TVM Van Schilt Professional Cycling Team (Netherlands) - 1988-2000
TVM was transport and still is - you’ll still regularly see TVM semi trailers on the motorways around Ghent & Antwerp. Other sponsors were Bison, Ragno & Adesital. Framesets were Zullo (Italian) or Gazelle (Dutch). Groupsets were Shimano. Sport Director was Cees Priem.
Definitely a team in the Dutch-Belgian Classics mode with the ability to pick up stage wins in any major Grand Tour. Team members were a classy lot - Johan Capiot (Het Volk), Robert Millar, Phil Anderson, Scott Sunderland, Jesper Skibby, Jeroen Blijevens, Tristan Hoffman, Lars Michaelsen, Peter Van Petegem (Flanders & Het Volk), Servais Knaven, Henrik Redant, Robbie McEwen, Geert Van Bondt, (Ghent Wevelgem), Gert Jan Theuinisse and Steven Rooks. The death sentence for the team was the drug induced 1998 Tour de France and team closure beckoned in 2000.
Peter Van Petegem (TVM) - his Classics season started in late February and was all over by the Paris Roubaix in mid April … the rest of the year was irrelevant
Gert Jan Theinisse (TVM) - talented but ….
Phil Anderson (TVM) - could win any race in the world up to 10 days duration, and did just that.
Henrik Redant (TVM) - it was all about the Classics, and after retirement became a noted Sports Director.
Scott Sunderland & Gert Jan Theinisse (TVM)
