Between 1987 and 1989 the team was able to build on good results from Adriano Baffi , Rolf Sörensen , Bruno Cenghialta and Stephan Joho .
From 1990 the team was to be found on many winner lists, including the Monuments Tour of Flanders , Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Lombardy Tour . But also in other important races such as B.
