Despite the fact that it was never a top team, they had a 3rd place in the GC of the 2003 Giro d'Italia, thanks to later Discovery Channel and Astana rider Yaroslav Popovych.
The team was sponsored by the Belgian companies Crelan, a bank, and Euphony, a telecommunications company.
The team folded at the end of the 2013 season, for financial reasons.
