It was just a newspaper whose cycling coverage is generally poor beyond July and the Olympics trying to write something about a team and races it just doesn't mention. Should have fully committed to an article about the cobbled classics/Monuments/one-day racing that the average Guardian reader won't know about.
Plus there also a bit double-standard: its terrible when Sky dominates the TdF, but fine when Quickstep dominate...well pretty much everything else.

This is quite a nice evocation of the early classics though - or maybe just Belgium
