Team Name: UnitedHealthcare Professional Cycling Team
Country: USA
UCI Team Ranking: 11th
Another new team for the 2014 season, which we are very happy to see. UnitedHealthcare have had a men’s team running for a long time, so it’s great to see them launching a women’s team.
Why should you watch this team? Well, they’ve got a British team manager, Rachel Heal, and also British rider Sharon Laws. Laws has previously won the incredibly gruelling Cape Epic MTB stage race, and combines cycling with a career as an environmental consultant.
Of course, you can’t forget the ever-popular Brit Hannah Barnes, who dominated the domestic scene in 2013. The first stage is in her home county too, so she’ll have tons of support and maybe some handy local knowledge.
Find out more about what Hannah Barnes has been up to, including the infamous Nocturne incident in 2013. You can also check out their team website.; uhcprocycling.com
