We're going to be a proper professional team, we're going to ride together as a team, not individual riders. I would say that IAM is a really Swiss team and we want to show that. First of all we need to build some sort of identity, of course its a Swiss team so we would like to keep the Swiss mentality. It's a new project, we've started on a new project that's certainly ambitious. We're completely new team but there's known riders, we come with good looking kit. Actually it's really great you know you really feel the passion of every single person on the team, everybody wants to do his best and wants to build up this team, I mean we just started like last December it's not even half a year ago and it's a good feeling to be part of it from the beginning. It's a new team, new motivation, new bikes, new clothes, new team mates, every things new so that's one of the big reasons I chose to come to this team, already in the team meeting in December that we had after 5 days sitting in the car going back to the training camp I thought yeah this was the best decision I've ever made. It's a little bit I think it reflects Swiss mentality, it's a little bit of stubbornness it's a little bit emphatic, low profile but very focused. Well the main difference is really just learning the names! It's not like a new team for me I have known them a long time and it makes it like a family, it feels like we've spent more than 2,3 years together. We're sociable, good humoured but also we work hard which is really important. What people will perceive I think in the beginning they will be a little bit curious, maybe some could be intimidated. I'm happily surprised in what state we're in at this point, there's still races to come and we'll see how things fall together but so far I have a very good feeling for this. I think we're on a good road so we'll see how it goes after a couple of months. We're going to be a proper professional team, we're going to ride together as a team and when you unite like that we will get a space in the peloton and be seen as a team to count on.
