Sports manager Danny Stam is entering his 11th season with Team SD Worx-Protime. "The strength of this team is the togetherness. And that led to an unforgettable 2023. People sometimes forget how many different riders from our team won races in 2023. I loved watching our girls go through fire for each other. They are surrounded by unique staff. The strength of the framework is that everyone takes responsibility and tries to facilitate the riders as much as possible. We do it together and that makes Team SD Worx-Protime special."

"We experienced a lot of great moments last season. My hardest race is also one of my most beautiful moments: winning the Tour de France Femmes. But I will also remember the emotion after winning the Tour of Flanders and the Amstel Gold Race. How we played with the team and how the riders pushed each other to a higher level, that was very beautiful."

It produced a unique 2023 with a whopping 64 victories. "It was incredible, but now the counters are back to zero. It's up to us to perform as well as we can again. Surpassing 2023 is just not possible. Of course we are trying to do better year after year, but just matching this number is almost an impossible task. Although that is also nice to be able to say sometimes! As a team, we just have to stay how we are, racing the same way to hopefully get the races to our liking. How many and which races we end up winning in 2024 doesn't matter. The most important thing is that we can create the same spirit as last year. Then the wins will follow."
