Unibet Tietema Rockets comes to the pro continental level. This is a level below the highest level: the World Tour. This means that the new Groenewegen team is not allowed to start automatically at all major competitions, such as the Tour de France.
Founder and YouTuber Bas Tietema has great ambitions with the team, who made its debut in the Amstel Gold Race last year in a WorldTour race. The ultimate goal is to ride the Tour de France, where the 32-year-old Groenewegen played no significant role this year in the mass sprints. Last year the Amsterdammer won a ride in the Tour.
