The team is sponsored by UnitedHealth Group, the world’s largest provider in the health sector.
One of the most conspicuous cyclists is Robin Carpenter, who specialises in breakaway groups.
The ambitious team has brought in reinforcements in Nate Brown, Ben King and Joey Rosskopf with years of professional experience at the highest racing level.
