Tony Martin, Judith Arndt and Mark Cavendish's victories in the World Championships last week capped off five years of remarkable athletic success for High Road Sports.
Cavendish's win on Sunday marked the 509th win for the team since 2008 and the 119th win this season for the men and women's team combined.
Also over the weekend Highroad riders Matthew Goss and Ina-Yoko Teutenberg earned Silver and Bronze medals in the road race giving the team a total of five medals at World Championships.
"These great performances top off an unmatched five years of athletic success" said Team Owner Bob Stapleton. "These results are the product of a remarkable group of people - athletes, managers, staff and expert support. We can all be proud to see our success continue through the entire season."
"I am interested to see the impact our athletes and managers have in shaping the sport in the coming years. I believe they can be valuable leaders " added Stapleton. "I would like to thank our people, our partners and our fans for their remarkable support and enthusiasm. We wanted to set the bar high and finish strong. It's been a great ride."
Rolf Aldag who managed the team since the set up also expressed his pride in the team's success reflecting on the 500 plus wins including 50 grand tour stage wins.
"It was and remains an honor to work for this team until the last day," he said. "We achieved so much success with such a unique group of people in our own way, never giving up our values and always trying to do things a little bit differently than others. I am very thankful I had the chance to work with this group of people and I am looking forward to new challenges once the season is over."
Ronny Lauke, who directed the women's team also came away happy from the season.
"I'm really proud at how the girls finished," said Lauke. "We ended the season with a World Time Trial Champion and a bronze medal in the road race and overall it was nice to see every girl contribute to the success throughout the season. By the end of the last race every girl on the team had a victory to her name. Ten of our twelve women competed at world championships and six of them placed in the top 15 in the time trial.
