Does anyone know anything about this amateur team?
Apparently they rode on Alimos although the pic is too low resolution to see them.

The Boels Verhuur Cycles Sjef Lemmens ploeg did ride on Benotto bikes. They were given by Alimo as the importer of this bikes. Alimo was short for 'algemene import onderneming' translated as general import company. I know this because they were clothed by the (also Dutch) same sponsor I had

Is that you in the pic? Do you still have that top?

Yes that's me (was me, 35 years and almost even kilo's ago). No... no more wool jerseys anymore. They all went to collectors
