Thus, in order to compete in any UCI World Tour event, the team had to be invited in advance, by race organisers.[2] Although the team was not selected to ride any of the three Grand Tours held in 2011, Veranda's Willems–Accent was invited to six World Tour races, all held in either the Netherlands or Belgium; Gent–Wevelgem,[3] the Tour of Flanders,[4] the Amstel Gold Race,[5]La Flèche Wallonne,[6]Liège–Bastogne–Liège[6] – all single-day races held in either March or April – and the Eneco Tour, a stage race held in August.[7]
Veranda's Willems-Accent took only five victories during the 2011 season, of which three came in summer stage races. Steven Caethoven took the final stage victory at the Delta Tour Zeeland in the Netherlands, while Stefan van Dijk and Jurgen Van Goolen won stages at the Route du Sud race, held in the south of France. The team also recorded no fewer than 28 top-ten placings in single-day races, including two victories for Evert Verbist at the Beverbeek Classic in February and Gregory Habeaux at Dwars door het Hageland in July. Although not winning any of the races, van Dijk was the team's most consistent performer, and ended the season in sixth place in the UCI Europe Tour points standings,[8] while Staf Scheirlinckx took an eighth place finish at World Tour level, in the Tour of Flanders.
2011 roster
In line with the squad's promotion to the second-tier of UCI-registered racing, Veranda's Willems–Accent were allowed to utilise more riders on their roster as a UCI Professional Continental team. As a UCI Continental team, the team was only allowed to have a maximum of sixteen riders on their roster at any one time,[9] while at Professional Continental level, rosters could range from sixteen to twenty-five riders.[10] Over the course of the season, the team had twenty full-time riders on their books – up from sixteen riders in 2010, with twelve riders joining the team and eight riders leaving – while An Post–Sean Kelly rider Dries Hollanders[11] and Kevin Van Den Noortgate, a rider from amateur team EFC-Quick Step,[12] joined the team in the second half of the season, on short-term contracts, serving as trainee riders or stagiaires.[13] As such, many of the riders drafted in by the squad were experienced in the higher levels of the sport, having competed at ProTour and Professional Continental level; only two of the twelve new signings were aged 23 or under.
The team had very little success in the single-day races in the early part of the year, and it was not until February before the team achieved a top ten placing in a race. At the Beverbeek Classic in Belgium, Verbist and Dries Hollanders – who would join Veranda's Willems Accent later in the year as a stagiaire – attacked off the front of the field and in the process, set up a two-man sprint for the victory in Hamont-Achel. Verbist gapped Hollanders by a second to win the race for the second time,[22] after previously winning the race in 2006 with the Chocolade Jacques–Topsport Vlaanderen team.[23] In March, van Dijk took two second place finishes – both coming in mass sprints – at Omloop van het Waasland behind Landbouwkrediet's Aidis Kruopis,[24][25] and the Nokere Koerse behind Gert Steegmans of Quick-Step.[26]
Later in March, Van Groen finished ninth in the Classic Loire Atlantique,[27] and Vanlandschoot took a sixth place finish the next day in the Cholet-Pays de Loire race.[28] In April, during one of the team's wildcard entries to a World Tour race, Scheirlinckx finished in eighth place in the Tour of Flanders,[29] having bridged up to the lead group prior to the final climb of the race, the cobbled Bosberg hill, 10 km (6.2 mi) from the finish in Meerbeke. Van Dijk finished fourth in the Scheldeprijs three days later,[30] having avoided a crash in the finishing straight which eliminated several riders from contention for the top placings. This result was again followed the next day by a top ten finish by Vanlandschoot, as in the Grand Prix Pino Cerami, Vanlandschoot finished in ninth place.[31] May and June brought the team two more top ten finishes each month; Verbist finished tenth in the Circuit de Wallonie,[32] and eighth in the Gullegem Koerse national event in Belgium,[33] while in June, van Dijk finished fifth in the Tour de Rijke,[34] and Van Groen finished tenth in another national event, the Ruddervoorde Koerse.[35]
The second half of the 2011 season for Veranda's Willems-Accent was more impressive than the first half of the year, taking top ten placings in 18 out of 22 single-day races held between July and October. It began with a victory, with Habeaux taking his first professional win in Dwars door het Hageland, held in Aarschot, Belgium.[56] Verbist finished sixth in the Grand Prix José Dubois,[57] before Habeaux took another top ten finish in Antwerpse Havenpijl in August.[58] Later in August, van Dijk finished third in the Dutch Food Valley Classic,[59] Verbist finished tenth in the Châteauroux Classic,[60] Drucker finished sixth in the Grote Prijs Stad Zottegem,[61] with Van Goolen adding a fourth top ten within the space of a week, with third in the Druivenkoers Overijse event.[62]
