Vincenzo Nibali and Doug Ryder launch new second-tier pro team The Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team will mark South African Ryder’s return to the peloton following the demise of Qhubeka-NextHash at the end of 2021 cycling
Despite the squad’s inauspicious end, the outfit known as ‘Africa’s Team’ enjoyed a successful decade near the top of professional cycling and, through its association with the charity Qhubeka, provided 30,000 bicycles to people in Africa.
Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España winner Vincenzo Nibali, who retired from racing at last month’s Il Lombardia, will act as the team’s technical advisor and brand ambassador for Q36.5. “We have assembled a talented, motivated and committed group of individuals, who can be competitive in every type of race and terrain,” says the team’s head of performance Alex Sans Vega. “We want to perform at the highest level from the beginning. The experienced riders who have joined us from the WorldTour bring a wealth of knowledge and will be able to mentor the youngsters in our squad. We have an excellent mix to become one of the best Pro Teams.
“Cycling ignites positive change and we believe this roster of riders and staff will live our mission, will be committed to each other, and will race with passion and fight,” he said in a statement.
