2013 UCI Continental Teams and Women’s UCI Teams Announced


USA Cycling has announced the eight teams registered as men’s continental teams in the United States as well as the three U.S.-based squads registered as UCI women’s teams for the 2013 racing season.

The eight teams are in addition to the two U.S.-based UCI ProTeams (BMC Racing Team and Garmin Sharp) and the two professional continental teams (UnitedHealthCare Professional Cycling Team and  Team Novo Nordisk, formerly known as Team Type 1) previously announced by the UCI. This means that altogether, the United States houses 12 professional men’s cycling teams recognized by the UCI.