Compared to the team's single-day form, Veranda's Willems-Accent were not so prominent during the stage races. Schmitz took a minor classification win at the Étoile de Bessèges, winning the mountains classification comfortably, scoring more than double the points of his closest rival Yuri Trofimov of Team Katusha.[78] The team's first stage win did not come until June, when Caethoven won the final stage of the Delta Tour Zeeland into Terneuzen.[79] Later in the month, the team took two more stage wins at the Route du Sud, with van Dijk winning the opening stage into Samatan,[80] and Van Goolen won the third stage into Bagnères-de-Luchon, having soloed to victory from an earlier twelve-man breakaway, eventually winning the stage by 96 seconds.[81] Van Dijk also took out the points classification for the team,[82] which was the team's final classification win of the year. Later in the season, Degand took third place in the two-day Paris–Corrèze race.[83]
As the squad was a UCI Professional Continental team for the first time in 2011, they were in a position to compete in one of the three Grand Tours.[2] As such, all eighteen UCI ProTeams were invited automatically to each of the races, meaning that Veranda's Willems–Accent had to receive an invitation from each respective race organiser, in order to compete. However, the squad was not selected to ride any of the three Grand Tours; for the Giro d'Italia, four of the five wildcards were largely Italian teams, with the Geox–TMC team being the only exception.[84][85] Four wildcards were on offer for the Tour de France, and all were received by French-based teams – Cofidis, Team Europcar, FDJ and Saur–Sojasun[86] – and at the Vuelta a España, home teams Andalucía–Caja Granada and Geox–TMC were invited along with Cofidis and Dutch team Skil–Shimano.[87]
Season victories
At the end of the 2010–2011 UCI Europe Tour season, Veranda's Willems–Accent was ranked in fourteenth place in the final Europe Tour standings,[88] with a total of 879 points contributed by the team's best eight riders in the concurrent individual rankings.[89] Van Dijk was the team's best placed rider on the individual rankings, finishing in sixth place with 494 of the team's points; missing out on a top-five ranking by 24 points.[8] Outside of the team's continental home tour, the squad was also ranked in the 2010–2011 UCI Africa Tour standings; with 14 points contributed by Degand, Venter and Habeaux at the Tour of South Africa, the team ranked in sixteenth place out of 22 points-scoring teams.[90] The team also scored 40 points on the 2010–2011 UCI Asia Tour,[91] but this was due to the acquisition of results as Veranda's Willems–Accent did not compete in Asia as a team during the season; David Kemp joined Veranda's Willems–Accent for the 2011 season, having won the Tour of Taihu in October 2010 for Fly V Australia.[92]
Although the team was able to compete in UCI World Tour races during the season, no points were awarded to the team following a new rule introduced by the Union Cycliste Internationale, clarifying that only UCI ProTeams were eligible to score World Tour points.[93]
The team attracted a co-sponsor for the 2011 season, having been known as Verandas Willems during the 2010 season. When the list of 2011 UCI Professional Continental Teams was announced in December 2010, the team name was listed as Veranda's Willems–Accent.[94] This was due to the involvement of Accent Jobs for people, a Belgian recruitment company, focusing on the job market in their native country as well as the pan-European market.[95] They joined Veranda's Willems, a Belgian manufacturer of conservatories and windows, as main sponsors of the team. Other team partners included carbonated soft drinks company Coca-Cola, bicycle components company Miche, sports equipment manufacturer Oakley, electronic sports equipment manufacturer Sigma Sport, and many more.[96]
Following the 2011 season, it was announced that Accent Jobs for People would become "the full owner/sponsor of their Pro Continental cycling team", and in effect, change the order in which the names appeared in the team's documentation; becoming Accent.jobs–Willems Veranda's for 2012.[97] The team had hoped to acquire another main sponsor in order to provide budget for any further signings that the team may have wished to have carried out, but this did not materialise; leaving the team shy of the 20 riders they wished to have.[98] As well as a change in the background running of the team, with Wim Vanhaelemeesch replacing Bill Olivier as team manager,[97] the team also introduced a new-look kit for the 2012 season. Replacing the white-and-black kit that the team had adopted since its formation, a predominately orange kit with areas of black around the shoulders was introduced ahead of their 2012 season-opening race.[99]
Postseason
Six riders left the team at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Failing to take a top ten finish at any race in the season, Dieter Cappelle was not retained after two seasons with the team. Sven Van Den Houte, who had been with the team since 2009, left the squad to join the Colba-Superano Ham team,[100] after failing to register a top-50 finish in any race he contested in 2011. The other four riders left the squad after only twelve months with the outfit; Jaco Venter left to join Differdange–Magic–SportFood.de,[101] while Thomas Vernaeckt left to join the new Belgian-Algerian squad formed for the start of the 2012 season, Geofco Ville d'Alger.[102]David Kemp failed to garner a contract for the 2012 season, while Bram Schmitz retired from competitive racing at the age of 34; he competed as a professional between 1999 and 2011, for the TVM–Farm Frites, Batavus-Bankgiroloterij, T-Mobile Team and Van Vliet–EBH Advocaten teams, as well as his season with Veranda's Willems–Accent.
