our short- and medium-term ambitions.
With the season getting underway, we will field a strong squad for Down Under and a competitive lineup for AlUla. Our primary goal this month is clear: to win races and secure our place in Division 1, despite selling a few more riders.
Looking ahead to the medium term, the spring classics are firmly in our sights, and we believe we have a solid team for that campaign. Humberto is our first true pave leader, even if he currently lacks a strong supporting cast. In the hilly classics, Adriaan and Marek remain close to their peak, and Jonas should also have his opportunity.
Further down the road, the picture is more mixed. Allan and Jonas have the potential to form a high-class duo, but they will need additional support to reach that level. Rest assured, we are not acting out of desperation on the transfer market, but we will move decisively when the right riders become available.
Together with our fans, we are looking forward to an exciting new season full of ambition and memorable moments.

Re: Radunion fan zone
As a good fan of the team I'll share my thoughts. Radunion has "the will of the tempo" that is very rare nowdays, but too much of it makes it bad, even worse than "sucking" in my opinion.
I'd like to see the team making 20% less tempo in general, then it'll be the coolest team.

January went quite well, and some more nice races to come in February. Congratulations to Allan for a Down Under win, great work by the team controlling the small advantage after the prologue. AlUla was a success as well, with two stages and green for Juha. GC went to the last stage, and race dynamics worked a bit against us. So it was just solid fifth and ninth for Jonas and Adriaan.
In February, we look forward to more Tour action. Valenciana and UAE both have an ITT, so Allan will get his chances. The start of the classics season is on the 28th. Already looking forward to it as well.
Team-wise, it is the last month for Andres. He is a great servant for the team who prepared so many sprint wins, bringing the leader to 100 or 150 m in excellent positions. He got 9 wins for himself, including two Giro stages. He will be missed, and still has some fun in February.
Young riders, we are still looking for mister right at a reasonable price. If we do not get our rider in the next few days, he will be in a better position for next year's classics and Giro. So stay calm and look forward to some good business.

February was another successful month for the team. Six stage wins (4 Juha, 1 Allan, 1 Marek), four of them in cat 3 tours. A win and a third GC place for Allan, a sprint jersey for Juha, and a rare mountain jersey for Marek, finishing fifth in div 1. More importantly, Allan and the whole team are now leading the world tour.
The season gets even more interesting in March. Of course, there is MSR, and Juha is looking forward to it. Tour-wise, there is TA, while not ideal for Allan, he will try to go again. Catalunya, we miss the climber to go for GC, but we will bring a strong team. Humberto is not happy with the decision to skip the classics at the end of the month, he prepares for his big day in April and will get some options in March as well.
Medium-term, the season heats up month by month now. The big classics and monuments in April, when the classics team is still strong, and the Giro in May, where team planning is now done, will give us more excitement and opportunities to reach for the stars.
Personal-wise, as planned, Andres left the team after 251 races, 9 wins, and prepared over 50 wins, mainly for Sophus. Mario joined as a young climber early this month. Despite a slow start to training, he will be an important part of the GT teams this year. Kaljo joined as a promising classics for March. He is another important part for tour teams and, depending on his development, will get a shot at some races as well.
