🇩🇪 Eschborn-Frankfurt (1.UWT) on May 1, 2026.

As a WorldTour race, there are valuable UCI points up for grabs, and that makes this one even more important for us. We went on the attack early, with Matyáš Kopecký in the breakaway, taking the race on from the front.

But in a race like this, can he hold on all the way to the finish?

We are the Unibet Rose Rockets 🚀.

A professional cycling team, founded in 2021 as Tour de Tietema Cycling Team by Bas Tietema, Josse Wester and Devin van der Wiel. What started as a bold idea on YouTube has grown into a team challenging the pro peloton.

Follow us as we chase our ultimate dream (racing ánd winning a stage in the Tour de France 🤤) while showing the reality behind it. The highs, the setbacks, and everything in between.

Expect raw emotions, race action, cycling challenges, behind-the-scenes access, gopro footage, pro rider stories and life inside a team that does things a bit differently. From WorldTour wildcards to gravel rides, from team bus chaos to podium dreams.

This is our journey.

To the Tour and beyond!

  1. Big shout out to Bas: your English is getting better and better! Back in the days it just felt strange that these videos weren't in Dutch, but now you barely even notice anymore.

  2. It’s a lot of fun following the Rose Rockets. It’s been a great story so far. Best of luck in the Giro and for the rest of the year.

  3. UCI points is about getting as many riders in the top 20/30 instead of winning the race. So you need a team strategy to do so. Why is there not more organization/collaboration to do this? Or perhaps it is not at all visible. Jelle saying he lost all power at 500 meters before the finish. That is a red flag. Drink/nutrition strategy for last kilometer?

  4. So often in last werks u had several guys in the final that did not work together and ghen shared the last placed of the group. What about working on that?

  5. I bet Unibet and similar companies will destroy our youth and society. Should be illegal within all sports. Bad choice for a team to chsnge the sport for good. What a bummer.
