2011 Veranda's Willems-Accent season
The 2011 season for the professional cycling team began in January at the Grand Prix d'Ouverture La Marseillaise and ended in October at the Nationale Sluitingsprijs. It was the squad's fourth season as a professional cycling team, although its first as a UCI Professional Continental team; having been part of the UCI Continental Circuits since their foundation in 2008, the team acquired a Professional Continental licence following meetings of the UCI Licence Commission in November 2010.
Thus, in order to compete in any UCI World Tour event, the team had to be invited in advance, by race organisers. Although the team was not selected to ride any of the three Grand Tours held in 2011, was invited to six World Tour races, all held in either the Netherlands or Belgium; Gent–Wevelgem, the Tour of Flanders, the Amstel Gold Race, La Flèche Wallonne, Liège–Bastogne–Liège〔 – all single-day races held in either March or April – and the Eneco Tour, a stage race held in August.
Veranda's Willems-Accent took only five victories during the 2011 season, of which three came in summer stage races. Steven Caethoven took the final stage victory at the Delta Tour Zeeland in the Netherlands, while Stefan van Dijk and Jurgen Van Goolen won stages at the Route du Sud race, held in the south of France. The team also recorded no fewer than 28 top-ten placings in single-day races, including two victories for Evert Verbist at the Beverbeek Classic in February and Gregory Habeaux at Dwars door het Hageland in July. Although not winning any of the races, van Dijk was the team's most consistent performer, and ended the season in sixth place in the UCI Europe Tour points standings, while Staf Scheirlinckx took an eighth place finish at World Tour level, in the Tour of Flanders.
==2011 roster==
In line with the squad's promotion to the second-tier of UCI-registered racing, were allowed to utilise more riders on their roster as a UCI Professional Continental team. As a UCI Continental team, the team was only allowed to have a maximum of sixteen riders on their roster at any one time, while at Professional Continental level, rosters could range from sixteen to twenty-five riders. Over the course of the season, the team had twenty full-time riders on their books – up from sixteen riders in 2010, with twelve riders joining the team and eight riders leaving – while rider Dries Hollanders and Kevin Van Den Noortgate, a rider from amateur team EFC-Quick Step, joined the team in the second half of the season, on short-term contracts, serving as trainee riders or ''stagiaires''. As such, many of the riders drafted in by the squad were experienced in the higher levels of the sport, having competed at ProTour and Professional Continental level; only two of the twelve new signings were aged 23 or under.
