The United Healthcare Pro Cycling Team is an American professional road cycling team comprised of riders and staff from all over the world, with ambitious goals on and off the racecourse. The men and women of the team race at the highest level all around the world, from historic, century-old European road races known as “classics,” to breathtaking, fast-paced criteriums that take place in cities and towns all over the United States. Each rider has a different background and role within the team, but the goal on the UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team is always the same: setting a positive example through teamwork, dedication, and hard work.
Proudly representing UnitedHealthcare for the eighth consecutive year, the team provides an opportunity to help promote the benefits of exercise, nutrition and healthy living to individuals across the country. A professional cyclist’s diet, training regiment, and healthy lifestyle are good examples of the values UnitedHealthcare promotes, along with innovation and performance, which are critically important in the competitive sport of cycling.
Whether winning races in far away lands, or teaching children at your local elementary school how to safely ride a bicycle around the neighborhood, the UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team aims to make a difference, and invites you to roll with us.
