HB Alarm Systems Pro Cycling Team (Netherlands) - 1979-81

HB Alarm Systems were high quality domestic and industrial security alarm systems. Team bikes were Gios (Italian). The jersey design was … well no, go try again.

If any team was ever described as … well why ? … then this obscure Dutch outfit was it. Team members were led by Richard Bukacki (highly regarded Belgian sprinter but at the end of a great career). Other notables included Jos Schipper and Jos Lammertink (both good sprinters who won stages at the Tour of Spain and Tour of Netherlands). Everyone else in the team carried the surname prefix ‘Van’ but didn’t really win anything.
