The Tudor Pro Cycling Team, owned by Swiss former professional cyclist Fabian Cancellara, belongs to the UCI Pro Teams and is therefore a category below the World Tour - the premier league of professional cycling - but nevertheless takes part in numerous major races by invitation.
The Tudor Pro Cycling Team is aiming for promotion to the World Tour in 2026. The new additions should help them take this step. "I'm thrilled that these new riders will strengthen the team. But first and foremost, we are adding some great people to an already great group of guys," Fabian Canellara is quoted as saying in the Tudor Pro Cycling Team press release.
