  Cycling team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cycling team is a group of cyclists who join a team or are acquired and train together to compete in bicycle races of any kind - whether they are recreational or professional - and the supporting personnel.
Cycling teams are most important in road bicycle racing, which is a team sport, but in track cycling and cyclo-cross, collaboration between team members is also important.
Teams are generally sponsored by companies in exchange for advertising in the form of the team name, prominent placement of logos on official jerseys, and other endorsements.

An IPCT statement said a team would be forced to "automatically suspend its activity," in the event of repeated positive or suspicious doping tests.
Currently International Cycling Union (UCI) rules state that if a cyclist returns an abnormal test result, only the rider - not the team - are suspended while a B sample test is carried out.
Following a first warning and a UCI hearing, teams would be obliged to pull out of competition for a minimum of eight days if two positive doping tests, after confirmation with the B sample, or suspicious readings emerge inside a period of 12 months.
