There may have seemed to be little call for it given their performance last season, but Belgian squad Intermarché-Circus-Wanty have undergone an overhaul since the end of the 2022 campaign.

Yes, their kits have been switched up from the workmanlike white front, coloured sleeves combo to a neon and navy paint splat number, but there have been plenty of new faces at their pre-season training camp, too.
