Modern Adventure Pro Cycling is an American professional road cycling team that started competing in its first season in 2026. The team holds UCI ProTeam status, the second highest tier.[1]

History

[edit]

On June 23, 2025, former cyclist George Hincapie and his brother Richard announced that they would establish a new professional cycling team starting in the 2026 season. The team would initially be a UCI ProTeam, with a goal to compete in the Tour de France by 2032.[2] The title sponsor is Portland-based travel agency Modern Adventure, while British bicycle manufacturer Factor Bikes provide bicycles and money for the project.[3]

The management team, in addition to the Hincapie brothers, also includes Bobby Julich as the head directeur sportif, in addition to Ty Magner, Alex Howes, and Joey Rosskopf.[3] The team is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina with a European base in Girona, Spain.[4]

In November 2025, the 20 riders that formed the inaugural roster were announced, followed by the addition of Tyler Stites in December.[5]
