🚨 George Hincapie behind new US ProTeam for 2026 🇺🇸
A roster of 20 riders is being put together with a six-year plan in the works
Hi Subscribers,
Here’s some breaking news this evening.
A new US men’s team is being assembled for 2026, with George Hincapie involved in the setup and ownership. We understand that the squad will aim for UCI ProTeam status next season, which is one step below the WorldTour.
The management includes former rider George Hincapie and his brother Richard, who managed the former Hincapie Racing Team in the US. The brothers will be the team owners, and Hincapie Sports will provide the team's clothing.
Other members of the management structure include Ty Magner, who currently races for L39ION of Los Angeles, and Joey Rosskopf. Both Magner and Rosskopf came through the ranks as young riders on the Hincapie development team over a decade ago.
Some of the details are still emerging. For example, it’s not clear who the title sponsor of the team will be, but we understand that recruitment has already started for next year.
The team plans to base itself in Girona, Spain, and have a roster of 20 riders - the minimum for a second-tier team - with at least half of the roster comprising U.S. riders. Sources have confirmed that the team is likely to be announced to the public next week.
