Panasonic Professional Cycling Team (Netherlands) - !984-92

Few teams can cross the divide of winning both single day races and Grand Tours but Panasonic won in all forums, and in so doing created a champion team plus a long string of individual champions. Team manager was the one the only Peter Post.

Panasonic is a world wide domestic appliances manufacturer, with sub sponsors in Isostar and Sportlife. Bike suppliers were Raleigh, Eddy Merckx and Colnago (up to 1989), then switched to a “Panasonic” bike brand in 1990. Groupsets were Campagnolo up to 1990, then switched to Shimano.

Team members were the best of the best, and won World Road Championships (with Rudy Dhaenens), numerous Classics (with Planckaert, Anderson, Van Lancker, Breukink & Vanderaerden) and Tour victories with Anderson, Winnen & Breukink. Phil Anderson won numerous Classics and any Tour up to 10 days in length has his name on it, and the team itself specialized in Team Time Trials at the Tour de France. Other team mates (who it their own right were outstanding athletes) were Lubberding, Peiper, Nulens, De Rooy, Ekimov, Oosterboosch, Freuler. Wampers, Theunisse, Van Vliet, Van Lancker & Sergeant.
