Modern Adventure Pro Cycling

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

History

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]
