Despite the mishap at the glitzy Chateau St Gerlach near Maastricht, you can expect the team to win big this season, just as they did last year winning 40 races.
Also in the Boels Dolmans roster for 2017 are world champion Amalie Dideriksen and Olympic champion Anna van der Breggen.
WorldTour winner Megan Guarnier is also there, as is Lizzie Deignan, the former world champion and one of the very best riders in the world.
