Panasonic was a Dutch professional cycling team. It was formed in 1984 by team manager Peter Post when the TI–Raleighsplit up. A few riders followed Jan Raas to the newly formed Kwantum Hallen - Decosol - Yoko, the earliest ancestor of the current Belkin Pro Cycling Team. Most of the riders from the Raleigh team stayed with Post and joined Panasonic, sponsored by the Japanese electric products manufacturer.
