Brainwash, a chain of hair dressers' in the Netherlands and Belgium, sponsors a Dutch team of three women in cyclo-cross with top rider Sanne van Paassen and (even) younger talents Sabrina Stultiëns and Evy Kuijpers. Today, Rabosport released the news that Brainwash moves to being a co-sponsor for ("starts a cooperation with") the Rabobank Ladies Team, bringing aboard Van Paassen and Stultiëns.

Both of them will ride on the road this summer starting from June 19th for their new Rabobank - Brainwash Ladies Team (totally made up that name; not sure whether Brainwash will actually be a headline sponsor) and ride cyclo-cross this winter for Rabobank - Giant Offroad Team, like their new team mates Vos and Ferrand-Prevot. Buried in the Rabosport press release, almost a side note, is the news that Katie Compton (USA) will leave the Rabobank Giant Offroad Team. We wish both her and Kuijpers best of luck while finding a new team.

(*) The number one funniest team name in the peloton remains, of course, Baby Dump.
