Sometimes there's not enough words to describe how much a rider has impacted a team, and in Lieuwe's case, that's true. Even if he's not the greatest rider this team had, and he'd be the first one to tell you that, his impact in this team development is incommesurable. He single-handedly took us from a minor local team to a team that was close to being elite, and left us in a position where making the transition to a top team was just easy. And when that happened, he stayed in the sideline and helped his team mates, never claiming a chance unless he was unmistakably the best rider to take it. And today he retires with a victory for his team mate and a smile on his face, knowing he has delivered once more, to the benefit of the team where he started his career and never left.
Some figures that maybe help non-insiders understand the impact of Lieuwe on Navarone CT:
20 wins, 49 results, 4 trophies
2 1st Div. wins
>7000 points
>850k in earnings, >600k netto
First race with the team, we stood barely in 3rd division. Last one, a win in 1st Div. against the best sprinters in the world.
Lieuwe will take a well deserved break, and join our trainer staff during season 60.

Special rider for you, that speaks from the great biography. He had his prime before I was here obviously, but you really gave him a history for me. Hope to have such a connection with one of my riders one day too. Great work!
Thanks Frank that is much appreciated :)
Also in the Netherlands he will not be forgotten.
