Wasn't the German registration more a flag of convenience when they had Alpecin as a sponsor and both Kittel and Degenkolb riding for them? The team was Dutch from its inception and the management remains the same. It wouldn't surprise me if they went back to being registered as a Dutch team now Dumoulin is a world star.
Brilliant ride from them yesterday, especially given the age of the team. All of their riders were born in 1990 or later.

Success breeds success. Subweb are doing something right, incredible year.
I still don't understand Barguil's move to Fortuno, what's up with that?

Indeed the Deutschland flag is more of an administrative thing. But still, it's in the picture frame when they ride so I can't celebrate it as a Dutch victory, sadly ;-)
But wow, Oomen, Kelderman and Dumoulin, the three musketeers. All good TT-ers that can climb, I like where this is going.

Very much so. The women's team is Dutch - hiep hiep Hoera! The men's team is German though - Gratuliere! Splendid performance by both, unique achievement
