Palmans was a Belgian professional road and cyclo-cross cycling team that existed from 1993 until 2010.[2] The team underwent many different name changes throughout its existence, but was always sponsored by Palmans, an international road transport company.

In 2000, the team merged with Collstrop, another Belgian team.

The team disbanded for two years in 2004. Part of the staff and Palmans, the main sponsor, helped form a new Belgian team, Mr. Bookmaker–Palmans–Collstrop. In 2006, MrBookmaker.com–SportsTech split in two. Part of the team became Unibet.com and the other returned to Palmans–Collstrop. In 2010, the team permanently disbanded.[1]
