Human Powered Health riders given permission to look for other teams as American squad set to fold
CyclingWednesday, 16 August 2023 at 02:30
The Human Powered Health men's team will cease to exist at the end of 2023. The riders and staff members were told a few days ago via an online meeting that they can look for a new team. Various sources confirm this to WielerFlits.
The riders and staff members have not been given a reason, WielerFlits is told by people within the team. "We have been informed that the team will stop at the end of the year and that we may look for a new team. Unfortunately we have not been given a reason. It was of course very unpleasant to hear this news."
"On the other hand, it is good that we already know, and not at the end of October. That way we can hopefully find a new team." First reports of the sad news for northamerican cycling came traditionally from Daniel Benson more than a week ago.
An important addition is that the Human Powered Health women's team will continue to exist. That team has been a WorldTour team since last year and can therefore participate in many major races such as the Tour de France and Paris-Roubaix.

- Yes, but as they played their part in their “failure” I wouldn’t include this instance, neither the one where MVDP helped his teammate win podium glory after their 170km breakaway duo. Speaking of cruelty, kudos on Guardiola for daring to speak out against his employer. Bet none of the cycling squad will.Mistermaumau04-02-2026
- That was Alessandro De Marchi Yeah, that sport can sometimes be cruelBM04-02-2026
- Hey Patrick, Public talk is cheap, sounds very much to me like the contract just wasn’t worth the paper it was on. If you were convinced, you’d sue no matter how rich the other party, it’s not that easy to circumvent law. Mbappé managed, WVA didn’t, it all depends on specifics, which you totally avoid divulging. This is by far not the first such case in cycling. Something tells me some of those buy-out clauses might not be totally kosher, perhaps more like a scarecrow for the non-initiated?Mistermaumau04-02-2026

This is by far not the first such case in cycling and if you hate everyone who breaks a rule, you’ve not got many people left to like in cycling. Perhaps wait before making a big fuss over one bad call like yours, especially since it didn’t stop you making many others concerning other matters.Mistermaumau04-02-2026
- Exactly, hopefully for the guy Unibet won’t be challenging Ineos too often so he doesn’t regret the move.Mistermaumau04-02-2026
- Geraint, I think you have enough work to do building your own strategy and attack, what reason is there for someone like you to take part in such mundane distractions?Mistermaumau04-02-2026
- Ineos are spending too much money for too little gain. Most of their assets are non performing at the top stageabstractengineer04-02-2026
- It takes two to tango. If Denk send a contract, then it is because Remco asked for it. PatLef carefully avoids criticizing Remco.abstractengineer04-02-2026
- SEE is the operative word here. There are plenty of young ones burnt out already, since many years it’s just that it’s on a level the public doesn’t see. Anyone involved in youth sport cannot deny that for every rider who makes it to the pro status there are 10 who tried their best for many years and didn’t even get a contract. Not because of lack of work, sometimes not even because of lack of talent, it’s just the nature of pro sport, only a certain number can be considered but for that number you have to have a bigger pool. I don’t see why ONLY those who made it to the top need to be protected, if something is to (can) be done, it should be at all levels.Mistermaumau04-02-2026
- yeah how is this disputed? he is the best ever at CX. most World Cup wins, most world championships. and if the other reader had read the entire quote, it isn't too hard to understand.mij04-02-2026

As things stand the Human Powered Health men's team will fold at the end of the season. Not found a sponsor yet for 2024. Budget remains for this year. That's confirmed by two sources.
