History

[edit]

Formation

[edit]

After Team Qhubeka NextHash folded in 2021, Douglas Ryder said he always wanted to come back to cycling at the top level. In 2022 Ryder was looking for riders to race for his team in 2022.[4] The team was formed with riders who already rode for UCI WorldTeams plus some riders from the second and third divisions.[5] Retired professional Vincenzo Nibali joined as the team's technical advisor.[6] In December 2022, Union Cycliste Internationale announced that Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team was granted a UCI ProTeam licence for 2023 season.[7]
