One of the main new recruits for the team was former junior rider Ellen van Dijk.[6] In March Ellen van Dijk became University World Champion at the 2006 World University Cycling Championship in the women's road race.[7] and finished second in the women's time trial.[8] The other main victories for the team were Flèche HesbignonnebyChantal Beltman and stage 2 of the Tour Féminin en LimousinbyEllen van Dijk.
